What's your favorite comic strip (or book, or webcomic)?

One time where he was funny when he was insulting Sony was with this memorable quote:
"Ah, sir? You do know you're not wearing any pants?"
"were sony, dammit! Fuck pants!"

EDIT: found it:

That actually sounds more like something Nintendo would say, except for the "fuck the customers" part.

For what it's worth, my favorite online stip is RPG World. Unfortunately, after a year of tentative hiatus, the author ended it just before the final confrontation.

Yeah. That was a good strip back in the day. Hasn't he said that he intended to finish it at some point though?

Aye, he did say he intended to finish it. But, as with most major projects people undertake in their lives, it ended before its time. Will he actually finish it at some point? One can only hope! But I won't hold my breath.

The strips were excellent right up to the very last one. And, bloody hell, he literally did end it right before the final confrontation! That's like getting just up to Sephiroth and then your friggin' disc cracks in two.

My Final Fantasy 7 disk is scratched right near the start of the ending...

Also that one where his xbox robot was destroyed and his girlfriend told him he could use her ps2, but he said he didnt want a gay robot. That was kinda funny...

Yeah, I can't appreciate when people don't find something funny because the humor is biased against their own bias or opinion. That's kinda sad to me. When I was an active Mormon, I could laugh at myself easily. I've never appreciated the whole "offended" thing. People call me short, I go "yup!". People call me stupid, I go "yup!" People call me a dork, I go "yup!" People say Xbox is the best and Nintendo is stupid and RPGs are gay, I say "I disagree." If they make a funny joke using their bias, I still laugh. Why can't everyone do the same? Laugh if it's funny, people!

Right on.  Either something is funny or its not.

But back on topic,  there are several comics I like, each for their own reason.  If I had to pick a ‘favorite‘, it would probably be either Bob and George, 8-bit theater, or College Rommies From Hell.  A three way tie I cant resolve in my own mind.  B&G is consistently funny, 8-bit Theater has Black Mage (‘nuff said), and CRFH is so totally unlike anything else out there that even when the story is going nowhere, its such a damn bizarre ‘nowhere’ that its still entertains.

These days, I prefer a good web comic to the old fashioned printed comic book.  Marvel has lost their way ever since the Heroes Reborn/Return story arc, and I’m not sure anyone knows what going on with DC anymore.  Maybe I’ve outgrown them, but that’s kind of hard to believe when I laugh at the same ‘ice cream’ or ‘Mega-Man is stupid’ joke every month when I read B&G.  

Honorable mentions:

Captain SNES: The Game Masta
No, that wasn’t misspelled.  A quaint little web comic that pays homage to the old cartoon Captain N, while at the same time forging a brave, new plot that would be great if the author didn’t jump around so much.  I’m still trying to get the phrase ‘that’s stupid fresh’ to catch on, unsuccessfully I might add.  Maybe if I got Carson Daily to say it once…


Venus Envy
A semi-serious strip about a teenaged transsexual boy trying to live life as a girl. All the trials and tribulations of high school life, plus one big-ass secret. I usually prefer my entertainment to have a little ‘reality’ in it as possible, but this one is well written enough to be the exception.  Due to the subject matter, its obviously not for everyone.

PAWN

The on going adventure of a cute little virgin lesbian scholar, and the top-heavy, ridiculously sexy fire demoness bound to her by ancient magic.  Wackiness ensues.

White Ninja is my favorite...

Mega Tokyo is the story of l33t dudes in Japan playing games and stuff. It's not satire or anything, just story based.[/img]

Yeah...I never quite understood the appeal for Mega Tokyo; perusing volume 1 briefly at Walden Books one time. The mix of real life games and manga didn't sit too well.

Anybody here read Get Fuzzy? A pretty recent comic, that if you have cat, you can relate to. Probably my second or third favorite newspaper serialization.
