Webcomics

Ahh, webcomics, perfectly designed to distract you for that five minutes after you're done reading your bookmarked blogs and before you search for that new Emma Watson Playboy shoot. As expected, there are tons of webcomics out there that make Garfield look like comedy genius in comparison but here I am, with the best.

Wondermark

Wondermark's gimmick is basically the usage of vintage illustrations but it works so well and in fact, I can't imagine the execution being any better. Also, the actual content is excellent, ranging from observational humour to social commentary to pure slapstick silliness.

Photobucket

It has the great archive to trawl through but some strips might be a little hard to grasp so don't feel dumb if you don't get the humour, dumbass.

Explosm

It's very hit-or-miss and the site is laden with ads for online t-shirt stores and other nonsense but I thought the latest comic was pretty funny.

Even though some of his strips have painfully-contrived set-ups and he relies too much on running gags, I can see some of you liking Explosm the most because you're all dumbasses. But seriously, you'll like this if you enjoy stuff like The Family Guy.

Morning Glory

Photobucket

The most legendary webcomic ever, Jesus will hate you for laughing at it. Seriously, you can spend 40 years of life dedicating yourself to helping blind retarded AIDS victims deep in Africa but one chuckle at this and you're still going straight to hell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And, an honourable mention for Questionable Content, which has more snarky hipster-ish dialogue than Garden State and Juno combined together but start reading from the very first strip and I dare you not to feel a connection to the characters. You will also go blind because the time I read through the entire archive, it took me five hours.

That's all I've got. Seriously, the Morning Glory comics are not work-safe at all.
