Teh Most Awesome Geeky Web Comics
Its a great time to be a geek, and there are some riotously funny, original web comics out there. If you know what a saving throw or regex is, you won’t want to miss these. I personally subscribe to all of these via RSS (for the ones that offer it, of course), so I’ve provided the RSS link as well.
Doctor Fun - when I first stumbled across this comic strip, I was simply blown away. Dave, the genius behind Doctor Fun, seems to have a bizarre fixation with Cthulhu, squirrels and marshmallow peeps, but let’s not hold that against him. This strip is perfect for anyone with a background in biology, computers, and general geekiness. I’d say he reminds me of Gary Larson, but that seems to be a kiss of death for comic strip artists. Doctor Fun is no longer in production (which breaks my freaking heart) but there are years of awesomeness you can browse through available in the Ibiblio archives.
Penny Arcade - Honestly, if you haven’t heard of this comic, you have no right calling yourself a geek - but I have to include it for the sake of completeness. Funny, totally nerdy, sometimes mean - one of my favorites, and its thanks to Penny Arcade that I first started listening to Jonathan Coulton. [rss]
xkcd - Supremely geeky, sometimes sad, sometimes sweet, xkcd has to be one of the smartest comics out there. I own the “sudo make me a sandwich” shirt, and the people who get it, love it. The rest can sod off. This comic resonates with computer geeks, math nerds, physics brains, and code poets alike. [rss]
Diesel Sweeties - a pixelated paradise of nerdiness, complete with human-hating robots, a talking toaster and self-doubt. [rss]
Foamy the Squirrel - Although this technically isn’t particularly geeky, and it technically isn’t a web comic, since they are Flash Animations, EVERYONE should know about the wonder that is Foamy. Go there now - ou’ll never be the same.
Noobz! - If you play MMORPGs, you won’t want to miss this weekly gem. [rss]
IrregularWebComic - Think Robot Chicken in web comic form, using LEGOs. [rss]
