The list includes all comics I&#8217;m currently reading, but none of the one&#8217;s I intend to read. If eventually I acquire new information, I&#8217;ll update this, in theory. All the comic links over to the right are here, except Dino Comics, I haven&#8217;t gotten to that one yet. If you disagree with me, that&#8217;s fine. If you dunno what to read though you might take one of my suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all appreciate this.  I mean, for a guy that has a hard time deciding if he&#8217;s hungry or not, this was a lot of work.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.somethingpositive.net\/index.html\">Something Positive <\/a>(awesome, really funny)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samandfuzzy.com\/\">Sam and Fuzzy <\/a> (very funny, has a Dogbert\/Ger character) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.penny-arcade.com\/view.php3\">Penny Arcade <\/a>(A favorite, funny, mostly about gaming and the industry)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neilswaab.com\/comics\/wiggles\/\">Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles<\/a> (rude and crude, but very funny if you like that)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctrlaltdel-online.com\/index.php?t=archives&#038;date=last\">Ctrl+Alt+Del <\/a>(mostly about games again, I think it&#8217;s funny)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whiteninjacomics.com\/comics.shtml\">White Ninja <\/a>(random but undeniably entertaining)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/smbc.keenspace.com\/\">Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal<\/a> (No longer dead as of update #2.

I recommend both.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elsiehooper.com\/todaysserial.htm\">Elsie Hooper<\/a> (story driven, relatively short, entertaining though.  About man in a town being attacked by aliens.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.niego.org\/index\/art.html\">Niego <\/a>(Relatively few as of 3-&#8217;05, updates twice a week, can have it e-mailed to you, decent art, pretty funny, little story. Might become even funnier in the future.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.megatokyo.com\/\">Megatokyo <\/a>(story driven, some funny, really popular. About two Americans working in Japan to make money to go home, and a bunch of random other stuff.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/flem.keenspace.com\/\">FLEM!<\/a> (rants from a politically minded guy, kinda dead now.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/twolumps.keenspace.com\/\">Two Lumps<\/a> (by FLEM! guy, about two cats, really different from FLEM!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stupidtrek.popecoreindustries.com\/\">Stupid Trek<\/a> (made by friend, Ben Cowin, and based on stories written by him with contribution by my other friend, Aaron Nelson. It&#8217;s pretty funny to me, but I know who all the characters are based on irl. Since most people reading this don&#8217;t, I put it lower down. I appear in it&#8230; I&#8217;m the one with the huge cowlick. Many of the Stupid Trek original stories are available at the site as well.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobandgeorge.com\/index.html\">Bob and George<\/a> (sprites, endless, kinda plot driven, lots of lame jokes)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midnightmacabre.com\/index.html\">Midnight Macabre<\/a> (done my the Something Positive guy.  Only 3 comics in so far so I put it way down here.  I expect good things though.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/purplepussy.net\/\">Purple Pussy!<\/a> (horrible, total potty humor, don&#8217;t read it)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cyberbooty.com\/\">Cyberbooty<\/a> (similar to Purple Pussy!, but less and it might be dead)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I also receive Garfield and Dilbert via e-mail daily. If you want that just give me your e-mail and I&#8217;ll hook u up, or search and find it yourself. The Garfield one started coming to me as spam, so it can&#8217;t be that hard.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. Read them all and you&#8217;ll be as cool as me. That&#8217;s a lot of links, if some of them don&#8217;t work, please just comment or search and figure it out yourself. I also welcome suggestions of other comics to read, although I already have a list. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #1: I added Orneryboy&#8230; can&#8217;t believe I forgot it.  Read it!  I put it at #7)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #2: It appears that Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) is updating again and it is hilarious. Having remembered this I have raised it&#8217;s ranking from #11 to #7. I have also added a permant link on the right margin with all the other comic links. They are one panel randomly funny no story comics, so there&#8217;s really no excuse not to read them.)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #3: Added Niego to the #28 spot.  I just read it all today on a recommendation from the author or Sam and Fuzzy.)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #4: Added Punks and Nerds to #14)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #5: &#8220;Elftor will be back in a few days. Just be patient!!&#8221; was posted by Elftor&#8217;s author on his site yesterday. Also, I added The Order of the Stick to my list at #10.)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #6: Added Clan BOB. I read it long ago but it stopped, but I found it over Jan Term break on our hold desktop computer and lo and behold it updates every now and then. So it&#8217;s on there and I&#8217;m checking it regularly again. It&#8217;s #16)<\/p>\n<p>(Edit #7: Added Midnight Macabre at #37.  I am hoping to be able to bump it up many slots in the future)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have taken the time to rank the web comix I am familiar with, so that those of you who are not reading what you should be, will know where to begin.
