By special request #2

so I should be doing one of three things right now.
1) cleaning my room
2) laundry
3) exercising

Instead i chose option number 4! laziness.

So I'm surfing the net. which reminds me that Erin (who hasn't read this in a half decade anyway) told me to post about my favorite webcomics. She seems to think I'm the "artsy one" out of our friends. I just think I've got a lot of time on my hands and enjoy halfheartedly getting a new hobby every six months. But here's the list of my favorite webcomics:

1) www.xkcd.com
xkcd comics had a tendency to pop into my life via other websites. I always thought the comics themself were funny or poignant. But I always figured they were a one time thing, since i generally spotted them as posts on other sites. Finally a friend showed me that xkcd has actually been around forever, I'm just not very, "with it." Anyways....The comics are generally about science, math, or romance. here are a few of my favorite:
- This one's about romance http://www.xkcd.com/150/
- this one's about science. It's my favorite. http://www.xkcd.com/18/

2) www.questionablecontent.net
Do not, i repeat, Do Not search dot com. It's not good stuff... But this comic is one of my favorites. It takes place at a coffee shop and i really like the drawing style (probably because it's a little like my own). The most interesting character in my opinion is hannellore. She's certifiable, afraid of pretty much everything, but she's a genius. But really all the characters have really nice story arcs. It's sweet. Also, the author has two characters who are "anthro-pc's." In other words, they're crazy little robots that run around making trouble. One's a pc, one's a mac. It's adorable.

- This is one of my favorites http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=792
- Hannelore http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=865

3) www.licd.com
Least I Could Do is a comic about a self-centered, womanizing jackass. Yet, the main character redeems himself time and time again. It's kinda like house, but without all the blood. He's also a huge nerd, which I like.
- What I would do if i had movie fx artists at my disposal http://www.licd.com/comic/20080314
- Our daydreams are very similar http://www.licd.com/comic/20060812
- He's also a great uncle http://www.licd.com/comic/20060425
- awesome http://www.licd.com/comic/20060527

4) www.girlswithslingshots.com
This one's in black and white most of the time. The main characters are two girls and their hangout is a bar. But, it's written by a guy and it's not melodrama. It is a very odd comedy. They get up to all kinds of hijinks and the main character has a cactus named Pedro who starts to talk to her when she's drunk. Also, Pedro has a scottish accent...
- Pedro! http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS151.html
- Hazel's a grumpy english major http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS007.html
- Jameson goes on a date with a blogger http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS034.html

5) www.vgcats.com
This one's all about video games. The original main characters are cats, but they branch out every once in a while.
- one of my favorites. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=263
- Final Fantasy... who remembers breeding these? http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=72
- Vg kills pikachu http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=1

6) www.dieselsweeties.com
Diesel sweeties is drawn in this really wierd pixelated fashion. But i kinda dig it. Though the plots aren't as great, it's pretty funny.
- nerdy stuff http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive/2030
- remembering the 90's http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive/2024

xkcd is one of my all time favorites. I can't even share all the ones I love, there are too many.
I've seen most of the rest, but just never got that into them.
