So i'm taking a break from doing some interning work because reading teeny-tiny fonts was starting to strain my eyes.
You know whats fun? Research. So, rather than actually move forward on my own webcomic (really, it's getting there...) I've decided to tell you all about some more comics i love. So, without further ado:
1- Ctrl Alt Del
When I made the last list, this was one of the 1st that came to my head. But then i thought, "is there anyone who doesn't know about it already?" So, I omitted it. But then, whilst talking to a friend of mine i realized that not everyone knows about it... or he's just oblivious. Anyways, Ctr, Alt Del is by far the premier videogame based web-comic. It's basically about two guys who work in retail and a girl who's a pro-gamer (ah, to live the dream). The main character is lovably insane, and suffers from a crippling addiction to MMO's. It's comforting to me, since I once had a similar addiction, though I never tried to sell my best friend into slavery to support my habit. Oh yeah, and there's a robot built from an xbox 360. The author also does a bunch of strips to introduce the reader to the culture of gaming. They are all pretty hilarious, mostly because they are so true...

2- Flaky Pastry
Flaky Pastry is... weird. It's basically what would happen if you took all the classic fantasy genre characters and had them all enrolled in College together in some generic big city. I really can't explain it, but it's drawn fantastically. It can get a little wordy though.

-after i finish my spy training, i'll be able to do this: http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=36
3-Sub Culture
it takes place in a comic book shop. So it's all about comics, natch. anyways... it's a little generic in the characters, but i think the humor and drawing style makes up for it.

So yeah, those are some more good ones. It saddens me that i don't have more to add. but a lot of the webcomics i've seen as of late are boooorring.
