The Trenches: A darker look at the industry we love

Video game tester.  Three words that I’m certain many gamers had wistfully considered some time over the years.  For those of us who were raised with fond memories of trouncing games going back two decades, the ability to go to work and play games for a living sounds like a dream come true.  I don’t [...]

Romantically Apocalyptic: Zee Captain lives on

The apocalypse.  Everyone seems convinced that it’s gotta happen sometime, and there sure are a lot of theories on exactly how that’s going to go down.  Is a comet going to burn away our atmosphere by coming too close to Earth?  Maybe an invisible mystery planet will crash into ours, ending all life.  While the [...]

The Underfold: A study in doing it wrong

It’s been too long since I’ve done a comic review, but to be honest I was on such a hot streak I became a bit overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the great comics I had found. Luckily that won’t be an issue this time around. Today we’re going to discuss a little thing [...]

Two Guys and a Guy: A strong argument against friendship

Friendship is a strange creature.  I’m not going to say it’s magical.  No, any corny statement I could have made along those lines has been thoroughly ruined by the resurgence of a girly tv show for girls that was around back when I was a young boy.  But that’s besides the point, shut up.  I [...]

Corporate Skull: Company secrets or random debauchery?

I haven’t reviewed a comic for a while!  Not sure what’s up with that, but I’ll fix this right up on the double.  For quite some time now I’ve been aware of the existence of Corporate Skull, but it has only been recently that I decided to take a look at what this comic has [...]

Zombie Hunters: friends fatalities and fun

So, I’m beginning to notice a trend. I’m quite the zombie fan. I usually don’t care much for horror stories, unless there are zombies. I’ve decided there are several reasons for this. Zombie stories lend themselves to humor much more readily than slashers, monster movies, and the like. You can get away with a few [...]

Dumbing of Age: A second try at a normal-ish life

Once upon a time, there were a group of teenagers who were very excited to be heading off to college and on their own.  Sure, there were sacrifices that needed to be made.  Friends from high school left behind.  Social perils to be faced.  But for Danny and Joe, Joyce and Sarah and a wide [...]

Goats: Two guys and a chicken walk into a bar…

Jon Rosenberg has been in the web comic business for a long time.  In April of 1997, Rosenberg started Goats, which he refers to as a pseudo-autobiographical comic featuring himself and his friend Phillip, though you should be aware that apparently much of their life in 1997 was centered around booze and the consumption of [...]

Bad Machinery: The mysteries of Tackleford

Tackleford is a really, really weird place.  No, I’ve never been overseas, and I’m not entirely sure if Tackleford is a real place or not (what, google it?  Man, forget LEARNING) but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tackleford is where the weirdness happens.  And anyone who has read the collected works [...]

Comics Curmudgeon: Turning “laffs” into actual hilarity

Do you remember the misty bygone days when you were just a wee lad or lass, waking up on a bright Sunday morning (or being ripped out of bed before the sun came up because that’s apparently the only time that church is allowed to happen) and coming down the stairs to the kitchen where [...]
