More Webcomics that Deserve to Be Credited

Eric Yu
In my other post, "Top 5 Webcomics", I listed my top favorite webcomics according to rank. In this segment, and perhaps part of an ongoing list, are some more webcomics that deserve due recognition for their achievements in entertainment and art. Without further adieu, here is the list:

Sinfest - written by Tatsuya Ishida

Sinfest is a over zealous political webcomic that deals with the day-to-day life of main character Slick, a height-challenged young male whose attempts to become a promiscuous god is only overshadowed by his ironically large ego. With the appearances of the animated version of God, who likes to reenact puppet shows geared towards his current mood, the Devil, who runs his Sell-Your-Soul business out of a cardboard stand on the sidewalk, Jesus, who proceeds to lay the smack down on the Devil on the basketball courts, and Slick's love interest, overly curvy and flirt Monique, this webcomic points out the political innuendo of Tatsuya Ishida's own social opinions. All wrapped into a blanket of comedy. And pigs. You'll get it if you read it.

Dr. McNinja - written by Chris Hastings

Irish people became ninjas after witnessing the potential killing ability of frozen shamrocks. A gorilla acts as a concierge clerk at a health clinic. Ronald McDonald is a voracious businessman with mime powers. A extremely-toned abdominal section makes you grow an organic jet pack. A dinosaur named Yoshi? If you're any bit confused right now, then you're good to go. Dr. McNinja is a slapstick webcomic that deals primarily in surreal humor. The main character of this series is well, Dr. McNinja, a ninja whose professional occupation is that of a doctor - he was personally under the tutelage of a clone of Benjamin Franklin himself! Dr. McNinja is comprised of epic story lines that tell great morals of power, love, and responsibility to the choices you made. All the while killing people while tossing out dramatic one-liners. This is what all comic books should be like.

Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire - written by Michael Terracciano

This webcomic takes place in a fantasy world where magic is abundant and so are stupid common folk. Enter Dominic Deegan, an oracle for hire who can prophesize your future for a nominal fee. Be careful to read the sign out front first though, he only does one personal reading a day, so there's no point in annoying him for another one. But then again, he already knew that you would. Originally comprised of short strips full of puns, parodies, and poetic jokes, this webcomic now has turned into a full-fledged webcomic with numerous story lines that spans over months. Be sure to appreciate the creative puns that Terracciano splices into his work.

Little Gamers - written by Christian Fundin and Pontus Madsen

At risk of me losing my manliness, I have to admit that part of the appeal of reading this webcomic is that no matter how much times you read it, those little gamers are f**king cute. Integrate that with a gamer-heavy storyline, multiple crossovers from other webcomics, a little Swedish love, and you got yourself a light comic read, perfect for those unproductive hours at work..

Penny Arcade
- written by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik

Reader beware, this webcomic is for the most die hard of video gamers. Any attempts to view this material without prior knowledge to the gaming community and/or experience to video games could cause you to lose your sanity. That said, let's get this rolling. As I mentioned before, this webcomic is for the incredibly die hard video gamers. A lot of game references are made and only those with prior knowledge to them will get the punchlines. Why is it so successful then? Because a major proportion of the male population out there are rabid video gamers, and an even bigger percentage has nothing better to do all day than sit on their chair and surf the Internet. If you have the time, and gamer cred, join Tycho and Gabe on their insane escapades from daily life to facing Magma Spiders.

    I'll have to check these out--especially the video game one (by the way, not all die-hard gamers are guys!).
