That’s right, I filled the entire screen with my snake and crashed into the back of myself.

webcomics, or how to make your life less drab

02.04.2009 (10:39 pm) – Filed under: I'm nerdy as sin

Axiom number one: I believe in webcomics.

Axiom number two: not all webcomics are created equal.

Axiom number three: if you are unable to distinguish between a good webcomic and a bad one, you may be a troll, a moron, a communist, a leech, a teenager with a learning disability, or any combination of the above.

Here are my top five web comics.

  • Dinosaur Comics – I love this comic because it is a good reflection of my internal conversations.
  • xkcd – math, code, romance, science, and life all wrapped up in stick-figure goodness
  • Dresden Codak – besides the obvious (that I am in love with Kimiko), this is an incredibly drawn comic with wonderful and constant references to philosophy, physics, transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and lots of other interesting stuff. Supreme!
  • Toothpaste for Dinner – Ohio. What more do I need to say?
  • indexed – I like the style of this daily math-based (and usually corny) “comic”
