My favorite comic is Pearls Before Swine (http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/).  There are a lot of different characters, but my favorites are Rat and Pig.  Here are some samples:

Here's one from the webcomic xkcd (http://www.xkcd.com/#)that's very funny to me because it's true:  :D

Here's a pbf strip I could relate to:

Yay, XKCD!

With XKCD, sometimes it's the mouseover text that holds the punchline, which can be accessed only from the website.

"Men in Hats" has always been among my favorites. Here is one that is particularly applicable to our situation here, from time to time:

These are pretty good, thanks.

Thanks for that one, Gurn.  Perhaps it should be made into an instructional sticky for The Diner...?

xkcd is possibly the most popular web comic right now...

Some of my favorites are:

These two are gold as well:

Hitting "random" on that website will award you much amusement and mirth.  ;D

Zippy contains some of the greatest satire against the nonsense of modern society: nonsense like The DaVinci Code.

Oops. I got confused, thought this was that other thread (http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,10520.0.html)... ;D (Guess that one is only for strips collected in book form... ;))

Who else reads The Comics Curmudgeon (http://joshreads.com/)? One of my favorite blogs, perhaps the favorite.

...but I found that today's XKCD is more relevant to this board.

XKCD 1110 will probably break some records soon. It's been over 10 minutes since I went to the page and I've still not completely seen all of the main panel!

I spent way too much time on that. It's a great one (at least in one way), but the art / craft ratio isn't too high - and many of the more 'normal' xkcd's (small letters  ;) ) I find more enjoyable.

I agree. I suspect that he took a gigpix landscape photo of some American city, converted it to his comic format and then put in all the XKCDians. ;D I think we can expect a blagpost soon with all the details.

Yes, it's definitely some US city.

This xkcd is really scary - there are too much references to this:
(http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/calvinlast.gif)
OTOH, if it is the last one, I have no problem with that - there are plenty of the comics already, and Randall has probably exhausted a lot of the possibilities of the comic - even though they are almost limitless.

I highly doubt that it would be. I expect a last map, if there is one, to be a lot more subtler. I think this is just an expansion of his Internet Map, log scale view of the universe and things of that sort.

Yeah, it might just be that he's teasing us, but the comic is quite old already.
