Comic strips - part 5

Damn I have a lot of comics.

Rocket Road Trip (http://rocketroadtrip.com/)
A superhero comic that updates once a week.

Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/)
Another video gaming strip. It's one of the more successful strips out there, but I think it's really kinda weak.

Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php)
This one, on the other hand, is brilliant. Three times a week you get a whole page of their ongoing storyline. Well drawn, great story, and funny. The only reason I don't have all of the books for this is because I keep forgetting what numbers I have and don't buy any.

XKCD (http://xkcd.com/)
The internet is populated by nerds and this strip is for them. It's stick figures doing all kinds of gags with lots of math and science thrown in. A lot of the comics get passed around the internet.

Nodwick (http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/index.htm)
Actually, there are several comics on this page, all done by the same guy. I used to collect his comic book, PS238, but then the distributors changed the rules about minimum allowable order by a comic book store. Now I order a bunch off this site every 12 months or so.
Friday links is partially populated with stuff I see on this page.

Theater Hopper (http://www.theaterhopper.com/)
A comic about movie lovers.

Ctrl Alt Delete (http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php)
Another video game based comic. Over the years it's developed into something better, but still sticks in the general area of video game subjects.

My First Dictionary (http://myfirstdictionary.blogspot.com/)
Formatted like a kid's book to help them learn new words, this comic uses the words in dark and adult themed situations.

Hanna is not a Boy's Name (http://hanna.aftertorque.com/)
I'm still trying to decide if I like this one. It's got a long running storyline, it's not funny, and it updates irregularly. It's about some supernatural private eye.

Punch and Pie (http://www.punchanpie.net/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi)
This is a life strip. It's humorous. It focuses on two girls who stopped dating a long time ago. I'm starting to wonder how long it's gonna be before the author gets the two of them back together again. I suggest starting at the beginning.
