Weekly Webcomic Wrapup (January 15 - 21, 2006)

It didn't take long before Dan Hsu's latest stunt caught the attention of webcomic artists, which can only mean one thing: Peter Moore caricatures! If there's an artist reading this, we're still waiting on the Dan Hsu vs. Peter Moore Street Fighter parody - Moore launches a fireball from an overheated Xbox 360 and Hsu blocks it with a copy of Sneakers, Kabuki Warriors, and Barbie Horse Adventures - hey, we can dream right?
On a sadder note, Jody's World has closed up shop indefinitely, until he can save up $150 for a tablet. He's asking for donations, and with $10 you can snag an original strip from the site. Depressing, but with that said, here are some of the demented game-related webcomics of the week - be sure to vote for your fave!
With his dying breath, Jody designed us a new, more streamlined comment box - we are currently beta testing it, but here
is a preview of what's to come - hopefully, this will expediate the comment process. Enjoy!

LOL VGCats is gonna win hands down.
The recent one Penny Arcade did on the Peter Moore interview was pretty funny tho.

ya, the VGcats one was good. i love his sense of humor in all his comics. but i have togo with press start, every game has at least one NPC in a weird spot at a weird time doing a weird thing that you have to clean up after.
i havent been watching these web comic polls all too religoiusly, but every time VGCats comes up it seams to win. is this fanboy-ism? or is he just that good?

There's nothing like Kirby with an STD.

Voted for VGCats, but the PA one on Wedensday with the giraffe porn was even funnier. Too bad it wasn't game related.

No, just lame.

He caught the wrong kind of herpes though.

Yeah, "Savannah Heat" is not on the list because it's not game-related. Sure, it's funny, but not all PA strips can qualify.

I don't understand how everyone can find VGCats so funny. It's lame, and so not funny. Is everyone else reading Joystiq a 14-year-old nerd?

No...you just need to lighten up a little.
