Weekly Webcomic Wrapup (Jan 22 - 28, 2006)
It looks like Snake is getting his own interactive comic book - another new medium to grace the PSP screen. Reminiscing about Sam & Max and Parappa the Rapper always makes us a little emotional, so while we go find some tissues and our copy of Sleepless in Seattle, here are some of the best game-related webcomics of the week - vote for your favorite.

What a totally dull week. Not one of those is worthy of winning. I'm baffled at VG Cats winning, its barely even a joke!
Boooooooooring.

I like the VG Cats webcomic. It's able to convey a humorous message without any words. If you're going to tell a joke where the words do not need to be seen for it to be humorous, just write it or tell me the joke. If I'm going to read (or in this case, look at) a webcomic, I want to be amused by the images. Penny Arcade fails.

I agree with #1...this was kinda weak.
I personally liked gucomics mainly b/c I've been going to E3 since 1999 and the fact that they are "cleaning up" the whole booth babe thing is laughable. They don't even really enforce the "18 years or older rule."

The VG Cats one is just filler because the artist missed this week. He doesn't even consider this one a comic. I love VGCats, but this one shouldn't be in the running for the competition this week.

The thing is, VGCat episodes with less than 5 panels and/or words tend to lack wit. They're funny no doubt, but I look for more than funny.

it was close for me between VG Cats and Foxtrot..
Foxtro won out in the end :-D. had to who my love for Diablo.
i did think VG Cats was clever and humorous, though.
PA sucked ass, which is uncharacteristic for them.. and i think the only reason they're winning is reputation alone.

Haha, read all the descriptions in order. It kinda makes a story.

When is VGCats ever going to be funny? It always wins and it never, ever makes me laugh the way other webcomics do.

Someone want to explain VG Cats? I thought it was just a filler, not even a joke...

Penny Arcade must be making a comic about itself. Only to mock us. There is no way that more people thought that their comic was funnier or more clever than the others. They must be paying people to vote for their webcomic, because although topical, there were at least 3 better comics this week.
