Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: July 23 - 29, 2006

A lot of good ones this week, but I had to settle on Digital Unrest. It was a tough choice between DU, Fanboys, and Penny-Arcade, but I ruled Penny-Arcade out after deciding that had the DU and PA comics both been done by PA, the DU one was just plain funnier.

I really wanted to give my vote to Fanboys (because I totally think calling Mortal Kombat should be protected by law), but since I decided against it, I'd at least like to thank the author for delivering a great comic this week!

Penny Arcade was awesome this time around.

My vote would be for Little Gamers this week mainly for the truth featured in the following strip http://www.little-gamers.com/index.php?comicID=1404

PA all the way!

I'm all for concerned.

while i know theres so chance of wining, im giving my vote to the console wars under dog. I really liked it:p

Press Start was pretty good, and as always PA is the pinnicle of comics

Hah, thanks for that GsusFreek. Concerned definitely was the best this week, but I voted for PA.

If you thought concerned was the best why did you vote for Penny Arcade? Don't get me wrong Tycho and Gabe are my frikkin idols but if you dont vote based off the strengths of the comic and instead on fanboyism then this whole voting thing is pointless.

I'm glad my comic made it up there :d , surrounded by all those freakin' awesome comics :)

I completely loved the Mortal Kombat one :P and yes, it should be legal.

Chris, because Concerned wasn't one of the options.

The fanboyism paranoia is spreading.

Oh and Mortal Kombat was brilliant. Got my vote, tempted to vote for Penny Arcade because of LocoRoco, but really, other than referencing that, it didn't funny me.

Concerned, I know it's not the point, but the source material gets a bit old. "Look, a chest high wall" "Freeman doesn't talk" etc.

Haha oh yeh my bad! Appologies Mark D I will endeavor to think before I speak next time *bows*

I stopped from reading de comics when i read: Nuklear Power.

ROFL ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ So fucking hilarious.

I think many people didnt read the comics and just voted. Because the one of Penny Arcade is not funny at all, but the one from Nuklear Power is so hilarious.

Nuklear Power FTW ¡¡¡ It made my day :)

There were a lot of good comics this week ^^

Forget the poll, we just got our gaming humor fix :x

Ugh... a not-as-funny Penny Arcade is gonna win out just because it is P.A.

What hell spawn caused the Concerned one to be left out this week?

Man, PA was funny. But how can you say no to Fanboys? I mean mortal kombat, comic genious! IDK, maybe i'm just not a PA whore like everyone else. lol

I read all of them, but when I noticed the Nuklear Power one was up there, I just had to pick it. I don't care what anyone else thinks, 8-bit theater is easily the funniest comic on the net, as long as you have read every page.

If anyone else is like me, the only one that made sense (and was marginally funny while making sense) was PA, which is why I voted for it. I know what mortal kombat is, and I think it would have been a lot funnier if I understood the reference (I'm sure I'm not getting something about it that probably makes it hillarious). Same goes for Nuklear power -- I play games only occasionally, so I dont really understand what the joke is. I get what they're saying, but it's just not funny (again, likely my fault). PA seems to be on the level of the casual gamer (such as myself) so they're easy to understand.

Nuklear Power was pure gold this time.

4: Little Gamers would have been funnier if I hadn't read the exact same thing a day earlier:
