Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: NO! edition

by Ross Miller { Oct 28th 2006 at 2:00PM }

Let it not be unknown that this will not be an illogical lesson on negation. Since not everyone doesn't complain about none of the above, we will not ignore it. Don't not repeat this after me,

"I will not vote for ... "
	... not VG Cats
	... not Frank Caron's 8-bit/ch
	... not Geek Like Me
	... not Dueling Analogs
	... not Game Boyz
	... not Penny Arcade
	... not Ctrl+Alt+Del
	... not Fanboys (part two)
	... not 8-bit Theatre

Rofl, we just did truth tables at my school a couple weeksa ago

Matt @ Oct 28th 2006 2:11PM

Haha, that VG Cats comic is just terrible.

MacAoidh @ Oct 28th 2006 2:26PM

IDIOTS!!! ... no wait... INFIDELS!!!!

You forgot frickin' FoxTrot AGAIN!!! They did a whole week about the "World of Warquest" Beta...

From the other choices... you know you're in trouble when the funniest concern the equally degrading subjects of masturbation and Leeroy Jenkins...

As a side note why do ye always pick the latest of each webcomic. A lot of them had much funnier ones earlier in the week.

-Rant Out

You know what would be nice? If people didn't vote for a comic JUST because it's on a certain site. I'm looking at you fanboys of PA, CAD, and VGCats.

OTOH, how much chance did I really have of that on a site where most of the readers will rabidly defend obviously inane decisions from a gaming company (Sony fanboys, looking at you).

EdZ @ Oct 28th 2006 2:46PM

Why is there a redundant input (Q) in that truth table?

SNK Shill @ Oct 28th 2006 2:48PM

They all suck aside from the first one.

elmer92413 @ Oct 28th 2006 2:50PM

Why the hell would you vote for VG Cats...???!!!
It doesn't even make sense...!!!
Why would she be searching for clues in his office...???!!!
Where is the black light...???!!!
You don't use red glasses for that...!!!
And since when has Blood even remotely been close to SALTY...???!!!
And since when does a bitch not know the taste of semen...???!!!
...
And CAD...???!!!
All he did was take a video game world and mesh it with a NON-funny real world setting...
Freakin' hilarious...!!!
So funny I forgot to laugh...
...
At least PA made me chuckle this time...
...
And Geek Like Me...
w00t Leroy Jenkins reference...!!!
Automatic "funnies"...!!!
...
And 8bit Theater...???!!!
There were UNDERWATER...???!!!
WTF...
8-bit/ch, DA, and F@nboy$ got good laughs out of me...
...
That is all...

Sounds like elmer92413 and wedgetalon are good friends :)

oh and there is a reason why most poeple like VG and CAD , there consistantly good. I did read them all and most of them were funny, but after seeing the DOAE2 video how can CAD not take the win..

@MacAoidh I agree some of the others from earier in the week were very good

LordMinogue @ Oct 28th 2006 3:17PM

VG Cats and CAD are not significantly funnier then the other strips, but they are usually drawn with better tools, with more leveles and more detailed expressions.

A good joke can be ruined if the expressions of the characters isn't accurate.

gok @ Oct 28th 2006 3:23PM

8Bitch sucked soo much :( Vg was stupid but 8bit was just lame.

Count Zero @ Oct 28th 2006 3:27PM

CAD like usual was trash, VG cats... I haven't seen a good one in awhile. I suppose that PS3, Wii one was pretty good.

PA was funny, after the solid comics they've had recently. (It's okay, I'm a dentist) but not number one this week. Actually, all in all I think they were all a bit crap this week.

I'd call it a tie between DA and Fanboys.

Dan @ Oct 28th 2006 4:15PM

CAD had some real gems earlier this week (both the DOAX and Gears of War comics cracked me up), but the linked one is pretty lackluster. Game Boyz and Fanboys were both pretty funny.

Moogle @ Oct 28th 2006 4:34PM

I normally hate CAD, but I felt obligated to vote for it because a burst out laughing at this one.

A lot of the others were quality.

By the way, I recommend everyone go see The Prestige. I dunno if everyone will like it as much as I did, but I thought it was very well done. No, I don't work for any movie company, I just liked it a lot, and mommy taught me to share. :)

WedgeTalon @ Oct 28th 2006 4:36PM

Don't get me wrong, I have CAD and VGCats set in my Mornign Coffee extension (I typically let people link me to the best of PA, as I don't find them funny on a day-to-day); I just get frustrated that people seem to vote for them simply because they have some sort of weird loyalty to them.

Ndric @ Oct 28th 2006 5:01PM

How the hell is VGcats winning?

eip @ Oct 28th 2006 6:41PM

VG Cats is winning because people laugh whenever they see a semen joke.

I think they were all equally disappointing this week.

Nathaniel N. @ Oct 28th 2006 7:28PM

elmer92413 , CAD I thought was quite funny. You mentioned that it meshed a game world with a real world setting. Just thought I'd mention that there's a game (world) called Postal. Which would make sense, mixing the very cheery Viva Pinata with such a gruesome game.

But hey, I laughed.

EdZ @ Oct 28th 2006 7:42PM

VGcats. Partly to piss off the commentors, partly because CSI+anything=hilarity. Heck, CSI on it's own is hilarious.

otakucode @ Oct 28th 2006 7:42PM

MacAoidh: Masturbation is not degrading. The fact some people hide it is pretty funny though.

elmer92413: Blood has always been salty.

Etheo @ Oct 28th 2006 7:55PM

LOL WTF I know Frank Caron... This is pretty surprizing that he continued where Heron (a friend of mine) left off and actually got featured here... I think just for that reason I'm gonna vote for him (throwaway vote).

... was what I was going to say, but Phoenix Wright has me hooked now... then again there's that Metroid one... so hard to decide.

HN @ Oct 28th 2006 9:04PM

Ctrl+Alt+Del is a terrible comic for terrible people.

pasta @ Oct 28th 2006 11:48PM

I didn't get 8Bit Theater's comic. So in fact that should get my vote for not voting. :P

If I was to pick a winner for best web-comic of the week, it would go to Dueling Analogs, since they have the best punchline for a comic. Unfortunately (or fortunately actually, since I would have to chose), you didn't add http://www.cad-comic.com/comic.php?d=20061025 , which was still a pretty awesome comic by CAD last week.

pasta @ Oct 28th 2006 11:49PM

Even though afore-mentioned comic was good, the comic I actually meant was http://www.cad-comic.com/comic.php?d=20061023 :P

elmer92413 @ Oct 29th 2006 1:29AM

Nathaniel N. nobody said Postal was a good and/or funny game...
And I am pretty sure Mr. Buckley wasn't meshing Viva Pinata with Postal the game...
But rather the original phrase, "Going Postal"...
...
otakucode, blood tastes like copper...
If your blood tastes salty you probable have high blood pressure...
And should lay off the extra salt on those fries... ;P

Oh my god. Gameboyz, with the children's books reference. If you give a moose a muffin...oh damn, good times. Wow. Short, simple, and hilarious. How is VG cats doing so well... oh yeah, I forgot, bodily fluids are far funnier than clever allusions and good pacing. Silly me.

MTxertud @ Oct 29th 2006 3:17PM

Actually the Game Boyz strip was referencing If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, an amazing children's book by Laura Numeroff. It was the first in her "If You Give a" series, followed by If You Give a Moose a Muffin. I'm old enough that the one I own was probably in the first printing, I doubt many of you can say that. Also I stopped at If You Give a Moose a Muffin, but I know it goes on after that.
