Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: little big edition

For me, Fanboys wins it with the hammer toss.

I'm torn between N-Europe, RPG-TV, and Fanboys this time. I must meditate on this before I vote.

2P Start for me.

Fanboys all the way.

It's a popularity contest. Either that or most Joystiq readers have horrible taste.

It was down to Fanboys and N-Europe this week, but Fanboys gets a vote from me to maintain its early lead. The last panel wins it all.

pressstarttoplay is funny because it's so ironic. Must have been before the sales numbers started coming in. I'd take record breaking sales thanks to plenty of stock anyday.
My vote goes to duelinganaolgs though, because that's been the playstation boards since that announcement, and the boycott threats are finally starting to get funny rather than just annoying.

I'd say they were all equally good, so N-Europe won because of the Navi/Shahra reference

Deep Blue Sea, they ate me! A fuckin' shark ATE ME!

I wasn't too crazy about the first comic, but the rest seem to be a good selection.

Even though it captured what we all already thought of, FanBoys presented its joke well enough to get my vote.

And now for some self promotion:

Call me crazy on that first one but....don't people normally put juice IN the fridge? That was clearly made by a child.

Pretty good week. PA made me laugh, but disappoints me how many 'automatic' votes it seems to get. Do people really like it THAT much?

I always vote for the one that makes me laugh most.

Joystiq, you forgot vgcats and godmode again.

I had completely forgotten about the Little Nemo movie, but a game?! Ouch.

Also, synce is right in post 5. I am baffled weekly by viewers' taste.

Heh, fanboys gets the vote because me and half of everyone hears sonic vs mario in the olympics and thought, "fat plumber versus speedy hedghog?" Thanks for bringing in some context fanboys....


I WOULD have voted for ctrlaltdelete if theyd put the C&C3 strip in since that was genius.

and mccomber, remember its a great success for sony but that doesnt mean presstartoplay isnt accurate.

i mean what was it, £10,000,000 of cancellations?, I'd say the units would stack up on shelves like that, (I know I saw them do it) Sony made good, but they saturated the market, whereas the competition is in short supply and high demand. hard to compare untill wii's start pilling up 10 mil in unwanted hardware.

Definitely a tough choice this week, but F@NBOY$ got my vote in the end. Their previous comic was also decent. It's nice to see that they're back to better things after the not-so-good 'Paul Gets a Job' arc.

Now if DA's comic from 3.26 was up, that would have gotten my vote instead:

Guess the Microsoft joke went unappreciated. Maybe next time.

unfortunately comic 1 is down with a 509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

@ csc, I completely agree that it is, at least at face value, accurate. It's just funny how the picture it paints of doom and gloom wasn't exactly true once we started seeing actual sales. I'd say Sony's plan of providing enough product, while bold, was sound in the end. Even the french seemed to change their minds after the initial launch no-show; then again, they also hated the Eiffel Tower when it was first built, so maybe they're just fickle.
I think if one were to add a final panel of some guy getting his PS3 from the delivery van it would have been spot-on. A lot of people seemed to choose that route.

WFGN # 11 is up at:

http://madiart.blogspot.com/

it is deticated to anyone who bought a 32x

I thought the "Devil May Cry, but Fanboys Cry Louder," title was more clever and funnier than the comic itself.

My bandwidth reset, so Comic 1 is back up.

Thanks for the views, guys.

Here's my submission, didn't make the cut this week:
