Penny Arcade was as great as ever, while CAD was even worse than usual.

CAD was deserving of the win this week, but I thought PA was still the best. The next poll will probably be imbued with Halo love and our site is will be no different. Check it out:

It makes more sense if you saw the final round of the Omegathon at PAX. Enjoy!

it was clever AND the joke has a broader appeal to all such note passing.
PA is usually great, and the comic was funny but there was no joke. It was just a picture, then a circle around one character while the narrator curses at you. wow that's a hard comic to write.
I could write the EXACT same comic, except in Guild Wars saying KILL THE FRIGGIN MONK FIRST
I could write the same comic except in Sonic 2 saying DESTROY THE FLOATING PLATFORMS FIRST, ASSHAT
you see? Theres no joke. The joke is "most people don't realize strategy X"

CAD was by far the funniest, and I don't see how you can even compare it to PA's entry in terms of sheer humor. For the life of me, I'll never understand this mindless zombie following PA gets. Sure, they're hilarious sometimes, but nowhere near as often as the voting tends to skew. Whenever I've voted I always vote purely off the humor involved, not out of 'fanboy devotion' to any one particular strip.

Hm... I didn't find last week's entry for PA all that funny. Wasn't bad, but wasn't the best, either.
Personally, I had voted for Hijinks Ensue. But seeing as how it isn't one of the major comics (PA, VGCats, or CAD, etc.), that makes it near impossible to win, right?

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a upcoming game for PC, PS2, 360, Wii, DS, and PSP.
The comic plays off of how students would pass notes between each other in class.

Well maybe I'm wrong but if you look at the paper it says circle one:Friend or Foe?,Venom circle "or".
Is kinda like the "Find X" joke,He circle "or" since the paper said circle one not circle the option "friend" or the option "Foe".

@Neebs:
Yeah, CAD focuses on its own characters more...and its own characters are funny. He normally doesn't need to go outside the CAD universe to be funny, which shows his gift and talent. If you haven't actually taken the time to have read it over the years and be familiar with the characters though, I suppose I could see why you wouldn't think they're funny somehow. It's how most comic strips through the years have been done though, they're thematic with a set of familiar characters. Constant random errata shot from the dark can certainly be funny too, but the potential for humor isn't as easy nor as frequent.

CAD is only funny to people with shitty senses of humor.
This particular strip received a glorious makeover over at /co/ on 4Chan. The usual method is "Remove the 2nd and 3rd panels from Fuckley's strips to make them funny," but I find even that usually fails.
The strip is anti-humor.

Hey Ross, I don't know if Joystiq will have a Halo Themed Webcomic Roundup, but Slackerz would like to be a part of it.

I made a Halo 3 comic this week, too, in case you're doing a Halo wrapup.
