Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: Stink-O Man edition
by Ross Miller 
{ Oct 13th 2007 at 4:55PM }
One of the latest Strong Bad e-maiils tackles webcomics. When a formulaic webisodic pokes fun at the formulaic state of game-related webcomics, who wins? No one, we all die a little on the inside (so says the author of a formulaic weekly feature, but I digress).We actually got a kick out of the episode; however, we more enjoyed the hidden link that takes you to a do-it-yourself pixel comic creator. Show us your best creation in the comments below. And while you're at it, check out our picks for the week's best gaming comics - be sure to vote for your favorite!
[Thanks, Dan]

The second pwns simply because it was posted, like, 5 days before the announcement was made.
Neebs @ Oct 13th 2007 5:28PM
SO about half the Internets pwns now? They made the prediction months ago.

HaHa the first one about NeoGeo and Sonic & Mario is hilarious.
Neebs @ Oct 13th 2007 5:31PM
Slackerz today. Maybe if the PA was more about Portal than women's bathroom jokes, it would have won.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Oct 15th 2007 10:37AM
yeah, PA could have easily been a single panel cartoon and been just as funny. The final panel detracts from the real humor.
LaughingTarget @ Oct 13th 2007 5:34PM
DA this week is my vote.
LaughingTarget @ Oct 13th 2007 9:05PM
I probably need to clarify this. Not the retarded screen-cap that shouldn't even be classified as a comic but the remarkably entertaining Lego Batman one.
waynski1457 @ Oct 13th 2007 5:39PM
i would have voted slackers, but the sadness meter and favorite colors in the Wiimo comic had me rolling.
Metal_Link @ Oct 13th 2007 5:50PM
This week's comics are too good, I can't make up my mind! >_
Phillip @ Oct 13th 2007 6:48PM
I know. It's a terrible thing.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 13th 2007 9:16PM
I'm intentionally abstaining for the first time this week. For me it's a tie between the Portals joke, the stylus-chasing joke, and the Magic 8-Ball joke.
Frank Tinsley @ Oct 13th 2007 6:13PM
I made a Stinkoman comic. http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3453/picture1pa4.png

Slackerz was brilliant
He just has to chase that stylus, everywhere he goes
Triforceowner @ Oct 13th 2007 6:55PM
OMG Slackers wins by a million. RGP-TV fails.
GRANTED @ Oct 15th 2007 10:04AM
rpgtv is horribly, terribly bad. he should give up, nothing about it is funny or artistic
WiNG @ Oct 13th 2007 9:07PM
I gotta say this was teh best week overall in a long time. Almost all of these were awesome. I liked RPG TV the most, even though I never played Halo.
Durandel @ Oct 13th 2007 9:31PM
Lots of good ones this week. Awkward Zombie was good too, but since it immediately followed Slackerz (LOL), it's not getting many votes.
And I saw and loved that sbemail :D
blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring) @ Oct 13th 2007 10:06PM
LEGO BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was the best one :)
PA was 2nd best
it-hobbit @ Oct 13th 2007 11:32PM
Overall the Stylus one was my favorite, lots of very good choices and the screencap that should not be...
Anyway, it was a good laugh
Tulang @ Oct 14th 2007 12:25AM
Looks like someone at DA didn't get the joke. (first comic)
Any case, my vote went to PA. The concept of an infinite slide is awesome.

Penny Arcade wins. Every other comic should be terribly ashamed of themselves. They're called webcomics because they're supposed to be FUNNY.
Hell, given the option, I'd vote for the SB Email. The videogame related joke in there about cooking is funnier than everything else in all the other "contestants" for the week combined.
Give us the "None of the Above" option.
blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring) @ Oct 14th 2007 10:35AM
the batman one was funnny too...
LaughingTarget @ Oct 14th 2007 11:20AM
The PA one shows they are running out of steam. The first pane should have been the whole joke (it was the funny part), but it was ruined by the unnecessary explanation and bathroom humor. Never put the punchline before the setup.
Phillip @ Oct 14th 2007 11:40AM
You're being sarcastic, right? I don't remember the last time I've seen so many funny comics.
Tim @ Oct 15th 2007 9:14AM
I'd like to know what you're smoking...while it was kind of humorous, PA paled in comparison to several others this week. I agree with the other guy, it could have done without the added comment at the end, but it still wouldn't have been as funny as a couple others.
Last week it was almost impossible to make up my mind because none of them were really funny. This week it's almost impossible to make up my mind because most of them are *very* funny. The three best are Lego Batman, Link's pen-following obsession & Wiimo, but I think I gotta go with Wiimo in a slight edge over the rest. It not only is hilarious but it's the most original/creative of the entire slate this week.

I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PEN.
J-Guy @ Oct 14th 2007 12:30PM
Voted Slackerz. Lego Batman and PA were tied for second.
Joe S @ Oct 15th 2007 8:25AM
I created this stinkoman webcomic:

Haha, Strong Bad e-mails are so fun to read!
Also, picked Slackerz this week, though I found Roosterteeth's comic funner to read than last week's(which I found a little boring, but understood it), but the Slackerz one made me laugh even more because of the hilarious intro and the end.
BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad) @ Oct 15th 2007 5:03AM
