Weekly Webcomic Wrapup has vivid dreams

by Ross Miller on Apr 6th 2008 5:30PM

"Wake up, Samus!"

"What is it, Weekly Webcomic Wrapup?"

"I just had the craziest dream. I was in the movie theater with my mom and grandmother and we were trying to decide what to buy tickets for. There were two movies: A Flicker, and one called Ludwig Kietzmann."

"Isn't that your editor?"

"Yeah, but there's nothing weird about dreaming about your superior's name, is there? ... Anyway, so we buy tickets to Flicker, and we walk into the theater -- no bigger than my college dorm room, mind you -- and the screen starts showing BioShock footage. It was an origins of BioShock movie, except instead of splicers the people turned into demons. And the Big Daddy, he was skipping and dancing around like from a 1950s musical!"

"Skipping? Webby, I think you need to stick to your namesake."

A Preview (Penny Arcade)
Wheel of Fate (2P Start)
Nested Ironies (Penny Arcade)
Theory of Evolution (2P Start)
Make it Double (VG Cats)
If buying a car was like Bad Company (Extra Life)
Zero Punctuation, Multiple Puncture Wounds (Dueling Analogs)
Some Restrictions Apply (Digital Unrest)

(Voting after the break.)

Update: Poll is fixed. Given how few votes there are for it right now (approx. one hour since publication time), we're just gonna leave the current count for 2P Start.

Hey, it's my desktop background.

On topic: As a former pokemon fan back in the good old Red and Blue days, my vote would have to go to Vgcats.

HAX!
There's a problem in the voting menu, 2pStart and Vgcats are on the same button, and lord knows I'm not giving my internet vote to 2pStart

Also, in answer to your question: No it is not wrong to dream about movies named after Ludwig

VG-Cats = teh arsesome. But Scott really gets a billion bonus points for using a Japanese onomatopoeia reference! Also, regarding Dueling Analogs, I find it strange to make a funny out of a funny-maker.

There's no selection thingie for the VG Cats comic; it's decided to cuddle up with the Theory of Evolution comic.

Bitch be trippin balls!

This didn't make the list, but in case anyone wants to have a look-see at Scout Rush's comic while they're at it...

The poll is messed up. There's no option for "Make it double".

VG Cats. That is something I always thought back in the day too. Pikachu's are everywhere why not just catch your own? lol.

Here's a vote for VG Cats once it gets seperated from 2P start.

That image is seriously cool.

Joystiq failed at polling: why can't we have our old system already?

Extra Life is win.

How can't you love the VG Cats' comic? It is so true.

Oh and thats awesome someone made a ZP comic :D

(Sorry for Double Post)
Um...
2P Start has 52% and VG Cats has 5%
(No hating on 2P Start...it just is more acclaimed in the comments D:)

Seriously joystiq? No lovin?

http://www.theninjaken.com/comic/2008/03/26/how-mario-got-to-be-the-hero

Well it amuses me.

If I were you, I would've actually drawn in a bulge rather than copy/paste the original image and then MS Paint in a bulge. Also that joke was not what I was expecting, I was expecting Mario to grow big from the mushroom and then beat the shit out of Luigi.

I like the Extra Life one. Everything I hate about DLC.

I havn't found the comics too "laugh-out-loud" funny these days.

Luckily, the 6th panel of VG Cats renewed my tendency to guffaw ten fold!

I agree. The last panel did it in for me. Too funny!

I call shenanigans

The fourth option will probably win, because both of those comics are good, and people voting for one or the other vote for both

But i liked Sonic & the Wheel of Fate

Was Buckley doing Dueling analogs this week?

Sure seems like it.

My dyslexia (not really dyslexia, just a tendency to notice key letter combos rather than whole words) keeps registering your name as Shinigami

Was that deliberate?

Yes, the misspelling is deliberate.

long story short, i fucked up bad one day and ended up liking "Shignami" better.

It worked well for a while until Bleach (followed by Death Note) became popular.

I really liked how I drew it the first time around and didn't feel like trying to re-do it well. Although I do agree that the MS-Painting is weak...

there's always next time eh?

Zero Punctuation or Pokemon? Choices! Damn! I like the ZP reference and no one ever does it, but that Pokemon is absolutely brilliant.

Also Cubetoons (find it at IGN) had a decent SSBB based comic this week.

Vagee Cats voted for have been

All suck this week.

Oh poo poo, I couldn't pick one unfunny comic to deem funny enough to vote for.

If you don't find VGCats funny, then you have no sense of humor.

I can't see that first Penny arcade comic :(

As a Sega fanboy that first 2P start comic in the list sucked bawls, as a normal guy the werewolf thing is nothing new and as a Nintendo fanboy I think is a great concept who cares if they rip it off from Twilight Princess.

The next penny arcade comic was nothing especial considering that there are better Team Fortress 2 webcomics.

2PStart evolution comic wasn't exactly funny but it makes a great PSP Wallpaper.

Vgcats is just plain awesome and my second favorite. Why the CAD parody isn’t in the list?

Extra life and DU well they were good. I can’t believe I’m saying this but Dueling Analogs just won one free internet for the ZP comic.

Even though it's a parody of CAD, it was just as unfunny as CAD itself. Which is why it was excluded. :P

P.S.
If you look at the inside of the wheel, you can see some logos from other games.

-Will BPM & Zelderman add me?

The Digital Unrest comic speaks the truth. If I'm going through the effort of inputting a 12-16 digit code, I should at least be able to have voice chat with them.

Here's our non-game related webcomic this week:

http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/comic.html

That last panel of "Make it Double" always gets me.

Why is a VGCats comic from two weeks ago (Monday, March 24) appearing in the WEEKLY webcomic wrapup for the week of March 31-April 6?

Because it's Really Fucking Funny and they forgot to include it last week?

Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn!
Tell us the lesson that we should learn!

Oh wait, wrong wheel. Or is it?

WINS.

VG Cats because I laughed fucking hard. That's some funny shit right there.

damn...that wallpaper is so freaking awesome...mind if i snag it?

The extralife one just isn't that funny: it's just stating the obvious in a not very clever or ironic way. The past 3 Extra life comics were much better in my opinion. The Penny Arcade comics both aren't that great either (and I'm usually a huge Penny Arcade fan). My vote goes to VG Cats, mostly because I thought the same thing back when I was a kid watching that awful show. The DA and DU comics made me laugh though.

Umm, i dunno if this has been said or not, but I dont think they ever announced the winners from the last wrapup, which was 2 weeks ago.

Oh man, a stack of good ones this week. Gonna have to go with the Nintendo bashing, though. I haven't touched my Wii in ages...

http://www.game-lad.com/?p=7

There's a new guy on the scene.

I loved the 2P Start evolution one. Odd drawing of Bonk though.

This was my best one of last week:

Don't forget to post the winners this time.
