woah... they all have one vote. swooky.

The_Punisher: May 24th 2008; 8:44PM

they're all....bad....

Demaar: May 24th 2008; 8:52PM

Yes, but some are worse than others.

Demaar: May 24th 2008; 8:51PM

God damn Dual Analogs, keep your thrashing envy at bay, please.

B^U had promise up until the last panel, ugh. Why can't he make a joke, like, EVER?!

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): May 25th 2008; 1:33AM

He ruins his jokes with the massive amounts of dialogue in his comics.

BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392]: May 25th 2008; 3:08AM

General rule of B^U:
It's a lot funnier if you cut out panels 2 and 3. Sometimes panel 4 is all you really need.

Sam406: May 24th 2008; 8:51PM

For some reason I can't pick a winner here.

Either they are all equally good or they all suck equally, I can't seem to decide

TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859): May 24th 2008; 8:52PM

I wonder which one Fernando will vote for?

TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859): May 24th 2008; 9:11PM

Voted for Penny Arcade, but VGCats is a little bit special to me cause I used to play Pokemon until after Emerald(Still have my copy of Pokemon Red!). I'll probably join in next color/mineral generation though.(They've sucked me back in with Online play!)

LaughingTarget: May 24th 2008; 8:56PM

I'm voting for Fat Sonic cause I'm a physics nerd.

mr mobius: May 25th 2008; 11:11AM

Except he confused the term mass and the term momentum.

Chris: May 25th 2008; 3:12PM

Actually, I didn't. It may seem strange and wrong at first glance, but it's what special relativity predicts and it's what happens in reality. However, the effects don't become noticeable unless you are moving at a substantial fraction of light speed, which humans never do (yet).

LaughingTarget: May 25th 2008; 4:24PM

Yup, speed increases, mass increases and relative time slows down.

ApolloIV: May 24th 2008; 8:58PM

Million Dollar Arcade got my vote this week. As a Penny Arcade fan you have to get that feeling sometimes. CAD was really really awful this week though :(.

Demaar: May 24th 2008; 10:18PM

Except that, you know, they may be motivated by things OTHER THAN MONEY. Don't let DA's seething jealousy sway your feelings.

BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392]: May 25th 2008; 3:09AM

Apollo, you say that as if B^U was ever funny...

Neebs: May 24th 2008; 9:16PM

I can't believe I'm only the second person to vote for A Turn of Events.

steve: May 24th 2008; 9:33PM

Honestly, I really didn't like any of these too much. The best one was the "up down up down" charade that really isn't all that funny anymore. (they forgot the "Fatality" part at the end)

To be honest, the best comic this week is the combination of fear and loathing in Las Vegas and Super Mario Bros. for the "Today in Joystiq" post.

Demaar: May 24th 2008; 10:21PM

Which comic are you talking about? Because if you mean Robot Martini, that's not a fatality, that's the Konami code.

JerJer: May 24th 2008; 9:36PM

vgcats is always funny.

thats what you get for a one update a week. it's gotta be gold. and it always is.

Double J: May 24th 2008; 9:48PM

So, what? Is CAD just shitty now or all they going through some sort of funny dry spell? I use to love that shit.

Neuropod: May 24th 2008; 10:48PM

CAD has always been shitty, but this is pretty bad even by shit standards.

Kira: May 24th 2008; 10:57PM

CAD was funny... once. It really lost it about a year ago, but Tim Buckley scores a funny every once in a while.

PA and DA were both great this week, and anyone who labels Dueling Analogs should read the news post, especially if they don't understand the webcomic community.

Ranko: May 24th 2008; 10:57PM

That judge in the CAD comic died from TEXT WALL.

Neebs: May 24th 2008; 11:03PM

died from B^U.

Shignami: May 24th 2008; 11:45PM

The writing is so causticly bad even his own characters are suffering from ill health effects.

TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859): May 24th 2008; 11:21PM

Does anyone know when Super Effective 05 is coming out?
On May 13th, Scott said he'll update on a Thursday...but that's obviously not gonna happen this week(5/18-5/24)

svenhoek: May 25th 2008; 2:16AM

Am I the only one who thought Married to the Sea was god-damned hilarious?

Macroy: May 25th 2008; 2:28AM

"Penny Arcade is the godfather of webcomics. I know other well-known webcomics came before them. But Penny Arcade changed the rules. They took a format that was only seen by few and made it global enterprise (with lots of credit going to Robert Khoo's marketing prowess). The number one webcomic in the world. Largest video game convention in North America. And now their own video game: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. And if this game succeeds it can send the message that webcomics can make profitable premises for video games. Much like PvP and MegaTokyo did for print.

Kudos, Tycho and Gabe. This is definitely an awesome accomplishment."

what part of that says "thrashing envy"? did you even read the post?

Demaar: May 25th 2008; 6:52AM

He changed the news post.

rowd149: May 25th 2008; 7:13PM

@Demaar:
...Don't be an ass.

Kira: May 26th 2008; 12:23AM

@ Demaar

Screenshot or it didn't happen

chez: May 25th 2008; 4:24AM

Another vote for PA, so true! First time I voted for them as well...

ScottyGEE: May 25th 2008; 5:10AM

VGcats for me. Its a humorous representation of the way I think about Pokemon now.

tc: May 25th 2008; 10:41AM

Very lazy PA, even by their standards.

HarDCoRe ManSTuFF tomato STyLE: May 25th 2008; 11:08AM

this one should have been in the line-up

this rules and would be a ok new catch phrase

Mr Khan: May 25th 2008; 11:53AM

I liked Digital Unrest, if only for that sample picture they put with the Turtle with the rocket on its back

Really a weak week overall, though

aristokrat: May 25th 2008; 1:26PM

What does B^U mean exactly? I think I've surmised it has to do with CAD, but for the life of me I can't think of anything?

Donald: May 26th 2008; 11:34AM

It's a representation of the facial expression of every character in the strip.

Also to explain the CAD rule as I understand it:
- Panel 1 stays the same
- Panel 2 and 3 removed
- Panel 4 has text removed

bigd7387: May 25th 2008; 4:39PM

It's a shame not enough people can understand "the Case" comic this week. It's probable one of the better comics that's been released. Oh well, like the Judge dieing of the stupidity of people then I can understand how the comic wouldn't win.

NobleArc, The Lazy Canadian: May 25th 2008; 6:34PM

I totally agree with VGCats on the Pokemon issue. I remember when there were 151, and it was great. Then Gold/Silver came out, and I was crushed. I haven't picked up a Pokemon game (other than Leaf Green/Fire Red) since. =(

Superstar90: May 25th 2008; 10:48PM

ya! change is the devil! new stuff sucks!

navstar: May 26th 2008; 12:39AM

VG Cats is consistently more original and funnier than PA.

El Verde: May 26th 2008; 12:40PM

"D'aaaaaaw" is the best punchline evar

Thanks again for including Sidescroller!
