Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is unoriginal

... and we don't mean anything stolen from other Joystiq features. We're just a fan of self-referential webcomics and wanted to highlight Scott Dewitt's Fanboys strip from earlier this week. Also making it appropriate, we saw a preview for Disaster Movie last night and wanted to end ourseles to the pain. Here are our picks for the week's best game-related webcomic. Polling after the break; be sure to vote for your favorite!

Just wait till some homebrewer duct-tapes a phone to a DS.

"Just wait till some homebrewer duct-tapes a phone to a DS."

Thank you Jakka, for being one of the few people on these internets who doesn't call it "duck tape."

they make duck tape, i saw it

Someday I think I'd like to make a guest comic for MNC. It'd be easy, since all I'd have to do is reuse a joke that gamers have been telling each other for years and somehow make it even more contrived and stupid

As Joystiq as my witness, I will allow you to send in a guest comic that you have written and, if you'd like, I'll have my artist draw it for you.

Once it's completed, I'll post it up on our site so that your work can be critiqued by the internet masses. You never know, your work may propel us to the top of the poll and you may find out that you have a talent you never realized you had before.

Just so you know, I'm actually not being facetious here either. I've been entertaining the idea of trying a 'mail in script' idea for a while. You can be my very first, and hopefully not last, try at this experiment.

Therefore, if you could send your typed script, or completed JPEG (max 750 pixels wide) to the following email address:

dover@mondaynightcrew.com

Wow, you're not a big jerk.

Brilliant suggestion. Redface, it sounds like you have plenty of material, all those jokes you've been telling your gamer friends for years. Looking forward to your first cartoon. :)

Penny arcade was great this week.

YOUR MOTHER IS A CLASSY LADY!!

YOUR SO RIGHT!!!

Wow, more people visit the site today via this linkage than the rest of the time it's been up combined, AND I unlocked mirror mode in Mario Kart Wii. This is the best day ever!

MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDENMADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN!

Castle Vidcon is so underrated and awesome.

Agreed.

these "spoof" movies are classy as hell...

people actually get paid to write these, too!

Too bad SideScroller didn't make the list this week: http://www.robotmartini.com/community/viewpost/737

think it's actually one of Dan's better ones

iPhone has nothing on the DS. Not funny at all.

Ma-a-a-a-adden to funny!

I'm shocked....I am in utter disbelief.....I actually laughed at CAD ::cringe::

However, I still thought fanboys was better

I voted for Urf, because I wanna be that gamer.

oh Tim B^Uckley will you ever seize to over explain your jokes?

CAD was actually pretty funny. However, Fanboys gets my vote for my love of Peanuts and hatred of that dog from Duck Hunt.

Considering the timeliness of this week's theme, I'd love to see http://www.thenoobcomic.com get some recognition in the next wrapup.

Pay special attention to the hands of the GM.
