Readers pick best webcomic: Let's search for tre-sha!

by Ross Miller on Nov 12th 2008 7:15PM

As in, "treasure," only with a thick accent. Scott Ramsoomair always seems to have the magic touch; once again, his VG Cats strip claims the top spot of this week's webcomic wrapup. Out of all the things our Fable 2 dog has discovered in the grounds of Albion, this makes a lot more sense than, say, a shiny hat.

Second and third place go to Tough Times (Luke Surl Comics) and Fixing an Election (2P Start). Thanks to everyone who voted, as well as for all the logos (and your opinion/critiques thereof). Be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

I like Jarod Trebas' logo the most.

Me too! ^_^

The Gears of War 2 Ctrl-Alt-Del is very funny.

*applause*

Not really...

VGCats - always funny, never updated.

I still don't find it funny.

It illustrates something amusing that happens in Fable 2 with an anthropomorphic cat and a dog.

I understand the concept of observational comedy, but simply retelling an amusing event doesn't make it laugh-worthy.

I have never and likely will never understand VGCats' appeal.

Perhaps...

My wife and I have been poking fun at the thick British accent in Fable for the past week... I hear non stop "Com on lil' brove-ah!" from her.

Which brings me back to the observation of... How in the he11 is it that American's are the one that have "butchered the English language". Yes, yes. I know how old the language is versus the age of America, but who puts a "V" in brother?

Oh well.. I'm off to search for Tre-sha with my bruv-ah.

It's because no English person actually talks like that. That's just what Americans *think* we talk like.

Linkario, there are far more accents in Britain than the one you mention. In fact, Fable II presents a good few of them.

It's okay... we (Americans) all talk like George Bush. Redneck with a strong dosage of f&$*tard!

Attention all English people:
Pronounce aluminum

For the record, I'm half english, father born in london. we give him crap all the time for the way he pronounces certain things, vitamins, garage and many more

Shmil: Ah-loo-min-um?

A quick Wikipedia search revealed that aluminum is actually an accepted spelling. And there was me thinking Americans couldn't pronounce the "I" in aluminium. The more you know.

Still, it's nice to know that aluminium is more prevalent.

Chris you win the prize. Not because of your American pronunciation of the word, but because of your space ghost avatar.

Americans do a pretty good job of butchering the English language too

I feel like I tell this historic tidbit twice a year. The Brits are to blame for aluminum. They had a typo in a science journal that was sent to the US. They left out the second I. And the rest is history.

I have my British accent poked fun at all the time, not least by my fellow countrymen.
(also: "al-yoo-min-ee-um", "ga-rahj" etc.)
As far as I'm concerned, the nature of language means it's not so much butchered as "adapted".

As a side note, the original name suggested by the discoverer of a certain metal with a disputed name was alumium.

Be careful while looking for tre-sha, you might bump into Scott, he's a dick!

I like El Verde's

i enjoyed the winner

My first impression of 'tre-sha' was from Terrence & Philip (South Park)

Morgon? Like Morgon from the Omegathon? What's up bud?! Small world eh? Shoot me an email sometime, we gotta get ready for Left 4 Dead. Imagine that in next years Omegathon. :)

Oh yeah, here's a strip for next week's poll:

http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/issues/comic_0071.html

Terrance and Phillip are Canadian, as is Scott Ramalamadingdong (like hell i'm scrolling up to see how to spell it)
Also I thought that too, mostly because of the Terrance and Phillip special that aired on april fools. Best. Joke. Ever.

I didn't get the comic at all, but realizing now that it's Fable-related makes much more sense, since I haven't played it.

You can find/purchase condoms in the game so that you are able to have safe sex with your spouse or prostitute. Your dog will alert you if there's buried tre-sha near by and point it out to you. I too have found a condom buried in the ground.

The VG Cats was pretty good last week even though I didn't know what game it was from at first.

Here's a comic for next week:

Good Job

It's not making fun of a hot topic, all the same, this week's sidescroller is good :)
