Weekly Webcomic Wrapup celebrates Murray

by Ross Miller @ on Nov 30th 2008 10:00PM

On occasion, we try to include game-related webcomics in the wrapup that touch on sentimentality instead of humor. Those typically go over about as well as premium DLC of a video tutorial on wearing horse armor. So instead of throwing it into the poll, we just wanted to take a moment to highlight this week's Penny Arcade strip "In Memoriam." It was also recently (as of November 18) the comic's 10 year anniversary, so congratulations to Mike (Gabe) and Jerry (Tycho).

Although we're a little overstuffed compared to last time, we did take two weeks to hibernate so it's our right as a webcomic wrapup to break the new, self-imposed "seven contenders per week" rule. Just this once.

Games in Proteins (Digital Unrest)
Theft of the Magi (XKCD)
Crossover (CAD Comic)
Cooking Mama: Thanksgiving Day Massacre (MNC)
Red, the Color of Seduction (Indoor Heroes)
A Frightening Concoction (Robot Martini)*
From Dawn Till Dusk (2P Start)
The Truth is the New Lie (Penny Arcade)
Shattrath is a Ghost Town (Extra Life)
The New Flesh (Dipswitch)

* For those who don't get subtlety.
