Weekly Webcomic Wrapup's cup runneth over

The gaming webcomic community really brought their A-Game this week. When given the choice of "going big" or "going home," they clearly chose the former. You could say they went to town. You might even say they went to town in a Lincoln. In recognition of their efforts, we decided to break our weekly cap of seven strips, bumping the total up to a nice, round 10. We hope you don't mind the extra reading.

Set some time aside to check out our 10 favorite webcomics from the past week, listed below. Don't forget to factor in a bit of extra time to vote in the poll. Given the surplus, it'll probably take you a bit longer to deliberate. Don't give up! We thrive on your democratic input.

Yes. I post here often. Mostly to defend my shitty puns, which to me are comic dynamite. (More to come)

My comic is not for everyone, but luckily for me genital explosions are truly universal crowd pleasers.

But seriously, guys, without the tempering cauldron of 'net-hate every time I'm put out there, I wouldn't have the calloused soul to continue trying. So even if PA pulls a win out this week, I appreciate the positive vibes, guys, and thank everyone who votes for me and comments about the comic.

Sincere thanks all around.

Yours was good, I voted for someone else.

(does that sum up the internet?)

Hard to choose between PVP, PA and Dipswitch. Upside down peeing Batman wins it, though.

It's like they have a theme or something.

Penny Arcade, simply for the line about Beavers loving to eat wood.

For your information, the last time Robin was blown up for laughs was in the late 80s, and it was hilarious then.

So there.

Don't mind Bowser. It's a well-known fact that Dragons are cranky and negative on pretty much a constant basis. Especially ones named after drunken Russian murderers.

Agreed. You can't win that way, so the punchline has no weight.

I went with MNC solely for the "Kanye West of the video game world" joke. That got the largest smile out of me of the group. That said, this was the funniest Robot Martini I've ever seen in that it's the only one I've found remotely funny.

I went with Sidescrollers this week mostly because I've been bashed over the head with how great Nathan Fillion is suppose to be, so the punchline had more weight with me. Nathan is good and all, but he's not the second coming of Christ.

Let's face it, sometimes we can't help but to feel bad for the adults who don't understand video games, it must look bad from their perspective.

I sorta get it.. kinda tame... Maybe it would have been better without words but use facial expressions and sound effects.
