Haha, that Apple one is pure gold.
"Rapidly Pressing The Button Beneath The Counter"
Pressing a button with what? Maybe he secretly wants it too, but is too shy to say yes, so instead he presses the security button.

The cynical side of me is saying that ain't how it works - but most of me is simply saying, "Awwwwwwwwwww."

I just checked out "The Perfect Gift."
Made me feel all warm and tingly inside.

I do not understand.
The human obviously gave his supposed mate the wrong programming, and yet she still exchanges a sign of approval for it?
Could someone point this out to a fellow autobot?

We humans have a saying: It's the thought that counts.
Of course, Vulcans would say "if it's the thought that counts, why do humans bother with the gift?"

Those are not humans, Optimus, they are felines. I think you may have been improperly programmed on the subject of Earth species.

Well at least they don't go by Decepticon logic and zap laser death rays at its mate be it approval or disappointment over the gift.

Peter Moore only posts periodically, as does Bobby Kotick. Bil Gates got banned, Gabe Newell is another periodic poster, and Tom Kalinske hasn't been on in a while.

I love how the money stack is from Conker's Bad Fur Day

Is it super weird I made a comic based off inFamous 7 months after it came out?
Well, either way: http://alsobagels.com/index.php/comic/jacket-needs-higher-neck/
A bit garrish, I'm afraid.

No
A) "Epic fail" is stupid and you're stupid
B) the comic wasn't funny
C) the art is terrible
D) furries
You literally did not get a single aspect of a humor comic right.

Oh cmon, it wasn't THAT bad. And VG cats uses "furries" and they are (IMO) the best webcomic out there.

Good lord it's not a furry and I'm not a furry. Furries need to be swallowed up by a fiery torment. I draw cartoon characters, "you're stupid" face.
Thanks everyone, my arts fo sho my weak point and I've been desperately attempting to improve it. Thanks for the positive feedback on an otherwise cynical site as this. In the future for myself and others would you mind giving the slightest bit of slack to comics that aren't completely about gaming? Otherwise rename the feature to "Weekly Gaming Webcomics Wrapup"...
Gutsman, I'm not quite sure what comics suit you, but I would suggest, for your own safety, not going near any comics glorifying suicide. 'Cause you'd like them too much.
...Because he has no joy in his heart? Amirite? Amirite? Eh? Up high...

It was the first VG Cats in weeks, of course it won. I liked the Penny Arcade one much more.

"zuckerman" is not a person. and you misspelled "Fallon"
and what the hell is up with "JEW JEW JEW"? the "have you heard this, have you seen this?" is sorta funny but it's also a pretty common Leno joke so.

This is actually funny! Good job! The guys above could learn from this example.
Also the end of Conan tonight is one of the best things I have ever seen on TV, ever. Can't wait until September~
