Weekly Webcomic Wrapup will miss you, Conan

Though we know the gargantuan, scarlet-coiffured late night host ... err, former late night host will soon find new (and hopefully more stable) employment, we're going to miss him profoundly. Not only did he provide us with regular belly-laughs, he also began frequently poking fun at video games during sketches on The Tonight Show. In that sense, we've not only lost a great entertainer -- we've lost a brother in arms.

Cheer yourself up after that depressing assertion by checking out our seven favorite gaming-centric comics from the past week, which we've posted below. Vote for your favorite after the jump, and let us know what strips we may have missed out on in the comments!

Contagious (Brawl in the Family)
Bayonetta (Another Videogame Webcomic)
Sounds Dark (SideScrollers)
Tortoises and Hares (2P Start)
No One Likes Superman (Virtual Shackles)
Divine Comedy (Pondering the Obvious)
Hardly What I'd Call Conviction (Monday Night Crew)

brawl in the family is my vote.

me too, that was funny and timeless.. the superman one was a little too late but good enough for second place.

"[W]e've not only lost a great entertainer..."

He's not dead.

i hope LaBamba and Max Weinberg follow Conan where ever he goes. Nothing is funnier than a good joke about Max being a pervert and LaBamba being confused.

Stop trying to hide from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, Joystiq. The truth can't be silenced.

i think my eyes just threw up

That was terrible. Am I not smart enough to get it?

wow, My eyes are hating me so much at this moment.

Best webcomics ever.

Mind letting us know what the morkelshmirt the wagglesmacks are trying to accomplish spamming their link?

Dammit!! Someone laced my drink with acid again!!

that was almost as bad as assfuck jamboree
almost

If that's the truth....then I guess Jack Nicholson was right all along. I can't handle the truth.

holy fuck.

is this like a comic from the future?

Still the best webcomic ever made.

i have created a tribute to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff

Jack Nicholson was the puppet... Aaron Sorkin was the puppetmaster. #comebacktotvaaronsorkin

I know hash tags don't work here... but my twitter campaign hasn't been gaining any traction.

I too made a tribute

lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

I actually clicked the report button instead of the downvote button. No one should even be able to accidently click on that link! I'd rather have a donkey kick my eye sockets.

Its so bad man. I went back and read all 11 of the Sweetbro and Hellajeffs and believe me its not like it makes the strip linked make any more sense. I admit the blue guy is funny looking, but the humor itself is just lost on me.

You guys all need to go to http://www.mspaintadventures.com right now and edumacate yourselves.

Mspaintadventures isn't that great. In fact it's pretty boring. And seriously, if you don't get the humor of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff you've got shit for brains. It's really not that hard to figure out.

That comic looks like a horrible offspring of the 1980s, please kill it with fire!

Is this comic made by a crazy person?

His show was epic. He had an awesome week too, Tarantino, Scorcese, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller. Im gonna miss that show.

On topic: Brawl on the Family is my vote.

don't forget Norm MacDonald, the Greatest Living Comedian.

Right, lol, the fruit basket and the "Congrats" card. I rofled there.

How in the hell did you miss Robin Williams and Tom Hanks? They were infinitely funnier than Will Ferrell.

lol i forgot to say "Just to name a few" in my first topic. Robin william's song was epic, and tom hanks was hillarious both times he appeared in the show.

I also forgot to add mister Steve Carrell.-

Will Ferrell's Cowbell was a perfect ending to O'Briens cycle. I'll miss you Coco.

I'M WITH COCO!!
Also, virtual shackles because...fuck that guy

Also voted Virtual Shackles, because Superman is a huge dick. Batman doesn't pull nearly enough shit with him to keep him in his place.

hey man, cut me some slack

Seriously, Wayne. You've got a ton of money. Buy some Kryptonite and send it FedEx to the Hall of Justice.

He'd X-ray vision the package.

No, the trick is just to get a lead box, tell him there's a kitten or something trapped inside, he'll never see it coming. Just make sure you stab him once he's down, he tends to pull the Shatner type dramatic recovery if you leave him to his own devices.

Or find Doomsday. Whatever works.

It was probably the best of the lot, but why didn't they pick Cupcake of the Colossus? http://www.virtualshackles.com/79/

You guys seem to forget that one of Superman's weaknesses is Batman's punches. Hell, just being near Batman brings Superman back down to the realm of mortal men, so Batman can do something like convincing Superman to knock off the Santa Claus act, just to dress up as Santa and give away presents to kids himself and then take a punch from Superman in front of the kids just to show them what a massive douche he is.

:( The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien will be missed

I hope some other network picks him up and makes NBC regret that they lost someone great

I was lucky enough to actually be in the audience before his time ran out

Did he sing the lyrics to the ending theme like he did on one of these last few episodes? Cause that owned, and I hear he does it after every taping.

Fox is probably going to pick him up. They've been dying for a late night show for years.

I don't recall him singing anything (saw him on... January 12, 2010)

But he did do a crazy microphone twirl after the show and tossed it to the sound guy which was pretty awesome

He also talked to a few people shook some hands and high fived a few people afterwards

http://www.hulu.com/watch/122336/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-thu-jan-21-2010

Just skip to the end of the episode for the song. Unless you already know what I'm talking about vOv

He sang after Late Night, not the Tonight Show, Reagan

you freakin idiot

2P Start. A bit late, but that story needed to be told.

I loved Andy and Conan's ability to go back and forth.

That's why Andy is going to be the host of a great new show on Animal Planet and Coco gets to be the co-host! ;)

The kitty Corner !!

No love for Of Noobs and Men? Even when it references specifically what you're talking about?

Oh well.
