Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is greeting Spring with open arms

Happy first day of Spring, everyone! Let's all take a moment to bid farewell to Winter, unless you live in certain parts of the Midwest, where Winter is apparently still all the rage. While there's nothing inherently wrong with Winter, we feel it lacks the inherent positivity of the current season. Also, Spring's associated with better stuff, such as Spring cleaning, Spring break. Spring rolls, and, of course, Coily the Spring Sprite.

Below are our seven favorite gaming related webcomics from this past week. Check them out, then vote for your favorite after the jump! If we missed out on any notable strips, drop a link in the comments section!

That was hilarious and well-drawn. The 20/20 was pretty good too, but this was a Ludwig-level pun with a Justin bite. Honorable mention!

Thanks to everyone for the support. I'm assuming the comics are chosen at random or something. Well, you win some you lose some. Webcomics are funny one minute and bad the next. I'm just happy to contribute.

Yeah I would've voted for that had it been an option. I also think PA's Pokéwalker comic was much better than the one in the list ( http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/3/17/progenerator/ )

An actually funny MNC? Can it be!!?

I think its the removal of all the main characters that makes it funny!

BitF's most recent one (Boss Tryouts) is funnier than the one we have to vote for...

None of them were funny,

So I voted for Penny Arcade.

You realise you can just abstain from voting right?

vote or die mutha fuc*a!

dunno why some people just blindly vote PA.

"None of them were funny, So I voted for Penny Arcade."

I see that on several posts. doesnt make sense to me. their should be a skip vote button to stop people from muddying the waters

It's habit. PA hasn't been funny for about eight years. Their audience are the online equivelent of the people who religiously read Garfield or Marmaduke. The comics are horrible, but it's turned into a lifestyle.

I usually enjoy Penny Arcade very much. If you don't then that's fine, but don't pretend like you understand the people who actually do.

There would no point of adding a "skip vote" feature. If you don't like any of the ones up there then just don't vote.

I don't understand the compulsive voting.

but i think some people just vote because they want to see who is winning. there is currently no way to see the stats otherwise

Also, this would put a number to all those "none of them were funny this week" comments

Awkward Zombie, just because the transition between the last two panels cracked me up.

Thanks for listing sidescroller! (and more thanks, since I didn't even submit it this week :D )

Did anyone read the words on the Virtual Shackles Scrabble Board? You'll find words like "Quark" and "Fetish" if you do.

Voted for VG Cats, cause I thought it was funny.

I read the comments on these threads to get links to other webcomics from their writers. Where have they all gone??

seriously, I mean theres probably like a new AFJ out there and no one will no about it!

*know
...awkward...

Lol, the iPad one was great. Never even thought of doing something like that, which would be totally stupid, but I guess you could do it.
