Readers pick best webcomic: Obligatory

by Griffin McElroy on Oct 16th 2010 3:00AM

We're not sure there's a force on Earth that could have stopped VG Cats' "Obligatory" from taking top honors in last week's Webcomic Wrapup. Not only was it VG Cats' first update in like, a decade, but it also features a rarely executed double Caruso -- a near-impossible maneuver to pull off.

Second and third place went to Penny Arcade's "Full of Twists and Turns" and Virtual Shackles' "Least Objectionable War," respectively. If you've got a strip you'd like to see in the next Wrapup, don't keep it to yourself! Drop a link in the comments of this post, or send in a tip!

Not the one I voted for (Health Hazard if I remember correctly) but I still got a good laugh out of this one last week.

As for nominations, if you pretend it's about Guitar Hero/Rock Band, XKCD had a rather nice one:

Wasn't gonna say anything but, dude, a comic that features a guitar now becomes gh/rb? When did we as a society get there

(by we as a society i sorta mean you)

@Bagels

You know there's a reason I specifically said "if we pretend".

@sonicspike41 We could also pretend that comic was funny, but why bother?

@sonicspike41
Wow was that one of those webcomics that require...brain power?!

I voted for this, VG cats almost never fails :]
I wish he update more often though or at least his Super Effective strip since i doubt it takes too long to make one =p (compared to the normal comic)

Not the one i voted but gotta say it's one of the best VG cats i've seen

F@NB0Y$ took even longer to update than VGCats, you should put that in the wrapup.

@OptimisticCynic

I was going to be mad, as the comic is about a two year plus old game, and wasn't that funny, but then I saw dancing Gabe at the bottom.

You're alright, kid.

Fanboys took even longer than VGCats to update! They should be in next week's WWWU because it's a wonderful comic.
