Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is under new management

That's right, Internet! There's been a changing of the guard, and things are going to be a little different around here. First off? No more webcomics. From now on, the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is going to be about garden supply stores we've visited over the last week, and how well their fertilizer stacks up against the stuff we make ourselves. We'll also be covering unique and inventive irrigation solutions, as well as pictures of tubers that look like famous people.

Psych. You should have seen the looks on your faces. Our seven favorite webcomics from this last week will always be right below, and you will always be able to vote for your favorite in the poll that we've lovingly tucked away after the jump.

Doubt (GG-Guys)
The Illusive Tali (Virtual Shackles)
Bricks (Brawl in the Family)
Savage New Brutals (Penny Arcade)
Nonplussed (My Extra Life)
Mushroom Kingdom (Awkward Zombie)
T-REX YOU TALK LIKE YOU'VE NEVER GONE FOR 100% COMPLETION (Dinosaur Comics)

DINOSAUR COMICSSSSSSSSSSS
WHO CARES THAT IT'S FROM MAY
ITS DINOSAUR COMICS GUYSSSSSSS

@beanninja

Yeah, if Modern Warfare 2 was more like this comic, then I would have bought it.

@beanninja this.

Actually lol'ed at BitF. So, it got my vote.

That's a first for them.

Please, Jordan, no more BitF or AZ. New management means making the tough decisions.

@WAldenIV

This guy gets it.

Disagree, if anything they could stand to add a comic or two. They're generally so across the board quality wise anyway that I really don't believe in addition by subtraction here. I dig BitF. Art style is great, and I think often enough its a little cute/funny enough for me to enjoy it.

@WAldenIV

You do realize comedy is subjective, right?

@WAldenIV

Firstly Awkward Zombies and Brawl in the Family are two of the best webcomics in opinion.

Secondly at least they finally got rid of No Cash Value.

@Qehb Awkward Zombie is the worst webcomic I've ever read, and the art is shit, too.

@Tez

Worse than this?

@WAldenIV
Up yours buddy, Awkward Zombie stays.
Never been much of a BitF fan though

I personally liked BitF's ealier comic this week

@Ramen of Doom
I personally liked Sova. Just sayin'
http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/07/05/347-sova/

For the love of whatever deity you may or may not pray to please add http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/ to the list. It's better than the crap we're usually stuck with.

You're pretty negative, Goobs. But I understand the sentiment. Although, I didn't think Portal cake jokes are still amusing? They remind me of the feeling I get when some a$s comments with a stupid lmgtfy link. Not. Remotely. Funny. I personally can't stand PA whatsoever and think it's always garbage. I really, really loathed that horifically and godawful MGS sold strip that was super long.

Brawl in the fam for me, though I really liked the dinosaur comic.

Well, I've certainly come across some great things at home and garden shows. I've noticed gardening is often a mysterious process, as well has being very much a chore and a glory. Something that worked last year may not work this season, and a plant that was thriving may suddenly take a turn towards death for no particular reason you can discern (like my Nuttall's Oak last year). Those sorts of frustrations are never discussed in beginner books. So I like the format for those blog posts, keep it up, Jordan! Think it'll be a lot better than a certain other format change........HEYOOOOO

Also, please subscribe to my blog greenthumbofdeath.blogspot.com. I did a great review recently of my experiences with the garden claw.

Well that's weird, with the unverified thing. I went with Extra Life since I think someone calling somebody an a$s is always amusing.

Pet Peeve: "Nonplussed" does not mean "unimpressed." "Nonplussed" means "surprised and confused to the point of being unable to react."

If you want to say "unimpressed" you should say "unimpressed". Nonplussed is just a more formal way of saying "gobsmacked."

@PossibleCabbage

I think the joke here is that HuluPlus and Playstation Network Plus were criticizing Google+ for being added to the "Plus" name of products.

Wow, not really any good ones this week are there? And wow at the dinosaur comics, almost 9 years when you look at the archive and this person has never changed the crudely drawn dinosaurs, always the exact same thing aside from the text. That has got to be the laziest comic I've seen in my life albeit still the best there if I had to pick one.

@aea0a095 Not the laziest, the fact that the pictures are the same is a part of what makes the comic so great. And the fact that the cartoonist can come up with all of these hilarious comics on a daily basis is remarkable.

@aea0a095 You're new to the internet, aren't ya? I can tell.
...
Because you don't know about dinosaur comics.

Let me explain Dinosaur Comics to you.

There is no one person doing Dinosaur Comics. Anyone can do one. The site is open to everyone. You make a comic, pick from a set of clipart all featuring the same dinosaurs, arrange them how you like, and fill in text.

There have been some really funny ones. You must be really young or new to the internet to have never come across them before. The site is older than hell.

@Drakkenfyre

Really young or new to the internet? Because I have never heard of a single site out of a nearly unlimited amout? Wow, your logic is amazing. I've been around since before the internet was even public. And I still stand by what I said, it's lazy, I skimmed through about 50 pages and they're all the same thing with different text. No different than someone's blog.

"Bricks" because it sounds like the setup for another Mario and Luigi RPG only with a shot of dark humor.

Really trips me out that Dinosaur Comics uses the exact same panels for every comic, but it's still amusing.

Slim pickings this week...

Soo... the Penny Arcade one is just a promotion for this thing that one of the guys is doing? Cooooool...? Um..... Lol? ...um..

I don't even think I cracked a smile this week...

@A Sandwich
consider a sandwich meet

I'm just not fond of any of this week's comics, and wish they'd put a link out to Critical Miss, even though it is on a competing site of sorts. This Friday's was a great nerd-splosion of characters.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/critical-miss/9010-Critical-Miss-Stowaways-Smash

Stop complaining about the line-up!

There's no need to anymore! NCV is gone.

Brawl in the Family, moreso because it led me to the older SMB Peach Escape comic

I miss VG cats. There comic were awsome.

You're both wrong. There actually is one person writing all the comics, his name is Ryan North.
And really? Dinosaur Comics is one of the most popular comics on the Internet. It's actually surprising that you haven't heard of it. And would you really call using the same format, but with different text, lazy? The author is making these comics on a dailiy basis, and each of them is hilarious and unique. The fact that he could come up with all the ideas, even with a limited way to actually convey them, is in fact, the complete opposite of lazy.

NEW VG CATS! WE HAVE A WINNER FOR NEXT WEEK!

@GooberMagoo No matter how badly Scott Ramsoomair phones it in, everyone's just happy they have a message on their voice mail.

I don't think I've ever seen Penny Arcade with so little of the vote. That's good since it really wasn't that good this week. It was a bit of a toss-up today, so...Awkward Zombie.

What about Aikonia? It's also illustrated by Katie Tiedrich (Awkward Zombie)!
