Readers pick best webcomic: Assassin's Edge
Is climbing Italy's tallest structures a little too easy in Assassin's Creed 2? We don't think so -- but when viewed through the bright red filter of Mirror's Edge, which required a sequence of forty button presses to open a door, we can understand why you'd think that. Poor Faith's skyscraper scaling envy was the subject of last week's Webcomic Wrapup winner, "Assassin's Edge," from Virtual Shackles. Congratulations!
Second and third place went to Penny Arcade's "Witchblades" and newcomer It's-a-Me's "Thank You," respectively. If you've got a favorite webcomic from this past week you'd like to see in today's revue, drop a link in the comments, or send in a tip!

Webcomic Holiday Postcard Fundraiser returns for 2009
The internet has become the de facto way to send send half-hearted holiday greetings, but why not class it up this year? Why not buy some cards from the Webcomic Holiday Postcard Fundraiser, the perfect way to say "I acknowledge you have not yet died, but I'm certainly not going to buy you anything."
Not only will the money go to help Child's Play, but most of the cards (illustrated by webcomic artists like Scott Ramsoomair of VGCats fame) are so pretty the recipient may feel like they've gotten a gift and will, in turn, feel obligated to get you something. And that, friends, is what Christmas is all about.

Readers pick best webcomic: SkiFree
Long-running webcomic xkcd is at its best when it manages to combine humor, philosophy and references to old, old Windows games into a single strip. This much is clear when reading "SkiFree," the winner of last week's Webcomic Wrapup. Not only does it make its reader laugh while contemplating the harsh reality of death, but it also inspires them to find a copy of SkiFree on the internet, which they can spend the next five hours playing. (Oh, hey. There's one right now!)
Second and third place went Nerf Now's "Super Blue Toad Bros." and Penny Arcade's "Delicioso," respectively. If you've got a favorite gaming-related strip from this week you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, make sure you drop a link to it in the comments, or send in a tip!

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is falling behind
Oh, man! We knew we forgot to do something yesterday! In the midst of our holiday spending spree, we forgot to post the winner of last week's Wrapup! Here's a shocker: First place went to Brawl in the Family's music-infused "Ode to Minions," which garnered a simply preposterous 1,357 votes. Second and third place went to Virtual Shackles' "Pokemon Green," and Penny Arcade's "Grim," respectively. A belated congratulations to all our winners!

Readers pick best webcomic: Cold, Cold Mountain
We don't ... we're not really ... alright, look. We've got to finish this post quick, because the above image is making us sad to look at.

Readers pick best webcomic: The Price of Loyalty
Everyone knows that a dog is a man's best friend -- far fewer people know that a dog's best friend is cold, hard cash. "A man" isn't even on the dog's top five best friends, which are, in order: Cash, kibble, old socks, the sound kibble makes when it's applied to a food bowl, and fine cigars. To obtain these items, dogs won't hesitate to stealthily rob their owners -- a fact Penny Arcade recently highlighted in last week's Wrapup winner, "The Price of Loyalty." Don't forget: Your canine companion in Torchlight is as cute as he is crafty. You may want to think twice before using him as a mercantile go-between.
Second and third place went to 2P Start's "Powers of Ten" and Digital Unrest's "The Bomb," respectively. If you've got a strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, don't hesitate to drop a link to it in the comments section of this post, or send in a tip!

Readers pick best webcomic: Babicide
The dynamic duo from Penny Arcade have had long-standing animosity with infants, as evidenced by a number of their past strips. This cycle -- and the comic's victory streak -- continued in last week's Webcomic Wrapup winner, titled "Babicide." Just to be clear, they're talking about demonic baby murder in this strip, and not that blue liquid that hairstylists use to clean combs. Yes, that's how it hit us first, too.
Second and third place went to Brawl in the Family's "Zombie Attack" and Hiimdaisy's "Big Long Persona 4 Comic Part Two," respectively. If you've got a favorite strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's poll, it's not too late to send it in! Just leave a link in the comments section of this post, or shoot us a tip!

Readers pick best webcomic: Ambiguitas
We hate to drop spoilers on you guys, but we've gotta impart one important piece of information from Uncharted 2 before the above comic will make any sense: Nathan Drake is a straight up genocidal maniac. Now, this fact is never really explored by the game -- fortunately, Tycho and Gabe managed to expose his manslaughtering habits in last week's Webcomic Wrapup winner, "Ambiguitas." Remember, kids: Henchmen have families, too.
Second and third place went to 2P Start's "Scariest Boo Costume" and Virtual Shackles' "Groundhog Day in Hell," respectively. Got a strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's wrapup? Just drop a link in the comments, or send in a tip!
