Favorite Webcomics

Two of my favorite webcomics are xkcd and Irregular Webcomic.  I’ve got quite a few webcomics plugged into Google Reader, but these two stand head and shoulders above all the others.  The primary reason is because they are intelligent comics, relying on a brand of humor that appeals to the mind rather than relying on what I consider to be locker-room humor.  Nearly all the webcomics I read deal with geek humor in some fashion, but only xkcd and Irregular Webcomic rely pretty exclusively on ‘smart’ punchlines.  Comics like Ctrl-Alt-Del and Penny Arcade focus a lot on crude and crass topics and the main reason I keep them in my list is because of the occasional appearance of something truly witty.

Here are a couple of my favorite strips from the last couple of days:

See?  Smart humor.  Funny without the crudity.  That’s my kind of funny.

xkcd and Irregular Webcomic are two of my favorites as well. I don’t read penny-arcade very much, though I’ve been told I should. I also like Darth and Droids by Irregular Webcomic. I love Star Wars a lot, but I also really like making fun of it too :)

re: River – Yeah, Darths & Droids is on my regular list, as well.  Definitely quality material.  :)
