Vinigortonio

Vinigortonio (here in English and here in original Portuguese) is a hand drawn webcomic about three friends: Vinicius, Igor and Jose Carlos (and Igor's pet platypus) and the craziness that is their lives. Random antics and video game references abound.

Unlike most webcomics which are updated with a single strip on a weekly basis, Vinigortonio updates monthly with full comic stories about 50 pages long more like a traditional comic.

Arcs thus far are

"Detective Oak: Now I am the laws of physics!"
 * Detective Oak breaks a text box in half with his fist.

 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Platypus is able to infitrate the Police building with nothing more than a Police cap.
 * Scaley Confusion: To avoid getting headshot by Platypus's pendant attack a sentient alligator uses the Croc-o-style Sniper set... which is made from a skinned and decapitated crocodile... Best not think about it too hard.
 * Shout-Out: If Video Games aren't part of the plot they will be found everywhere as background jokes.
