Dueling Analogs

Dueling Analogs was a gaming Web Comic created by Steve Napierski consisting of mostly stand-alone parodies and gags of popular videogames. It was well-known for running jokes such as the "Rejected Mega Man Bosses", and "Games I'm Glad were Never Made" series.

The comic did feature a couple of original characters, an Author Insert, Steve, and Jeremy the Sony PR Gnome.

The comic ran regularly from 2005 onwards, though slowly moved away from original content, instead linking to articles and artwork from others, before ceasing altogether. The final original comic was posted in 2017.
