Newton the Newt

A webcomic created by Newton The Newt. Frog endures his friend Newton's crazy sense of humor and awful puns. Wise Old Bullfrog, a self-proclaimed philosopher, and Angry Betta, a bitter Siamese fighting fish support the strip as recurring characters.

The first season introduces these four characters and develops them, for lack of a better word. There's no storyline; it's a Gag Per Day comic.

Read it at deviantArt or at ComicDish. The deviantArt page includes a blog with occasional humor entries, which are a heckuva lot better than this article.
