Line 39:
*** This troper edited that comic for the memorial of a friend... its the sort of afterlife he would have wanted. And he was a big xkcd fan.
*** Seconded. [http://xkcd.com/254/ Here's] the evidence.
** Its first [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] has to be the conclusion of the Barrel arc [
** As if you needed more proof, check out the [http://xkcd.com/657/ Movie Narrative Charts], and then [http://xkcd.com/681/ Gravity Wells].
*** And it even gave a [[Shout-Out]] to [http://xkcd.com/609/ us...]
Line 53:
** ... and for everyone who hasn't, it's just a darkly hilarious sprite comic with brilliant writing.
** I almost can't express how much I love this comic. I only discovered it a few months ago, by which time it was effectively over. However, this allowed me to read nine years worth of strips in a matter of weeks, getting the whole story at once. It is truly the most hilarious thing I've ever read, from strip number 1 to 1225.
* ''[http://www.sinfest.net/index.php Sinfest]'' is awesome. Political and religious and [[Just for Fun]] cartoons done ''right.'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131121030904/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2945 Exhibit A]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209183033/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3001 Exhibit B.] [
** My own gushing consists of Sinfest being the first webcomic to make me -care- about the characters. I actually -cared- whenever someone had a problem and I truly hoped things would end up well!
* ''[[Megatokyo]]'', [[Kudzu Plot]] and all, can still make me laugh, cry, and feel shocked and ashamed at its tale of people stumbling towards relationships in an atmosphere of [[Absurdity Ascendant]]. I ''want'' these made-up people to find love and support whilst I giggle and gasp at the [[Humongous Mecha|mecha]] run by the division of the police that facilitates disasters run by someone whose wife {{spoiler|and daughter}} is a [[Magical Girl]] and his daughter keeps a zombified Godzilla and harbours a crush on the protagonist whose sorta-girlfriend/idol was saved by an enigmatic [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] magical girl from being blown up by the black-ops division of Sony... look, just read it. Keep clear of the [[Broken Base]], though.
Line 104:
* [[Sluggy Freelance]]. This troper was introduced to the webcomic a few months ago and has only recently finished the epic archive, and never once did the humour wear thin. It managed to pull off [[Cerebus Syndrome]] remarkably well, and the serious moments thrown into the usually silly, happy plot are extremely poignant and occasionally heartbreaking.
** A webcomic where just about ''anything'' can happen (so long as it's PG-13) that runs the gamut of every genre imaginable without ever losing the humor and endearing characters at its core. Plus the thing's so frickin' huge that, by the time you finish your [[Archive Trawl]], you'll be ready to go back and re-read your old favorites again.
* ''[
* [[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]] and [[Cyanide & Happiness]]. Yes, they're [[Dead Baby Comedy|Dead Baby Comedies]]. Yes, they both [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line]] ''[[Crosses the Line Twice|at least]]'' [[Crosses the Line Twice|twice per comic]], but god''damn'' they're [[Rule of Funny|funny]].
** [[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]] is the only comic that makes me actually laugh out loud on every page. Xkcd doesn't even come close to making me laugh out loud. Nor does [[Penny Arcade]], and I'm a gamer.
