[[File:loserz_0532_7664.gif|frame| Eric Approves.]]
A webcomic by Erik Schoenek. Started in 2001, went on hiatus in 2007. You find [http://loserzcomic.comicgenesis.com/ the archive of strips up to 2004 here]; a more recent site (bukucomics) [[Series Hiatus|was gone dead for some time]], came back, and now has gone dead again. Luckily, yet another archive can be found [http://the-qlc.com/loserz/ here].
