''[[The Adventures of Joe the Circle]]'' was an early [[Science Fiction]] [[Web Comic]] by Mike Shapiro. Originally printed in Shapiro's college newspaper in the early '90s, it first appeared online in 1995. It followed the adventures of [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|Joe]], a violent, gun-toting circle, along with his companions: [[Only Sane Man|Ronnie]], an even-tempered triangle; [[Big Eater|Bob the Boobian]], a dimwitted . . . ''thing'' with a gaping maw and limited vocabulary; [[The Ditz|Franko]], a clairaudient flying fish; and [[Surfer Dude|Bert]], a laid-back gearhead who provided the crew's transportation.
The comic was rather crudely drawn, but made up for it with freewheeling storylines, goofy humor, and extremely quotable dialogue. Most of the comics can be found at [http://joe-the-circle.com www.joe-the-circle.com], with a few older issues accessible through [
Incidentally, you may have encountered Shapiro's work in another form. He's a [http://www.mikemusic.com composer] in [[Real Life]], providing music for films and [[Video Games]], at least [[Empire Earth|one of which]] can be found on [[This Very Wiki]].

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: One of the comic's primary sources of humor.
* [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness]]: Definitely a 1 on the scale. [[Rule of Funny]] trumps Science every time.
