xkcd vs. MATT

early xkcd looks different, more suicidal but less annoying

do people who like xkcd also tend to have a copy of Wall and Piece by banksy? i suspect so.

Other things like by xkcd types:

Something Awful forums membership
J-Pop
Not shutting the fuck up about Firefly

Astrophysics

Forwarding xkcd comics to me

XKCD is for those of us who realize life is not all about happy endings and trophy wives and who is better than who and all that shit. It's for those of us who live in reality. It's for the intelligent. It's for the insane.

guys, i've never heard of xkcd before, but it's obviously great. it poops all over its 90s/00s poorly-drawn misanthropic forebears, none of which have ever been good.

However much that Pinky Tuscadero up there's dad beat him as a child, it wasn't enough.

xkcd is for those among us who don't wallow in self-pity. It's for those of us who are filled with awe for the ordinary, not those who seek to fill emptiness with bland fiction.

It's for people with an intelligent sense of humor, not a chip on their shoulder.

ACHEWOOD REALLY ISN'T THAT FUNNY AND I DO NOT SEE WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT SO MUCH

Where's my Cat and Girl? Halfway up, far right (assuming "funny" can also mean "existentially stimulating")?

reading about xkcd has led me to shit like

bad man

ts: emo xkcd vs. nerd jokes xkcd

oh god

dino comics is the only web comic that is any good at all and it is REALLY good

it actually took me weeks before i even realized that the drawings in dino comics were exactly the same in every strip

achewood >>>>>>>>>>>>> dino comics >>>>>>>>>>>> everything else

(PBF RIP)

xkcd is kinda like if the guy who does achewood took his meds and got a degree

no

i don't think there's any sequence of events that could lead to the achewood guy becoming the xkcd guy.

romanian orphanage?

that was a nice try at realistic humanoid observation, gabb-bot

F'real.

are you calling me elitist, TH? ;)

people are bitter, they cling to achewood

maybe that guy would be funnier if he ate some arugula every once in a while

achewood is funny

sorry bros dinosaur comics isnt funny

that MATT 'views of the recession' is great!

Pet peeve: motherfuckers who consider themselves "insane".

I've enjoyed the occasional xkcd ("You're a cat!" was cute) but it's too damn painful overall. Like a lot of those indie and punk comics, it seems to eschew jokes for an "oh, I recognise that! This I like!" reaction. I see no other reason why anyone would give a shit about something like this:

Oh ho ho ho, you guys, Dennis the Menace did an SQL Injection on the school's server. That scamp! :^D

The only girls that are aware of this that I know like to go to B@rcamp and dated the j@vascr1pt adv0cate for m0z1lla j0hn r3s1g. Also when I dated her we had "his and hers" Belle and Sebastian mugs making

it's schticks are "lol maths and physics exist and some programming languages are bad" and "i am a belle and sebastian fan with a moleskine"

OTM.

Achewood has the occasional miss but:
a.) The characters have consistent voices
b.) The stuff that completely fails is usually the weird concept shit, that's a gamble, at least
c.) Even if you don't like the adventures of five year old Phillippe, he's at least pretty consistent

I liked Diesel Sweeties a fair bit a few years back but don't look at it that much anymore, it's more good for one-note jokes and I don't tend to care about the characterization quite as much. xkcd geek jokes get passed around the office, but I really think it's guys in another area just reading it when a database pun gets posted to digg or something, I dunno. Dinosaur Comics has a few funny ones but same thing, I just read the occasional ones I'm sent.

Not experienced enough with this "Matt" comic to have a strong opinion.

dude discovered animation

Cooooool.

something so depressing about a guy being that absurdly ambitious with his expressionless stick figures

little stickman all grown up

they had this guy on Colbert last night and I don't know if I've ever seen a guest less comfortable

that was funny, i saw it in the hospital this morning
