LINK CONTEST 2005
Nothing much happening in Edmonton thus far. But i was looking at my link bar and , well , it's pitiful. The movie at least works now but still I thought since 90% of my internet viewing is webcomics I thought i'd have a battle and let you decide which should be on my linkin' bar. So here folks is the common viewing of Cameron:
Wigu
The original comic by Ubergenius Jeffery Rowland who already owns one of the links on the bar. Its about a kid and his family and is a level of funny that is both outright absurd and subtle all at once. I'm a huge fan. His insight into the inner workings of a kids mind are amazing
Scary-Go-Round
Wildly popular and amazingly artistic magnum opus from John Allison. I used to love his comics about office work and being normal people but once he added monsters and started producing just about every shirt Stu wears, well, he hit the jackpot. Also a daily necessity for me.
Beaver and Steve
I preferred this one when it had simple strips rather than long-arc stories, but it still has a perverted sense of humor which, though usual in webcomics, manages to dodge staleness and repetition here. I suggest digging in the archives for some really good ones though.
Wondermark
My latest discovery, though it's apparently been around for a while. You could just look at the pictures and laugh really. Ohhh old tyme
Bigger Than Cheeses
Total Guilty pleasure but still often laugh out loud hilarious. Though I read the highbrows this is often the one I quote to people. Plus there are always an array of hilarious links updated with each comic.
A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible
When i grow up I hope to produce things like this. Breathtaking and totally irreverent. Dan claims to not get it but deep down he's laughing. I know he is. Randomness is perfection.
The Perry Bible Fellowship
My interest is feigned here too. Used to be the best thing going. Now it's getting less and less rude and less and less funny. But still and archive full of classics.
Spamusement
Complete opposite of most of the other comics but pulls it off amazingly. Simple concept of using headlines of spam as titles of comics. Crude drawings. But consistently hilarious.
Perfect Stars
This one is just growing on me. Like "A lesson is learned" most of the joy comes from the artistry of the comics, not just the humor. But you have to love hand painted Paris Hilton. Come on
there are others , but not really Link worthy either due to infrequent updates or going totally downhill. There are your choices men (and ladies, actually mostly ladies)

Do we have to vote for just one? If so then Scary-go-round for fear of every shirt I own killing me in my sleep and also because well it is awesome. My second vote would be for the Perry Bible Fellowship because very few of those comics have failed to make me laugh. Also I would like to ask what about Dinosaur Comics?
two votes are fine.
Yes, Dinosaur Comics is also hilarious, i just find myself getting tired of it so i'm not a regular reader. Same with Achewood.
I have other ones for sure. those are just my more frequented. your votes shall be considered
totally has nothing to do with what you said but, Krista got a tattoo on her lower back. The "It's like a bullseye" line is tried and true.
