Blanketed Random Reviews #31-#39: Webcomics

So I decided that instead of doing a bunch of littler posts that would all fit under the same blanket, I'd just make them into one large, fun update. The first one: webcomics. Now everyone knows webcomics are hit-or-miss, and I'm here to tell you about the hits. As always, click on the pictures to enlarge.

RR #31: Toothpaste For Dinner

The originator, in my case. This dude (Drew) is the one that welcomed me warmly into the world of webcomics, and he has remained one of my favorites for a long time. His jokes are sometimes aimed at specific demograpics, but still funny and relatable nonetheless.

Also, this is Drew's fantastic sketch comedy show, Roller Chester (no longer updated):

RR #32: Natalie Dee This is created and run by Drew's wife, Natalie Dee. She does one-panel gags involving cute, colorful drawings. I like them, but a few every now and then seem to be personal jokes. I'm not saying they are unfunny, just slightly difficult to relate to. They are still charming, though.

RR #33: Married to the Sea This is the collaboration between Drew and Natalie Dee. They take old pictures from what I'm assuming are medical textbooks, history books, and old art books, and add goofy captions to them. This is hands down the most brilliant webcomic out there, if I do say so myself. The jokes are amazing.

RR #34: Where Are the Dogs Humping?
Another collaboration between Drew and Natalie, this one takes real, odd pictures and adds hilarious thoughts and what-not to the bottom. I wish this one was updated more, to be honest.

RR #35: Subnormality
I just discovered this comic the other day, and now I'm completely and totally hooked. I've gone through most of the archives, and haven't not (double-negative, much?) laughed at one yet. It mixes pop culture, historical, and other such references into a comic that is definitely one of the best I've discovered thus far.

RR #36: Explosm/Cyanide and Happiness

This comic is done by a few different people (3-4 dudes, I think), and is usually moderately offensive. It focuses on sight gags and bad puns (especially lately). The earlier comics are waaaaay funnier. Most of the newer ones have been missing the target, or are just plain dumb. Either way, it's a decent webcomic.

RR #37: VG Cats
This comic is nicely animated, and one of the most popular ones on the web. It's really, really old, too. This one centers around two cats, Leo and Aeris, and their "adventures" throughout videogames. It's really entertaining if you know anything about videogames at all. I also LOVE the facial expressions, seriously.

RR #38: Perry Bible Fellowship
This comic has been in the news lately. Apparently, Nicholas Gurewitch (the creator) released a book containing a lot of these comics, and it sold out on Amazon in days. I think they are well made, and incredibly funny. He apparently has retired from doing them though, which made me sad to hear.

RR#39: Truck Bearing Kibble
After I heard of Perry Bible Fellowship's demise, I found an article online relating that comic to this one. They are both similar, yes, but this one is slightly more offensive (and not afraid to "go there"). I definitely enjoy this one as much as PBF.
