I’m late, I’m late, but I swear I have a good reason. I got busy and then I forgot. Okay, fine, it’s not a good reason, but it’s better than nothing, right? What’s more, there are not one, but two new comic updates today, but since it’s late, I’ll just have to do them later.

The Book of Biff

Yeah, you just don’t get mace-in-the-boxes like you used to…

Bunny Pandemic

This one I’m on the edge of understanding, but I just don’t remember enough from my chemistry class in high school to connect all of the dots.

Concession

This is… so wrong… but a little funny

Ctrl+Alt+Del

And to think, Batman’s got that thing against killing, too. And the guy he killed wasn’t even a major villain.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies (2)

The first page I love. I’ve always wanted to see Death try out his Touch. This example is met with impressive results. The second, not so much. Just news stuff.

Cyanide and Happiness

Okay, so I said that Concession’s page was wrong? This is worse. It’s not funny, it’s not depressing, it’s just creepy.

Game Destroyers

A tentacle has been summoned. I don’t think I even need to say where my mind leaped to.

Girly

I should have known Collette was to blame in some way. Okay, sure, it’s indirect, but still.

Goodbye Chains

Poor guy. He just doesn’t have his bro’s gift for gab.

Irregular Webcomic(2)

So, both of these pages involve summoning. Beyond that… I’m a bit too tired to explain

Lead Paint

I don’t really read american print comics, so I don’t understand this page much at all.

Life’s a Witch

And so she will slowly come to realize… that she’s gotten a different date than expected.

Luke Surl

I think that yo momma jokes got old by the time I was out of high school, didn’t they?

Matter of Fact

Um… Penguin vasectomy? I don’t get it.

Misfile

For once, she doesn’t have any backtalk. Finally.

Mysteries of the Arcana

Keith told me that the drill was just a tool last week, not the actual weapon. Knowing that, I made my own guess as to what the real weapon would be. This was it. This or some liquid.

No Need For Bushido

Normally I’d get slaughtered for saying this kind of thing, but Ina’s blush-glare is just really cute, and she’s not one of my friends.

Order of the Stick

And OotS is back! Kind of a melodramatic moment, though. The dwarf gullible.

Our Last Gasp

I can sympathize. I’ve wanted to hit my computer a lot lately. But since it’s on it’s- ha- last gasp, I restrain myself.

R&R Productions

That’s one nice deed. So does that mean that he can trade and trade back and be absolutely debt-free?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Subdividing. That’s my summary for this comic. Fuck, I need to sleep.

Something Positive

Comparison time- both CAD Sillies and S*P have the same topic. The difference? This discussion on it is entertaining.

The SuperFogeys Origins

Alright, I guess that maybe Tangerine’s story ending isn’t all bad. I actually do want to know more about this guy

Union of Heroes

For some reason, it really is funny seeing someone ask The One Who Knows how he knows something.

xkcd

I’ve traveled here from the year 1990 to say this: I need to try this.

Simply give the name and perhaps the link of whatever webcomic you want me to look at, and depending on what’s going on in my life and the length of the comic archive, I should be recording its updates within a week.

This is, yes, a pretty late update. I slept over at my grandma’s, and then I slept in. I didn’t have the opportunity to do this until just now. Luckily, yesterday’s update was more than easy enough to copy off of.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

New slang usually isn’t planned, I think. It just happens sometimes.

Cyanide and Happiness

Yeah, I snickered at this. Yes, it’s cruel. That’s why they call it “slapstick humor”. Even though, you know, sticks aren’t slapping him.

Game Destroyers

He didn’t expect a giant gun to put a pause on the fight? For a scientist, he really isn’t all that smart, is he?

Irregular Webcomic

Wait a second, according to many of the major religions, aren’t human spirits immortal as well?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

There is a lesson here- don’t ever trust the media. I don’t, and it’s allowed me to lead a reasonably happy life.

First, I would like to apologize, since obviously Today.com isn’t going to do it, for the pop-up ad that may come up when you go directly to the main page. Again, this is not my fault- Today.com seems to take the opinion that they have the rights to just about everything on my blog, which means that there’s only a matter of time before they fit advertisement in amongst my actual posts. For the moment, things are just annoying, but there is a rough plan for leaving this site- as soon as I earn enough change for fifty bucks, I’m out, and going to make my own independent site. I’d like to thank you all for your patience in the meantime.

Also, I would like to point attention to the newest addition to my list- Amazoness! Yes, that exclamation mark is part of the name. I haven’t honestly read it yet, though, since I was pretty well distracted yesterday, but I’ll be going through it soon enough.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

Megan Fox, Megan… Fox… Nope, doesn’t ring a bell.

Cyanide and Happiness

That is one logical kid. Also, guess which one of his parents he likes better?

Game Destroyers

Question here- did Spiffy’s insanity grow with him, or did it just grow out? Because the first idea is just plain scary.

Girly

Well, Winter might be bummed, but she still has what it takes to take care of herself.

Irregular Webcomic

Are we going to have to go through an entire game of questions like this?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

If I didn’t think that pretty much all pick-up lines were lame, I’d think that this was actually pretty cool.

I finished reading through Goodbye Chains yesterday, and also read through the archive of Matter of Fact, which is the newest comic on the list. I was also going to read another comic yesterday, but I let myself get distracted by manga and a novel. I’ll add that in tomorrow.

+1 Comics

She’s got a huge point, you know. Clowns are creepy. Sephiroth’s just plain cool.

The Book of Biff

Well, at least Biff now has more privacy, right?

Concession

This is… almost indescribably creepy.

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Nooooo! -sniffles- In other news, Embra’s speech centers seem to be going on the fritz, in that first panel.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

Seriously, kill the fucking bunny. Shotgun blast, projectile Wii remote, touch of Death, I don’t care, just kill it!

Cyanide and Happiness

While this should dig straight into my heart, it really does amuse me. I decided long ago that I would have no regrets about my life.

Game Destroyers

So it looks like we missed something interesting and came back to something… not.

Irregular Webcomic

I kind of liked the metaphor used here. At the very least, it’s probably better than any actual explanation of faster-than-lightspeed travel.

Luke Surl

Sadly, physics is bugging me about this again. How are they supposed to get the beads to each other accurately?

Matter of Fact

Okay, my first review on Matter of Fact- my first of the new pack, actually. So, what can I say about this comic? It does have a good site, decent art. It has no major reoccuring characters, and no plot whatsoever. But I think I can safely say that it’s one of the more versatile comics that I have on my list right now. If an object can have a face fitted on it, MoF will be there. If somebody can be given a strangely-shaped head, MoF will be there. If a giraffe can be involved, MoF will be there (yeah, I noticed that fixation). The artist certainly looks at things at a squeehunky angle compared to everyone else, and that’s often a good thing.

You know, I always thought that Peter was a shifty one. And now, history will tell.

Misfile

You know, I really, really want to rip out Heather’s lip ring. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, my ass. Planning just leads to disappointment. Always try, but never hope is my theme, and it works for me.

Our Last Gasp

That brat has an agent? What the crap? And also, I always used to think that “indie films” had something to do with Indiana Jones. Weird, right?

R&R Productions (Lightstorm)

It’s not supposed to be funny, I think, but it still amuses me. The cube will know what to do? Seriously?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

This one page is exactly why name changes became legal. Some parents are just cruel.

Something Positive (2)

Apparantly, mommy being violent towards the man that used to stick it in her in front of her child is absolutely okay (read this the mostly-clean way, please?). That’s very good to know.

Union of Heroes

Upon further information, I think I’m going to call this minicomic- a collaboration. Only partially because I hardly ever get to use the term.

xkcd

This actually sounds like something that might be interesting to try. As long as you had at least one other person that was in on it.

I have two new comics on the list now- Eben07 and Goodbye Chains. GC I’m only halfway through, but Eben07 I actually did get all the way through, although not entirely to my pleasure. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but that site’s navigational system has a broken leg. I’m pretty sure that I’ve never sworn so much at a single comic before. But it’s tomorrow, so I’m feeling better about it now.

Back on Earth

You’ve got to admit, she is being a faithful friend, even if she doesn’t have any common sense regarding boundaries. I wonder what she pegged Javis on?

The Book of Biff

This would never, ever work for me. I like to feel the structure of the neck collapsing as I strangle it. Anything else is just holding on to something.

Bunny Pandemic

Ah, the classic “stickybutt” joke. Minus the fat guy.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

Oh dear, so he’s stuck there? He’s going to happy land for sure.

Cyanide and Happiness

This Depressing Comic actually is… depressing. What’s up with that?

Game Destroyers

Hey, you won’t see me complaining about this. Those little action commands at the bottom of the screen in this place have always bugged me just a bit.

Irregular Webcomic

This brings up a tricky question. Would you rather have a world with Star Wars or a world at peace?

Misfile

Oh. Heather’s one of those kinds of people. New kids on the block can’t be caught playing with the old junk. Along with her “American car ftw” thing, she really doesn’t have that big of a range of options, does she?

Mysteries of the Arcana

Quick question here- if the beam picked up the plant-beast first, and Theresa was last in line, how come she was the one saying hi to the stabby-drill?

Our Last Gasp

What a pretentious little snot, huh? I think I might grow to like him.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

I seriously think that a better line to go with this would have been “Dr. Stein explains that my husband is dead”. Just because that would be the neatest explanation ever.

Something Positive

If you want to see a beloved video game character punch some guy in the family jewels, check it out. It won’t be around for long.

The SuperFogeys

So did Jerry’s family come just because they were paid? And they were paid by the guy that tried to kill Jerry? How does this make any sense?

New comic on the list- Lead Paint, which is not nearly as boring as the name makes it sound. I’ll be putting up a short review on it when it updates.

The Book of Biff

If there’s supposed to be a joke here, I’m not seeing it.

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Hey, so that’s what Zeke looks like from behind. And it’s nice that he’s being so considerate. Still not nice that he’s leaving, though.

Cyanide and Happiness

This has violence in it, and yet it’s still not that funny. What’s up with that?

Game Destroyers (2)

Alright, so the main thing here is that the doctor is being somewhat less than amenable to P.G.’s ‘requests’. And now he has a big gun to back up his words.

Girly

Poor Yumi. Afflicted with… -shudders- … French.

Hero (2) (3) (4) (5)

And to think, I was just about to put this webcomic onto my hiatus list. Ganymar tells another story, and it’s pretty deep. What would it be like to simply remember emotions?

Irregular Webcomic

So the lesson here is that scientists are selfish, elitist bastards?

Luke Surl

I’m pretty sure this is based on Moby Dick. I never actually read that.

Misfile

Oh, bugger, now Ash is underestimating Emily’s opponent. And that just might be a cue for Heather to speed past them.

Our Last Gasp

What a moodkiller, huh?

R&R Productions (Tales From the Looking Glass)

It’s a little scary how much he seems to be enjoying that daydream.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Okay, this is actually pretty funny. That scares me a little bit, but… yeah.

Something Positive

That new guy really doesn’t have any luck at all, does he? Maybe it’ll help if he got rid of that stupid beard.

Union of Heroes

Okay, so not really a guest comic. Just a guest character?

xkcd

Randomized luck. Fun.

The Book of Biff

So Biff’s a stick-man. Is this new?

Concession

Oh, dear, somebody’s after Matt. Joel might not like that… Kind of funny how both of their imaginations have the same guy, though.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

Batman is so buff that he can make an attacker’s head EXPLODE by just flexing. Awesome.

Cyanide and Happiness

That guy sure likes to rub it in, huh? Although it is pretty fun seeing her broken farther down for every child he mentions.

Goblins

Now everyone’s back together, with a very nice healing effect. Short, but definitely quality.

Irregular Webcomic

Hooray, somebody mentioned my idea for getting to the other side of the mountains!

Misfile

And there goes Emily’s coolness factor. Nobody should have a mouth that big. It makes her look panicky.

The Noob Comic

Dozens of D34dlys. This can’t possibly turn out well. Amusing, maybe. But not well.

Our Last Gasp

No… I don’t think that “functional” is a good word for him. Twisted, maybe. But not functional.

R&R Productions (The Assignment)

Dual axes. That’s the FUN way.

Something Positive

Sounds like he’s never touched a computer before. How’d he get hired as a systems administrator?

The SuperFogeys Origins

No regrets. Good for him. I’m going to miss reading Tangerine’s Origin, I think. It was a fun go.

Okay, new news. Yesterday, Luke helped me out with a problem that I had been planning to fix for awhile- namely, that links open in the same window and tab as Webcomics Update. This minor issue is now fixed for every link in the full list, every “important” link in the detailed full list, and every link from here on out in the updates- for Firefox. I did some extra research and found out that Internet Explorer has no way of opening new tabs through links, so they come up as new windows instead.

Also, I did get up early, but then I got extremely distracted- Yakuza Lords did me in. As such, I do not have any comments up yet, and I do have to get to class. I’ll finish up when I’m done.

Tada, all done. At 1:39 (Yakuza Lords again, sorry to say. I’ll get bored by the end of the week, probably)

Back on Earth

I really liked the wordplay in the punchline on this page.

The Book of Biff

Something that occurred to me- imagine him stiff, and trying to take a relaxing bath. Just propped up above the actual water.

Bunny Pandemic

That is one smart bunny. I don’t understand half of the words that it’s saying. And it’s too cute to call a twit, which frustrates me.

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Zeke needs to take an online psychology class. Then he will know- sentient beings are products of their environment. It’s as simple as that.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies (2)

For the first page, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Amazon gets written out of Diablo 3. It’s my least-favorite character in Diablo 2, after all. And on the second- yeah, that’s actually funny. Batman’s too buff.

Cyanide and Happiness

A Discworld reference comes to mind reading this. In the books, there’s a falconer named Hodgesargh. At least, that’s how he introduces himself, because the birds that he trains invariably attack him. This invokes those pleasure centers, plus some extras.

Game Destroyers

Wait a second, how did Bowser get that hammer back?

Irregular Webcomic

Um… good question? I guess…

Luke Surl

I definitely laughed at this, even though I probably shouldn’t. I’m just a fan of randomized cruelty.

Misfile

Emily’s practically kick-ass on this page. It’s kind of cool.

Mysteries of the Arcana

I have two comments, neither of which are specifically about the plot. First is the bbuzz’s text. I like it, simply. Very cool idea. And I also liked the design of the doomwalkers. Very sturdy, without any extra, unnecessary bits.

Our Last Gasp

Yeah, I’m about as surprised as her. I’d expect actresses to be a bit more common than actors. Then again, that is profiling.

R&R Productions (Bob Sly P.I.)

A significant pause… a barbed comment, maybe?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Zach left out the reality in this best case/worst case page, so I feel indebted to fill in: “Hey, look, you’re actually uglier when I look at you through this”

Something Positive (2)

The only time I’ve ever actually heard the whole “do as I say, not as I do” shpiel was when talking to drug/alcohol/tobacco addicts. I’m taking their word for it. On the second page, I really got amused, for more than one reason. The first is, of course, at Peejee’s realization that she’s going to be doing tech support for the tech support. And a side bit is that the only other time I remember her saying “Oh” with that kind of text bubble was after Davan subtly reminded her that he loved her.

Union of Heroes

Time for guestcomic!

xkcd

Going off of this, I could easily do tech support. This is exactly the system that I use to figure stuff out on my computer.

I overslept. A lot. I think it might have had something to do with the bottle of Mountain Dew that I had. But here’s the update:

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

I hate this kind of thought. I really do. If the world is going to be destroyed, so is the thing that you’re sacrificing the world for.

Cyanide and Happiness

Just because I can’t think of anything better- there’s your sign.

Game Destroyers

Aaaand, we’re back, with a minimum of pointless tasks.

Irregular Webcomic

Old joke, tried and true, but not, to be honest, all that funny. The multilingual mix was interesting, though.

Something Positive

Davan’s trying to be nice, you can tell. He wasn’t entirely honest with that guy.

Okay, it’s storytime, everybody. Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a blogger came to realize that he had a life. He looked at the calender and exclaimed: “My college classes start in just a few days!” He was so excited. But then he looked at his blog and realized that there would be no way for him to do his blog at his regular time, get enough sleep, and get to his classes on time. This scared him, as he didn’t want to neglect any one of these tasks. After some careful thought, he realized the answer. Should he stop blogging? Of course not! The answer was staring him in the face the whole time. He’d just go to sleep early, and then do the blog first thing in the morning like he used to. As soon as he reached this conclusion, he resolved to start changing his sleeping schedule immediately. The rest of the story, though, is yet to come.

Concession

So… Joel isn’t the brains of the outfit? His sister is? Now I’m getting more curious.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Sillies

I’m starting to consider dropping Sillies from my list. It’s not that the pages are bad, it’s just that they’re consistantly unexceptional, with references that I have no hope of understanding.

Cyanide and Happiness

This is… mildly creepy, in a mildly interesting kind of way.

Game Destroyers

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot all of those people…

Irregular Webcomic (2)

The first page I found interesting. As for the second- in the American version of the show, I only watched while Regis Philbin (sp?) hosted the show. He did ask “are you sure?” when a contestant had the right answer. It was fun watching them sweat over whether or not they had actually guessed right.

Our Last Gasp

I’ve never understood what it was about Klingon that excites nerds so much. It sounds like gargling on glue to me.

R&R Productions (Lightstorm)

One important point to be made- that green guy’s spouting a run-on.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

This reminds me a bit of Weird Al’s “Close but no Cigar”. Gods, that was a weird video.
