Meta Delicious!
Is this funny even if you don’t know the history of Jon Rosenberg’s previous webcomics or some of the criticisms of certain flavors of webcomics of years gone bye? I think so but it’s an extra layer of guacamole on the nachos of delight if you’ve traveled that journey as a long time reader.
The Entrophy of Space
Just had to post another link to the great comics of Boulet — this one is the story of my life, my relationship to the space around my workspace (either work-work or furtive-efforts-at-creativity).
Boulet To You Sir, I Say Boulet!
Boulet is such a fun, imaginative artist — I’ve been crawling through the archives of his website. So much of it is incredibly fun — it’s basically a journal comic but he really gives free rein to flights of fantasy in it. I am kind of amazed at the output too – there is so much material and it’s all incredibly detailed and intricate.

Dr. Zach’s Guide to Parenting
I was a little late to the SMBC party but have been a fan for several years now. I laugh a lot of Zach’s comics because they are funny. Zach is funny. Sometimes he does that funny plus another level though that is just great. I really liked this one…
Clash of Civilizations
I have a love hate relationship with the game Civilization. The current version is Civ 5 and coincidentally I’ve been playing a bit of it this summer too. It does lend itself to some historical mismatches from time to time though as illustrated by the very recent installment of Awkward Zombie:
