Be like Oskar, don't have better things to do!

Right, so I've found another great way to procrastinate. I now regularly read about a million web-comics, so I can be sure that at least one will be updating soon ALL THE TIME. I cycle through them, waiting for one to update. This is great because I was exaggerating and really only read six of them, so I end up re-reading them several times every day.

That said, I do think that some of the best humor around these days can be found in online comics.
I will once again provide you with a list (listing has become my 'thing' if you haven't noticed), this time of some of my favorite web-comics. Hopefully you will also like them and start wasting your life too!

Dr McNinja: My favorite comic at the moment. It combines some brilliant meme-trend-setting material, with bizarre circumstances, plenty of 'in' jokes and some decent art. Also, it's about a doctor who comes from a long line of Irish ninja and his 10 year old, mustache sporting, sharp shooting sidekick called Gordito, who rides a raptor called Yoshi.

XKCD:
Old favorite of mine, I have been reading this comic since about half way through year 11. Might be a bit mathsy for some, but usually a good read. Some really clever stuff too, which is contrasted by the very simple drawings, mostly sick figures.
One of my favorites: http://xkcd.com/435/

Dinosaur Comics:
I've had mixed responses about this one. Perhaps its a bit too nerdy, even for the people who are nerdy enough to talk to me. It features the same images in every comic strip, with the writing altered each time. It has some good jokes about linguistics, literature and philosophy as well as a smattering of less intellectual jokes about sex, eating and cephalods.
Couldn't find my favorite, but this one is pretty good. Be sure to read the text when you hover your mouse over the image. http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000298.html

Saturday Mornin Breakfast Cereal:
I've only started reading this one recently, but it is quickly making its way up my list of favorites. It usually features a scene designed to give you one impression, then turns your idea of what's going on around with a second scene or sometimes just an additional sentence displayed below the comic.
This one's great: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1481#comic

Least I Could Do:
This one has its ups and downs; I really enjoy the superhero/starwars refferences and Rayne's (the main character) spontaneous actions, however it sometimes takes its more risque' jokes too far and can be downright disturbing. Not for the easily offended.

Hope you like them too.
