5 Awesome Webcomics that aren't Cyanide & Happiness...

by Alvin


Don't get me wrong, I love, love, lurve Cyanide & Happiness, but some other webcomic icons deserve the limelight this time.

So, in no particular order of greatness...


Uno!
The Abominable Charles Christopher


Karl Kerschl magnificently renders a touching comic of magical & lovable characters, mixing moments of chuckle with heart warming backgrounds of the main casts, as well as slowly unravelling the "un'putdownable" plot serving as the destiny of the titular Charles Christopher... Note: one scene; if you've invested a lot of heart in one particular character, will make a dent.


Dos!
Savage Chickens











Bite-sized laughs drawn on real Post-It notes.  If you're after something random in the office, trek through the Amazons, break from that finance lecture leeching the soul out of you.  I really recommend this novel series by Doug Savage.  Never before has chickens and yellow changed the way I've looked at the insane world.


Tres!






I have a thing for ridiculous and random humour expressed in quirky, sequential art.  And this one takes the cake in orgasmic quantities.  It probably helps that (if I remember correctly) there are maybe 4-5 comic strips with Batman in them; often to heckle, but nonetheless.  There's a few particular ones here that if I had been drinking milk at the time, would've spurted it out my nose - though I can't remember which...


Quatro!





When you spend almost an hour trying to find a comic strip from its archives that would best represent the awesome'ness of this webcomic - you know that one couldn't do it justice.  This ain't no goody-two-shoes Christian pious strip, oh no oh no don't let the title lead you down that path.  The numerous art styles make this an extravaganza for the eyes, & the naughty, ungodly, f**k'n hilarious hilarity will never let your face muscles rest - I swear it!


Cinco!









Looks innocent & childish don't it, minus the occasional "inappropriateness".  First eye'ing this comic, I fell in love with the children's book & nostalgic comic strip art. But what made it more was the sometimes "sick" & modern twist with laughs; often subtle and often direct (I'm making things up now, hehe).  You wont find another reason to log online and not "fap" away (I know, a bit out of character for you) than this.  God bless funny bones.
