Today's xkcd combines my love of xkcd and slippy maps. And it's a big one. Luckily someone has put together a draggable/zoomable version.

having recently re-played half-life 2 (in the wake of the portal 2 release), i've been re-reading concerned, an excellent hl2 parody comic

once you figure out how to go to the next strip (hey, why not make it obvious?), axe cop is awesome

you're acting like a human. a white human<a/>. alp still going strong

magnetic fields song in comic form. awesome

i've linked to it before, but this dresden codak story is excellent. i highly recommend the book if you can find a copy

i recently re-read the whole of concerned. definitely worth it

the watchmen screenwriter is urging people to go and see it again. shame

i love the phrase eleventy billion. it's wigu's fault

this xkcd still makes me smile. it helps if you've seen the discovery channel advert

a lesson is learned, but the damage is irreversible. go and read it all. now. i'll wait. all done? wasn't that worth it? [via myles]

the spectral wolf fears only fire. godspeed

an awesome sweeny todd / over compensating mashup

ok ok, watchmen does look reasonably badass

man, i wish vera would finish return to sender. i've been waiting years to find out what happens

accidentally just read diesel sweeties and there was (fortuitously?) a flickr reference

wigu is coming back!

nerd distractions - a conversation in comments between warren ellis and joss whedon

a softer world is a very wry pseudo-comic

new to the awesome comics list - Dr McNinja

salty pointed me to this interesting article about the whole jack thompson / penny arcade dispute. makes for interesting reading.

shaw island is really sharp lately (and that's the first post in a while that tagyu hasn't been able to make any suggestions for)

on the day i request a desk as far from the window as possible, penny arcade is describing my life.

more from the midsts of (internet) time - the very first strip of "when i grow up", the pre-cursor to wigu, mais, overcompenstaing, etc

alp is still a piece of genius. nice side pieces by the artist too - today's on hayfever is great.

nsfw: alien and predator porn. that is wrong on so many levels [via alp]

jeff is alive! but cats are still a mystery

dinosaur comics has new tshirts. must... order...

jeff's still dead, but is speaking with god. i feel this is going to end well.

jeff rowland is dead, after an epic gun battle with death himself. rip jeff, we will miss you.

ryan (of dinosaur comics fames) has written probably the best livejournal post ever. i kinda sorta want to give it a try

i'm not sure whether i'm looking forward to the ppg anime that seems to be in the pipeline (pic1, pic2) (found by lealea at ). the characters seem a little over-characterised, but that much was inevitable. the result will be interesting, if not great.

alien love predator is a great web comic. [via matts]

it look like j-ro is going to be doing a joanna shirt - utterly awesome.

dave hoffman wrote a song titled 'i was a teenage billionaire psychopath' (j-ro reference) and it's not bad.

the order of the stick - a comic chub pointed me too. need to read it when i get more time.

MAGICAL ADVENTURES IN SPACE. SPRING INTO ACTION! JEFF SAVES THE WORLD!

wulffmorgenthaler is a reasonably good comic. via the long-absent juff

jeff is selling a fantastic wigu painting on ebay. when it gets closer the ending date, i may have to bid. it could be the only depiction of sherif pony's wife, outside of butter dimension³

dinosaur comics is great - saw it a while back, but kal just relinked

jeff's new comic has started. here's hoping it's awesome. looks interesting so far.

wigu is finishing at the end of the year. words cannot describe how sad i am :(

tom points to a wonderful study of cartoon characters' skeletal systems. including the power puff girls (yay!)

more lowbright action: same difference is stunning.

lea knows all - lowbright has some really awesome comics.

the perry bible fellowship is really good - well worth a trawl through the archives.

more election related crap: (wtf? i'm not even american) jeff r's new shirt is super-awesome.

jeff r is still overcompensating wildly.

a friend of lea's is doing some cool work.

i shouold get hold of a copy of flight volume one

jeff r is overcompensating. looks promising.

jeff r of wigu fame pointed out the beautifully drawn "a lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible". i might make it a regular read.

OS-tan might be the coolest/oddest thing i've seen in a while. a manga/os-wars crossover. wikipedia knows all.

wigu fan art in the form of a tDR parody. oooh - i wonder if tDR have new shirts out.

jeff has a sheriff pony tattoo. that's just too cool.

saw spiderman 2 again. dunst doesn't look so great with auburn hair. she also has crazy ideas.

this comic was found by tom. it really does resemble me, in a way i'm slightly embarrased to admit. but it's just so sunny outdoors :/

anything worth doing is worth maybe dying for. and stuff. <3
