Ali: Hello all

AA: Hello Ali

Ali: I have an addiction. I'm addicted to webcomics.

I regularly read a number of webcomics along with countless others that I stumble upon in my nightly cravings for more comics. Here are my favorites:

xkcd

Okay, this is the most obvious one, since xkcd is arguably the most famous webcomic of the geek genre these days. Despite the corrosiveness of popularity, xkcd is continuing to be original and clever with minimal mediocrity.

Piled Higher & Deeper

I have been reading PHD comics since high school (yes, i see the irony) and it has always been a great companion for my moments of academic anxiety. However, the comics have transformed as the author, Jorge Cham, has finished grad school and became a professor. Nowadays, his comics mostly revolve around either more generalized topics of academia or the evolution of single characters. Still, it's a pleasure to read. If you are going to start reading, I highly recommend starting with the earlier strips.

Cyanide and Happiness

Delightfully disgusting, Cy&H tickles the most repulsive and perverted regions of the human brain. Although it can become repetitive at times, it's a great entertainment.

Truck Bearing Kibble

I have very recently found this gem of a comic. The drawings are absolutely amazing, and so is the sarcasm.

Wulffmorgenthaler

Another comic strip I discovered recently, Wulffmorgenthaler's sense of humor generally comes from the hidden human misery of everybody. It's a time-proven technique that works great for its authors. It's a great daily read.

Geek Hero Comic

This last comic of the list is not known for neither its artistic craftsmanship nor its brilliantly original ideas, but it is a fine representation of the GNU-centric computer culture. Geek Hero Comic tells the story of a group of hackers and their holy war against management and Microsoft-centric drones in the company they work for.
