4 Web Comics For Geeks

I figured I’d share my regular web comic reads with all three of you. :)

1. Penny Arcade

Always fun, often irreverent, this is by far the best web comic in the video/ccg/tabletop gaming world. Gabe and Tycho have been doing this gig for a long time now and their humor always cuts to the core of a true geek. Highly, highly recommended.

2. XKCD

This is a geeky comic for the ubergeek out there. You’ll find everything from math to physics to programming in XKCD. Through simple stick figures is communicated a world of geeky goodness that is sure to make you smile. Oh, and don’t forget to hover over the comic images on the website–you will always find witty comments in the alt-tags for each comic.

3. Dork Tower

Dork Tower is more for the RPG enthusiast than anything but always a fun read. The characters are loveable and entertaining and the writing is so incredibly true to geek life! A fairly new comic for me to follow but a good one, nonetheless.

4. Indexed

Everything from political humor to social commentary to simple daily observations are found in Indexed. While the subject matter isn’t all that geeky by nature, the simple fact that the entire comic is done with Venn diagrams and line graphs makes this a surefire geek hit while appealing to the masses as well. Look for books of these comics in local books stores, too!
