These five web comics are already pretty well-established, but we hope that bringing up this topic will cause others to post some more obscure, deserving web comics in the comments section of this article for everyone to enjoy.

Note: Some of the sample images below had to be resized to fit this format. Click the pictures to see the comics as the artists intended.
 

1) XKCD

XKCD is one of the most well-known web comics on the Internet. The web comic’s artist, Randall Munroe, describes it as a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

One thing that’s easy to miss is that the last line of each comic is hidden in the picture’s caption. To see it, just hold your mouse over the picture and wait a second or two.

2) Garfield Minus Garfield

A unique adaptation of the long-running Garfield comic strip. The web comic’s creator describes the comic below:

“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.”

This popular web comic even has the blessing of Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator. 

3) The Perry Bible Fellowship

The Perry Bible Fellowship is a web comic created by Nicholas Gurewitch. Don’t let the name of the site fool you: The Perry Bible Fellowship is not focused on religion. Instead, the artist aims his unique sense of humor at a wide range of topics. As an added bonus, each comic is beautifully illustrated and full of color. 

4) Married To The Sea

Married To The Sea combines old-timey drawings with modern wit. It is drawn by the husband and wife team of Drew and Natalie Dee.

They each have their own comics as well. Toothpaste For Dinner is Drew’s comic and you can find Natalie’s drawings at Natalie Dee.

5) F Minus

F Minus is a comic that started on the web and has since become syndicated in newspapers across the country. Artist Tony Carrillo’s style is often compared to Gary Larsen’s “The Far Side”.

Gas is ridiculously expensive right now, but it’s not just drivers that are feeling the pinch. Arsonists are the forgotten victims of this economic downturn.

Have you ever tried to start a house on fire by rubbing two sticks together?

Well, if gas prices continue to rise, you may get home from work and find your friendly neighborhood arsonist doing just that. And let’s face it, that’s a situation that’s going to be awkward for everyone.

In hopes of avoiding that scenario, we’ve put together a few tips to help arsonists save money on fuel:

1) Check Your Ego At The Door
It may hurt your pride, but even the classiest arsonists have to know when to make sacrifices. If you’re using premium fuel, downgrade to regular unleaded until this whole gas crisis thing blows over.

2) Choose Your Targets Wisely
Back when gas was a couple bucks a gallon, you could afford to douse the entire house in fuel. Unfortunately, it’s not the 90s anymore. Things have changed and so should your strategy. Dial it back a bit. Do you really need to set that foosball table on fire? Why not steal it instead? It’ll make an awesome story for your next dinner party.

Also, avoid spending too much time (and fuel) trying to set birthday candles on fire. You never know when they could be those trick kind. Nothing makes an arsonist look more like a sucker than a trick birthday candle.

3) Befriend Drew Barrymore
Can’t even afford a drop of gasoline? Then it’s time to go nuclear. If you’ve seen Firestarter (and what self-respecting arsonist hasn’t) then you know what she can do. Try sending her a fruit basket or something. It can’t hurt.
