Entertainment News: 10 Great Webcomics You Should NOT Share With Your Kids

You might not know it from glancing at your average newspaper’s funnies page, but there are plenty of fresh, hilarious comic strips available right now. It’s hard for them to get attention and space in newspapers, however, what with all those Peanuts re-runs and old timers like Blondie, Beetle Bailey, and Garfield taking up the ever-shrinking space. Even Dilbert is showing his age. To no one’s surprise, the best place to read comic strips today is online. Subscribing through the syndicates is the way to go, and you’ll get the comic strips delivered automatically via e-mail. 1

Indie hipsters, a trendy coffee shop, obscure references and snaky comments. No it?s not your Saturday afternoon, it?s a daily web comic by J. Jacques featuring a cast of hip twenty somethings just trying to make their way through life. Oh and also there are havoc wreaking tiny robots. Join the adventures of Faye, Marty, Dora, and the rest of the gang as they work through their piles of issues, find love, and make fun of the goth kids in the mall. Funny and easy to get into. 2

Webcomics began springing up like kudzu almost as soon as Al Gore finished inventing the interwebs. Some were good, some were bad, many were indecipherable. However good, bad or fugly they were though, they all had one thing in common: a complete lack of censorship. Let’s face it, much of geek-related humor out there tends to have more of an adult/bizarre/sophomoric streak than your typical Sunday Comics page. It can also be hi-friggin’-larious. Check out the comics on this list and feel free to recommend your own choices in the comments section. 3

Speaking of spoofs this long running web comic by Pete Abrahms takes the cake. It turns spoofs into long running epics mixed with a delightfully original storyline. The cast is sprinkled with a wild array of characters from a freelance web designer to a Asian college student to an alien from a different dimension to a angry mini lop bunny rabbit that talks. It?s humor goes from smart to toilet and the storyline goes from light hearted to heartbreaking at a click. Worth the five + years of back comics to get to the current punch line. 4

This is the story of a girl. A girl who enjoys fart jokes. Fart party is the loose story of Julia Wurtz?s life as a comic creator and artist as she travels through the world meeting people and breaking up with her boyfriend. She makes entirely inappropriate comments at entirely appropriate times. The sort of things that you know you were thinking but too afraid to say. She just shares hers in comic form. 5
