This is the internet, and we're all nerds here, so I'm sure many of you read webcomics. I know I do. I read a lot of webcomics and I enjoy them. It's the internet, though, so nothing is perfect. In fact, nothing is close to perfect, or good, or even mediocre. Pretty much everything from and on the internet is terrible. If you think you've found something that's not, you're in denial.

So.

For those of you who want their eyes opened, I'm taking requests. Just tell me your favorite webcomic (if it hasn't already been posted) and I'll tear it apart. Every single webcomic has crippling problems, so I will be equally vicious to each and every one. Remember, you don't have to participate if you don't want to be disillusioned!

DISCLAIMER: People tend to get offended when things they like are criticized. Remember, this is all in good fun! If people post comics I like - and I hope they will - I'll be just as mean to them (the comics, not the people) as I will be to any others. If you're easily offended, you can just assume that I secretly like the comic I'm criticizing. Or, you might just want to not read the thread.

Hmmm... how about Least I Could Do (http://leasticoulddo.com)? Its a daily strip, nice drawing, interesting story lines, and funny. Definitely one of my favorites. Lets see you give it a new one, hmm?

Haha. Ok. So Least I Could Do is yet another webcomic featuring the wacky misadventures of a social misfit. It's also yet another webcomic created by two people, ostensibly an artist and a writer. The funny thing about that is, I'm pretty sure some post-it notes got mixed up just before the comic started and the two of them ended up in the opposite jobs. Take a look at this comic - an attempt to fit two jokes into three panels, foiled by terrible delivery, mysteriously squished fonts, out-of-order speech bubbles, and unbelievably ugly art.

I don't want to just pick on individual comics; even a good comic (if such a thing existed) could have bad days. So let's look at the content in general. At the beginning of the archives, the main character's a completely unlikeable womanizer, who is obviously supposed to come across as witty and cool, but fails terribly because the writer can't write. Despite his repulsive personality, he frequently succeeds in picking up women because he's transparently living the juvenile fantasy life of his author.

At this point I get bored with the generic, mildly offensive proto-comic and jump through the archives to see how it evolves. It looks like it tries to emulate sluggy freelance and puts its characters in wacky pop-culture parody situations and I close the browser tab. I admit, I've never managed to read more than a few comics of this strip at a time. If you want me to give it a second look, link me to a specific storyline or something. What you think is the best part of the comic.

You'll have to provide a link if it's an obscure comic. Google tells me this is the name of a star trek episode.

I'm going to go grab some lunch and do some work, but I'll come back to this one.
