Web comics

For thorough-going time sinkage...nothing beats webcomics. There's a comic out there for every lifestyle, hobby or fetish. Here are some of the ones I tend to flick through...

• The venerable Penny Arcade: for people who know far more about video games than is good for them.



• Piled Higher, and Deeper: for those who are currently winding their way through the guts of higher education like a slothful, malevolent tapeworm (extra points if you spot the reference).



• Something Positive: role-playing games, porn, dead-end jobs, two homicidal japanese women and a boneless cat. Say no more.



• Elf Only Inn: chatroom based role-playing games and the saddoes who frequent them. Not that great to be honest, but worth it for the Lord W00t character.



• The Least I Could Do: kinda like a web comic version of Friends...only funny. And two dimensional rather than one-dimensional.



• User Friendly: I don't read this, but a lot of people do. Aimed at geeks.



• Electric Sheep: All the other comics listed here are simply traditional comics posted on the web. E-Sheep is like an entirely new art-form.
