moosey @ Apr 14th 2007 5:19PM
wow, the bran age one actually made me lol
Grog @ Apr 14th 2007 5:21PM
Hmm... I guess I don't see point of penis humor. =/
Why does it seem like Slackerz is always a mix of Nintendo systems and homosexual humor? Is it just the couple I've seen here?
kickee @ Apr 14th 2007 5:51PM
from across the big pond, it's me from belgium! hooray, first european!
Mr Khan @ Apr 14th 2007 5:53PM
slackerz definitely in first place
But the one about the other enemies of mario was good too
the rest, eh...

Andrew Hsieh @ Apr 14th 2007 6:31PM
@17: I can't say I love Fanboys, but that one made me laugh. Good show.
Anyway, I'm from the Silicon Valley, and that Slackers one rocks. I've never read it before, but I guess I will now.
...Jan Medi... @ Apr 14th 2007 6:37PM
Las Vegas, NV !
Anyway, it was between Dueling Analogs and Slackerz for me.
Then I realized, Brain Age came out a while ago. So the Paper Mario joke wins my vote.
Posted via Wii.

I'm from the ancient celtic nation of Cornwall.
MrBeejeezus @ Apr 14th 2007 7:05PM
Cornwall.
Quick hide the sheep!
Limpy loves the cock so slackers gets my vote.
Oh btw dont ask why I have sheep im my room.
LongshotX @ Apr 14th 2007 7:12PM
Yeah I am in Florida, how'd you know? Now is that pointing to Jacksonville or Lake City?
minus_273 @ Apr 14th 2007 7:24PM
Slackers.
Kathmandu, Nepal
electronic @ Apr 14th 2007 7:25PM
@MrBeeJeezus
Why do you have sheep in your room? I hope you don't think the Cornish are Welsh ;). It's the pasties you got to hide (unless they're made by Ginsters then the emmets can have them).
Uffuff @ Apr 15th 2007 6:07AM
This time I actually had some difficulty in choosing. Good stuff! I am from Norway!
Adam @ Apr 14th 2007 7:31PM
Awwwww, I wanted to vote for three different ones: Cyanide and Happiness, Slackerz, and Digital Unrest were all pretty good.
How long do you think it'll take before the fanboys jump in and vote up a storm for PA?
/not that I don't like PA
//ended up with Slackerz, if only for Dr. Kawashima's sexual advice
///from Pensacola, FL, BTW

Concerned, Which is no longer written, but still very funny.

And God Mode, which should be in the wrapup but never is.

Holy crap...I can't believe my comic is actually on this list! Thanks to the 1% of the voters who voted for me! :P

London, England.
I voted for Slackerz.
John @ Apr 14th 2007 9:03PM
Wow. Amazing that people are publishing this crap. IT's not even funny. THe best one was Slackerz(sp) which understandably got the most votes. I wrote my two friends from high school, who I used to do comics with. We are taking these people DOWN.

Canberra, Australia.
That's the national captial(NOT Sydney) for those of you who are geologically challenged.
ncxcstud @ Apr 14th 2007 9:51PM
I voted for Slackerz -
One of the view comics to actually make me laugh. Twas good, because it's (in a way) so true.
Lexington, SC here

Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the solid matter of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.
Geography (from the Greek words Geo (γη) or Gaea (γαια), both meaning "Earth", and graphein (γραφειν) meaning "to describe" or "to write"or "to map") is the study of the earth and its features and of the distribution of life on the Earth.
You know - it's been quite a while since I've had the fortune of being able to point out something like this. Thanks for showing that your command of the language is somewhat less than average.
And I voted for rpg-tv. I have a positive IQ already, so Slackerz didn't do much for me.
Kritz @ Apr 14th 2007 11:13PM
Tassie, Australia (No laughing >_>)
And duh, I voted for Slackerz's Brainage. Because no matter how sophisticated the world gets, a penis joke can overthrow it all.
Jay @ Apr 14th 2007 11:20PM
Aw, crap I accidentally voted for the extralife one and not the Brain age one! I wish there was a way to undo that vote.
Scott Smith @ Apr 15th 2007 12:32AM
The reason why our Brain Age comic was partially a big penis joke is because this kind of really happened. When I wrote "cart", the DS recognized it as "cock". If you don't write the "a" clearly, it can be misread as an "o", if you write the r at an angle, it could be read as a "c", and with the "t", if the horizontal slash is tilted ever so slightly, it comes out as a "k" every time.
So after about five or six "cock" results, this comic became inevitable. It's not like penis jokes are all we can do, folks. :P
Although I understand why some would jeer. No biggie.
Ritz @ Apr 15th 2007 2:15AM
You've already asked this question not too long ago =o
Almadi @ Apr 15th 2007 2:44AM
KSA, and have a comic of my own:

shivr @ Apr 15th 2007 3:19AM
wait... people think the brain training one was funny?
The only one that made me even crack a smile was the paper mario one... even PA was -fail-

Bob-Bong FTW.
Wow, this week's voting results actually makes sense!
SevenFold @ Apr 15th 2007 6:37AM
Yet another Slackerz vote from the icy wastes of Finland ;).
Demaar @ Apr 15th 2007 6:45AM
Wow, for once I agree with the rest of the voters, this slackerz was pretty amusing.

Chrysis --
I really felt, between the two entries, that the "mausoleum" comic was the funnier of the pack. Of course, for everyone else, here's the link to the other RPG-TV comic in question

What do you think?
