    Curse you; I just lost 5 hours reading this comic. You should be more careful when posting links. *I say sarcasticly*
    Yeah, it takes you like that. There's a reason I only allowed myself to read it on Friday/Saturday nights when I first discovered it!

    Wait, where were we...? Oh, yeah. Chloroform. (Warhammer 40k meets Sonic with a healthy dash of dark humor. Go ahead. Click it. You know you wanna.)
    When will I lean not to click on the f***ing link for webcomics? Thanks a bunch, I really needed to bring my webcomic daily reading to nearly 30.

      Glad to be of service.
      What is worse is that I did not realize it was a daliy comic until hour 10.

      TEN HOURS and I am only too the 18 month mark of a strip that has ran continuously since January 1, 2006. I figure that at the current rate of speed, I will finish the archive in about a month.

      I still love the strip, just wish it did not take a month to read.
      I might be crazy, but I'm not Insane.

      What? You don't play with flamethrowers on the weekends? You are strange.

        Yeah. It's a newspaper comic, and I presume it's still running as such. Some comics *must...not....link*, especially those which were web-based to begin with, have archives set up that allow you to view an entire week's worth at once, which *really* helps.

        I'll be merciful and not post the rest of my reading list until the weekend Feel free to do the same.

        ProTip: If one of your dailies is Dilbert (a newspaper comic), go to the base URL and add /fast/ after the .com to access a special version they set up that doesn't have all of the Flash/animation/blog/comments/BS on it, and usually just a single banner ad (for the inhouse store). Still day-by-day, but it does have a calendar/date selector on it. Note that it's about as old as The Simpsons is, and it's a daily, as well. Fair warning. I saved myself some trouble and just picked up the compilation book (Dilbert 2.0) when I found it on sale for like $40 a few years back.

          I don't know if the profit center difference between admissions and concessions is as large in your theaters as it is in first-runs, but how are you gonna sell popcorn to passed out custys? See? You aren't thinking managerese. The key to this situation IS your fault. It doesn't matter if you only have two patrons, sell them each twenty-seven combos*, and Bob's your Uncle!

            You know, we could be real evil and link Sluggy Freelance, which has a stupid huge archive. Or PvP. Or both.

              I have no idea what she was thinking.
              We are all assuming she is thinking in the first place Come to think of it, we're assuming she is capable of intelligent thought.
              Seriously though, art houses typically have to have either a nearby student ghetto or a government grant to stay afloat.

                GK: Yup and yup. I actually need to check out SF, I've known about it forever, but I just never sat down and read it.

                I didn't mention Jack (or Oglaf) because I was trying to stay SFW, and it's very much not No longer on my reading list, but I've done the binge on those. NOTE: Both of those are 18+ only, with a bullet, so yung'uns would be advised to stay clear. Google at your own risk (Don't even think about linking them or anything like them btw)

                      Since we're plugging webcomics, I'd like to add Multiplex and Unshelved, both of which cover CS territory often.

                            I did read Unshelved once, but then the main character had a kid. Boy, that was the ugliest baby ever drawn!

                                Forgot penny arcade in my earlier list. Currently binging on Questionable Content, now that I finally started reading it. Only got thru the first 400 strips this evening. I feel like such a wuss.
