Strongbad E-mail - Updated Mondays, flash comic

The Life of Riley - Updated 3 days a week, rather odd, but I read the entire strip out of boredom here at work

PvP Online - 7 times a week, still catching up in the archives

Joy of Tech - 3 days a week, Mac oriented

And the above linked UserFriendly and Penny Arcade.

PVP is the only one I read, though I used to check out User Friendly.

Yes, Strongbad E-mail and the entire Homestar Runner site. If you watch everything on the site, it all becomes THAT much more funny.

The latest strip is a real classic

I think user friendly is(was?) my favorite online comic, but Argon Zark is the first one that I remember. I think it started up around '95 or '96 and was on all of those "top one hundred sites to visit when you get your first modem" lists.

Cool. Though I usually just download the SWF's and use SWFdec to pull out the sounds in MP3 format. Works well for 95% of the StrongBad emails which are just one long MP3. Doesn't work as well when there are other sounds embedded in the SWF that are repeated.

Sadly it doesn't look like the download site has all the SB emails, just selected quotes. Oh well. If anyone wants the SB emails in MP3 format, I can probably host them somewhere... I already graduated so it's not like I'll mind if my school pulls my web page down.
