Anyone got any great suggestions for daily amusement fixes? Dilbert and xkcd taken as standard of course...

I started reading [url=www.sluggy.com]Sluggy [/url]a few years back, though i did eventually have to go back and read years of back story to catch up.

+1 for Ctrl Alt Del, if you're into gaming. Updated Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

[url= http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ ]Hyperbole and a Half[/url] - I've seen grown men crying with laughter over this blog. I particularly recommend the post[url= http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/11/dogs-dont-understand-basic-concepts.html ]"Dogs don't understand basic concepts like moving"[/url]. Sadly not updated daily.

Excellent selection. Ctrl-Alt-Del was great and Sluggy looks good for a late evening read through a story.

Off to check our Penny Arcade now..

I particularly recommend the post"Dogs don't understand basic concepts like moving".

Thanks for that. I read this back when if was first published, and promptly forgot what it was and have never been able to find the site again. Win.

http://www.smbc-comics.com/#comic

All good suggestions so far, xkcd, c&h, cad, but smbc is by far my favourite. Brilliant mix of philosophy, science, boobs, religion, and dick jokes.

Raiding my bookmarks,

Ctrl-Alt-Del you've all said.

[url= http://eddirt.frozenreality.co.uk ]Edible Dirt[/url] is a series of (usually questionable) single-frame cartoons. Sorta like a twisted Far Side.

[url= http://www.leasticoulddo.com ]Least I could do[/url] is an ongoing plot arc strip which is really funny. You kinda need to start at the beginning for it to make any sense though. See also, [url= http://questionablecontent.net ]Questionable Content[/url]; not laugh-out-loud funny per se but an endearing geeky soap-opera of a strip.

[url= http://darthsanddroids.net ]Darths and Droids[/url] is Star Wars rescripted by a fictional Dungeons & Dragons group, but much more well done than you'd think.

[url= http://www.darklegacycomics.com ]Dark Legacy[/url] is basically a World of Warcraft spoof. Hysterical if you've played it, pointless if you haven't.

[url= http://www.oglaf.com ]OGLAF[/url] is, ah, really really not safe for work.

That's a recognised phenomenon, it's the User Friendly Productivity Virus.

I'm stunned that no one has mentioned this gem yet: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/

Good artwork and a huge plot

I've really got into this, it's only weekly but is gloriously surreal whilst actually having a story to it, as it's just turned out...

Did you fall down the rabbithole where they tangent off into alternate cartoon strips?

Thankfully I stuck to "Revelation of the Sith".

Otherwise I'd still be reading!
