I didn't find that even vaguely funny, soz - it's actually worse than Running With Scissors! - if that's even possible.

I do find some online comics amusing, just not these particular ones.

What is a sudo sandwich anyway?, shouldn't it be Pseudo?, unless I completely misinterpreted the 'joke'.

Agreed, most online comics are bad but this just . . .

... I presume that's what it's about, unless I completely misinterpreted the 'joke' too!

If that is what it's all about, then now I just want to punch the cartoonist! - he's brought shame upon his whole family with that one.

Sorry Nick, if you you find it funny then more power to you, but this vague, geeky comedy should be banished from our modems and replaced with something that is funny to >0.0001% of the world population.

I fooloishly went to the first comic in that list, thinking perhaps I needed to read more to get a better scope of what the creator is really doing. The sandwich one is about the best in the lot (except the one of a tree with a chainsaw). Saddly they stunk, even worse than Cathy, and I hate that strip (though I read it everyweek hoping that that part of my funnies has not yet again been wasted).

i like some of xkcd... but that one didn't even produce a chuckle

my favourite xkcd
Velociraptors
It's 2x funnier when you are currently enrolled in a physics class (well, done now w00t!)

One man, one lawnmower, plenty of angry groundhogs.

Well I suppose everyone has a unique sense of humour... Some more unique than others

I personally really like xkcd - although I do admit that not ALL of his strips are brilliant.
