Brian posted a link to this one (http://drmcninja.com) the other day and I read all of them.
Nearly Shit myself laughing.
Is anyone else a fan.

Also, did anyone also spend an otherwise productive 10 hours reading the entire Dominic Deegan Series?

I did read the dr. mcninja articles in the lab instead of doing important chemistry, and they were indeed hilarious, especially the little blurbs accompanying each strip that shows up if you held your mouse over it.

I've been reading Dominic for a good long 2 years now though.

I concur that Dr. McNinja makes people sh*t themselves (laughing that is) and I have read DD's archives three times.

I'm about a month behind on Dr. McNinja and probably two years behind on Dominic Deegan. That's what I'll do next week when I'm not painting the shed.

Yeah I'm a fan as well it's one of my favourite webcomics.

Does anyone else know people just like his brother?
The latest storyline's my favourite (doctors on raptors and jetpack bodybuilders) in particular this strip.http://drmcninja.com/issue3/3p34.gif

Though the later one where he gets his kid sidekick who claims he grew his mustache through sheer force of will was good too and the one after that where once again, he thinks he's Batman.

I'm very VERY selective about what webcomics I read on a regular basis. This one is now in the small but potent group. HURRAH!

That comic is awesome! Haven't been reading for long, but... damn! That issue 0 was great. This isn't a sword... it's a rocket launcher.

To me, it wasn't laugh out loud funny, but not much is. 8-Bit gets that prize every about 20 comics or so.

But it was still amazingly awesome. So insanely, amazingly, brilliantly, spectacularly, magnificently, awesomely great.

Of course. That is the most addictive strip ever.

I've been on an archive rampage lately. I found Dominic about a week ago, then I found Sluggy Freelance. (So many strips. It updates daily and has gone on for over 8 years. I have nothing to do all day, and it still took me three days to get though the whole thing.) Then I found a cool comic called Dungeons and Dorks the other day. And now I'm starting this one.

Dr. McNinja's absolutely hysterical. Even without the alt-text. I love the innovation and the blatantly nonsensical humor. I wish more comic strips more innovatively stretched the limits of our imaginations. It's obvious the author/artist is just having loads of fun, at the expense of all logic, and that's the kind of comic strip I can attach myself to.

Dominic has its...up and down moments for me. Overall I think it's a strip you definitely need to read in large chunks, as opposed to checking daily for the updates...because on a daily basis, the comic just moves slow -- a lot seems to happen, but very little seems to change. You have to wait until a plot arc actually finishes and read the whole arc all at once to comprehend it accurately (otherwise you'll be misled far too often into believing false deaths and feigned plot twists, which happens exceedingly often these days.) In that sense I consider DD almost more of a neverending novel that merely happens to be presented in comic form than a webcomic itself. There's something very different about its flow and pacing.

But the characters are amazing -- and I absolutely adore how DD's author maintains a strict continuity for his world and his many intricate plots. Sometimes I get the impression as I'm reading that the author planned the whole damn storyline well in advance, because his meticulous attention to detail and his painstakingly-crafted character personalities really show great depth -- and great patience.

I have to say that I don't like the newest story as much as the other parts. Biological jetpacks are not as awesome as shamrock throwing-stars. It's still good, but it's lost some of that fresh new comic smell, I believe.

Of course. That is the most addictive strip ever.Not to get completely off-topic (that is, actually, to say that I don't want to look like I'm getting off-topic when I actually am), but how many of us here didn't read Nuklear Power in one sitting?

It's a great read. Its a well drawn comic and I laugh at the little jokes they have in it. Including McNinja's father who has his mustache on the outside of his cowl, his kid brother's ninja name or a glory hogging weather man.

McNinja's father's mustache reminds me of MGS4

I found 8-bit theater, what was it, 4 years ago, during the elf land arc, I read the archives while i was supposed to be watching birth of a nation, a movie that moderately glorified the KKK. Interesting dichotomy, don't you think?

I was going to admonish you for your horrible off-topicness, but I'd be missing the chance to admonish you for your horrible abuse of the word 'dichotomy'.

Seriously, I don't even know what you're trying to say.

Ontopic, is it just me or is the new comic (http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=2&issue=4) really cool even for Dr McNinja.

"I'm gonna paint an adorable bunny on the wall right now.
In your adorable blood"- Papa McNinja

I mean just look at his face..............uh well his eyes and mustache anyway.

And on the offtopic, I read 8-Bit in 2 sittings, and found it through the VG Cats guest comic and links.

The humor, although a little childish at times, still constantly cracks me up, and the art is excellent.

It's one of the 9 comics that I read regularly.

Later 'cause I'm bored EDIT: 12 comics, actually.
