Happy New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year!!!  Happy New Year everybody!!!  It's 11:54, so happy new year!  Hope it's splendid!  I (11:55) sincerely hope you are with the people you love, in the (11:56) place you fell at home, and are doing the things you (11:57) want to take with you as you enter this new year of 2008.  It's 11:58, happy New Year!

xkcd

Today's comic is one that my dad got me into, xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe.  The art is stick-figures and and in black and white, but the humor is so charming and, well, humor, that you're sort of obligated to read.  xkcd describes a way of life similar to my own, and similar to yours too I'm sure.  If it isn't, then take a look, maybe you'll learn something.  Hey, try it for yourself.

Count Your Sheep

Today's comic is one that got into a while ago, Count Your Sheep.  I stopped reading it for a while and lost track, but I finally got caught up yesterday so that I could reccomend it for you guys.  It's a sweet Calvin and Hobbes type comic, clever and a little more serious.  Heart warming, but also cynical and funny.  It's written and drawn by Adis, Adrian Ramos, who also writes (and used to draw) No Room for Magic, which I'll post on when it comes out of hiatus.  So visit Adis at Count Your Sheep, along with Katie, Ship, and Laurie.

8-bit Theatre

Sorry for taking so long to post today, I would give you an excuse but the truth of the matter is that I'm lazy.  So anyway, here's my recommended comic for today, 8-bit Theatre by Brian Cleavinger.  The link is Nuklear Power - Home of 8-bit Theatre.  This is a comic for long time final fantasy fans, or any video game fanatic.  It's a really funny comic about Square Enix's Final Fantasy I, all about the cast dealing with their  uncontrollable hate for each other.  Featuring all of your favorite characters, from black mage to black belt, this is a comic seriously worth looking at.  The only problem is that the entire strip is some 936 strips long, so trying to re-read them all to get up to date is going to take a while, not saying at all that it isn't worth while.

I also suggest that you go to newgrounds, and type in 8-bit theater.  The first five videos that show up are the really good ones, as they were created by nuclear power, but the rest are fan-made.  Well, enjoy.

Cyanide and Happiness

Today's comic is a suggested comic from one of the readers, Explosm.net - Comics.  These comics are drawn and written by four different artists Kris, Rob, Dave, and Matt.  Though their style are similar, after reading them for a while you begin to see the distinct differences between each.  Their comic, Cyanide and Happiness, is drawn simply and quickly, more like stick figures and doodles, but they get the point across and are in fact pretty funny.  Be conscious, adult humor.  

I happened to meet Kris at Comic-con of 2007, he's really nice.  He drew me in the cyanide and happiness style, it was really cool.  So take a look at this site, it's really pretty cool.

Dominic Deegan

Hello all, time to share today's comic, Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire.  I found it while digging around the applegeeks website, because the strip is written by Ananth, the writer for applegeeks, and drawn by one Mookie.  At first I was turned away because the art is only alright, but after reading a little more I found that the plot is pretty riveting.  It is a pretty cool set up, the title alone sparks interest.  Well, take a look if you like.

Gingerdead

Hello everyone, time for my comic of the day.  If you should check out The Book of Biff, you will probably find this link somewhere around it, gingerdead.com.  Gingerdead is a comic about a living gingerbread boy and all his friends, drawn and written by Calan Ree.  There aren't very many yet, so this is a good comic to start without spending hours reading to get up to date.  The characters are grim but cute, and each strip is subtle and funny.  This is another one of my regulars that I have to say I am hooked on, so check it out.

Snafu Comics

Good evening, everyone.  Tonight I'd like to share with you some comics that are some of my favorites.  The website is Snafu Comics, Updated Mondays, but you will find upon visiting that is a site filled with numerous comic strips.  I suggest you poke around their site and find the comics that suit you.  There are a lot of good artists posting there so a lot of the comics are worth looking at.  Snafu is a video game and movie comic, Tin is about an incompetent ninja, and I particularly enjoy all work by Bleedman, but all the others never seem to update.  As for the comics in the hiatus section, the comic called grim actually does update every sunday.  Each strip is worth spending a little time on, so take a look if you like.

The Book of Biff

Has anyone here not seen Sweeney Todd yet?  If not get out there and see it as soon as possible.  It's rated R, for those of you are squeamish, due to a lot of violence.  But as usual it's Tim Burton violence so it's more poetic than complete gore.  Anyway here is my recommended comic for today, The Book of Biff Webcomic.  This comic is suited for anyone really, it's a one panel strip, really funny in a cynical and smart sort of way.  Created by Chris Hallbeck, this is a comic I sincerely suggest you check out, as it is easy to read and enjoy.  Take a look, if you like.

Merry Cristmas

Merry Christmas, all.  I'm up still, waiting for Santa Claus.  More or less I can't fall asleep due to a suffocating cough.  I've been watching the santa tracker for fun, he's in San Francisco now.  He should be here any minute, I live in San Diego.  Now he's in Running Springs.  Better hit the sack, he knows when you are a sleeping.  G'night and merry christmas.

VG Cats

Hello everyone, though I'd share another comic with you today.  This one is a comic that all video game players should know about.  VG Cats - Updated Mondays, is a comic by Scott Ramsoomair critiquing new video games and movies.  Scott is a great artist and his comics are without fail painfully funny, when he remembers to update.  I admit that I check his sight for updates everyday, because honestly the wait is worth it.  Late posts aside, his comics are always delightful and easy to read.  Take a look if you like.

Enjoy,

Apple Geeks

Welcome to Grim's Guide, my name is Grim, and I will be assisting you in finding the webcomic that's right for you.  As a webcomic geek, it is my pleasure to post my first and favorite webcomic, AppleGeeks 3.0.  Applegeeks is a great comic for computer lovers, well at least apple users.  Written by Ananth Panagariya and art by Mohammad F. Haque, this is one of my all time favorites.  As it holds a wide variety characters and covers many topics, Applegeeks webcomic and Applegeeks Lite are deeply comedic and riveting.  But mostly down right funny.

Take a look if you like.
