A take this bad cannot be allowed to hide in the grays.

After Achewood #1, those next four would be #2, #3, #4, and what the SHIT is that hahahaha

If webcomics were grunge, Penny Arcade would be Nirvana (except of course for Kurt Cobain dying). I think it’s weird and inaccessible and uninteresting, but it’s hugely influential and I respect that it laid a lot of the groundwork for what came after it.

There can be argument over how large the gap is between Achewood in first and xkcd in second, but any other ordering I view with skepticism.

Fair point; when I think Get Fuzzy, I think cracking up in Barnes and Noble reading collections from the late 2000s; I haven’t been reading the more recent ones.

Haven’t read Scary Go Round, Penny Arcade has too many inside jokes I don’t understand, and C&H is a little too dark - the rest of my top five would include stuff like Dinosaur Comics and Existential Comics (and Triangle and Robert, what a trip that was) - but if someone who likes Achewood is willing to put something…

I like xkcd too much to refuse to acknowledge it entirely, but this is a legitimate and respectable take. You horse dogg maniac.

Bloom County, Fox Trot, and Pearls Before Swine above Get Fuzzy is a pretty hot take (especially since Pearls Before Swine is so similar to Get Fuzzy except with worse puns), but otherwise very little to complain about here. Certainly can’t argue with the top four.

Of all the amazing quotes in here, I think my favorite is when he implies that he won’t live to see his own Hall of Fame induction ceremony because he plans on playing so long that he will die fewer than five years after his retirement.

We should be thankful the reporter didn’t ask Gronk which one has better deep balls.

I have never felt more sympathy for Cowboys fans than I do at this very instant, having just finished this article.

LeBron James is a better overall basketball player than Michael Jordan.

1/2/4/5 I could have guessed, but dude...cobwebs in your hair? Shit, I’m sorry. That must suck.

I’ve thought of 6'2" being kinda right there as the tall threshold, probably because my dad is 6'2" so it represents some kind of crossing over into talldom. But certainly context-dependent makes sense.

As the self-proclaimed only 5'11" man in the world, I cannot begin to fathom the mindset that would cause a 5'10" guy to think he was not only tall but actually tall enough to be worthy of commenting on it a lot (which threshold I think is 6'4" or thereabouts).

Probably about 60% of NBA conversations between me and my friend.

maybe i’m just in a really good mood today (which I am), but this comment is fucking amazing and I’m actually crying laughing at work. thank you.

The Pistons are cooler than the Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings put together just from residual awesomeness of Rasheed Wallace. This is a confusing take.

Standoff with Jets - something something Erdogan - something something Bennie - something something Ronald Reagan firing the air traffic controllers.

I just took out my phone stopwatch and somehow got 0.36 seconds on the first try, which is weird - and I felt like I was just tapping start and then stop with absolutely no time to consider what else to do. I can’t even fathom even starting my swing in time, let alone considering whether or not I wanted to try to hit…
