    it is easy to find webcomics worse than xkcd

    but xkcd is so pervasive

    probably because it encourages that little culture of inclusion among nerds of all types

    one kid brought it up as a discussion point in a boring philosophy class and i was silently thinking oh god it has spilled into my real life now

    i dunno, tossrock. the previous one is fucking awful and the current one is very bad too!!

    v:)v

    Sturgeon's law may say 90% of everything is crap (and really this is probably an underestimate) but it also says that 10% of everything isn't.

    The newest xkcd is better than most of them. Mostly because he's being a stuck-up know-it-all like always, but this time it's gonna have bad consequences.

    It's still not very good, because it feels like a set-up without a punchline. It'd be pretty good if there was a little less text in the panel and a second panel just showing the jackass getting beat by an interrogator or something.

    Also someone should post that "hot math slut" xkcd parody because it is very funny.

    I think anymore would be unnecessary
    You know something bad is going to happen
    And this way lets you use your imagination

    a very bad webcomic is that one with the dog who somehow gets human awareness and she encounters species-discrimination and makes out with her owner who's like twelve

    also it's all a metaphor for transgenderism or something

    "Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but nothing left to take away."

    this is true in general and doubly true in regards to humor

    I think I remember somebody making CAD actually funny by cutting it down to one panel and taking out all the dialog or something

    there was a site devoted to that for a while, but I think they shut it down due to lack of interest or whatever

    but I'm pretty sure the shittiness of the comic isn't why people hate it

    He was kind of a goof.

    I try to pay attention to what gets people mad at him, and pick up tips on what not to do.

    Same deal with Lucky Cynic.

    Like Rane said, it and white noise kinda overlap

    They are the posters that are there a good portion of the time and they might be an entity off the forums as well, but they have no significant identity.

    what does blue collar poster even entail

    hipster / stupid teen

    a blue collar poster is someone who makes the posts that gotta get made

    they're up on the latest jokes and drama and so forth, and still remember some of the old times

    they produce a regular stream of acceptable posts

    you would have a beer with them in a bar in middle america

    a white noise poster is the cheap korean knock off of a blue collar poster

    their jokes are just slightly overused

    you get the feeling they probably don't know why they're laughing when someone mentions their brother at MIT hacking the forums

    they ask someone to draw them and get ignored

    they probably joined in 2007 and have about 9000 posts
