We don’t get the newspaper at my house, and for a while, I was quite jealous of all those people who got to read comics every morning with breakfast. Then, along came the internet…
Some of my favourite online comics are:
Dinosaur Comics
These ones can be slightly geeky comics, but they’re still generally funny to everyone. The actual visuals of Dinosaur comics never change, but the author always makes sure that the text of the day matches the image. You can find them here: www.qwantz.com
xkcd
Another geeky comic, this one more so. You’ll probably get the most out of it if you’ve every coded for Linux and have a degree in Physics… I still like them, even if I only fit one of the criteria 🙂 Also, make sure to mouse over the image to see the alt text, which can either be another funny addition to the comic, or the authors thoughts. xkcd.com
P.S. If you really like it, there’s a free iPhone/iPod Touch app.
The Oatmeal
This (a grizzly bear with swords for teeth driving a dump truck) is apparently the only thing more awesome than pigs. How do I know this? The Oatmeal is funny and informative. Beware, the author uses mild profanities on occasion in his comics. The content of his website does not reflect the opinion of YouthAreAwesome and/or Child and Youth Friendly Calgary. theoatmeal.com
So, if you need a break from studying, go find some comics online. Laughter is good for you 🙂
