Web comics that aren't horrible.

You may be saying to yourself: "Sarah, all web comics are horrible. You know that, I know that, everybody knows that", and I agree with you for the most part. On the whole, web comics are for straight-up nerds (not the good kind of nerd, either). However, we must remember that there are exceptions to any rule (let's not be ignorant, guys).

Here are the top-five web comics that are actually mildly entertaining (believe it or not):

5. Dinosaur Comics. Dinosaur Comics is talking dinosaurs, and there's no way that's not funny. Ryan North is the artist, and has used the same dinosaur template for every comic for years. It's pretty impressive.
4. A Softer World. A Softer World is made using photos instead of drawings. Emily takes the photos, and Joey does the writing. These kids give Victoria a good name (unlike some people *cough*Furtado*cough*).
3. Elephantitis of the Mind. My good friend Kev Sweeting hooked me up with this gem. Asher Sarlin is a friggin pro.
2. Perry Bible Fellowship. PBF is probably one of the more obscure web comics out there (but not in the 'paint my nails with a sharpie and wear fishnets under my Tool t-shirt' kind of obscure). This one is particularly great to read because the artist, Nicholas Gurewitch, is constantly switching up his drawing styles. What'll his comic look like today? Nobody knows.
1. Natalie Dee/ Toothpaste for Dinner/ Married to the Sea. You guys already knew about these, right? Thought so. Our good friends Natalie and Drew have been pretty much owning web comics for years now... Plus their dogs are outstanding.
