I'm a big fan of Penny Arcade.

I've liked "Monty"..used to be "Robot Man"..when it first came out..about 25 years ago.  Know that it's syndicated..but have no idea how widely read it is.

Think it would appeal to many "gearhead" mentalities..perhaps with a "nerdy" tendency?? (like myself??)

[Dont want to step on anyone's toes here..but I just can't get the point of "Get Fuzzy"..other than it being about a sadistic talking cat..that's always wailing on a stupid dog..with an owner that seems to have about the same intelligence as the dog????   The graphics/illustration seems outstanding though..but that's all I've ever been able to reckon is the reason for it's popularity]

Finally..speaking of "comics"..it seems to me that our Japanese cousins..put out about the best comics/Manga available nowadays.

Oh yeah, I think that one was in our local "Toons" paper, it was usually good for a chuckle.

The City by Derf is good for a laugh or two.
