    comicstripsWith the massive exodus towards online publishing, many people hardly reach for the newspaper these days. If there’s one thing I truly miss from the newspaper, it would be reading the comic strips.

    There’s something magical about comic strips that seems to lighten your day and make you feel good. There’s certainly something to be said about starting your day with a bit of humor.

    I figured that we’re so immersed in the Internet that it would be cool to compile a list of funny strips related to web design, the Internet and of course blogging.

    Lol I like these. Should I be worried if some of these seem awfully familiar? :-) . I love 5 and 6 because reminds me of a colleague of mine. 6 especially since I’m a PC user.

    Now this is the way every Friday should start off. Excellent stuff. I’m sitting here with my coffee just shaking my head…fearful because some of these hit so close to home. Haha!

    Next time you should include some stuff by Brad Colbow (http://www.bradcolbow.com/). His stuff is well illustrated and the content is top notch too!

    Really funny stuff and helped me procrastinate for a little bit. I have a recommendation, if you’re a freelancer like myself, you need to read Freelanceswitch.com’s Freelance Freedom:
    http://freelanceswitch.com/freelance-freedom/

    They’re very funny and you will get all of the jokes mainly if you’re a freelancer.
