Most sprite comics suck like no other. Bob and George was like, the first one, though. It was funny when I was a kid, but I haven't been back in ages. 8-Bit Theater is legitimately funny and a good send up of Final Fantasy to boot, though.

*sigh* I miss Lucid TV.
It's been seven years since I was part of the scene, so things have probably changed since then, but back in the day, you could count the number of well adjusted webcomic creators on the fingers of a single hand that had been in a freak blender accident.

I legitimately lol'd. I gotta read more of this.*sigh* I miss Lucid TV.
Well yeah, of course, the landscape seven years ago was totally different. I'm talking currently. The normal ones are heavily outnumbered, mind, but we exist. I'd probably need to add fingers to my hands to count all the normal webcomic artists I know.
More for my list:
Kate from Hark! A Vagrant
Emmy who does mostly art but also jam comics with Anthony, Matt, etc
Matt from BlueNose
Noelle from Nimona
So far that's 12, not including myself, and I'm sure there are more if we start to include journal comics too. More than are countable on a hand caught in a blender at least

Good luck. I've just been trying to find an archive since they've all been taken down but no luck yet.

Oh noooooo D:
Shocked and amazed other people read Captain SNES. thought it deserved another recommendation.
It also sadly only updates about two or three times a month, sometimes less. We'll probably all die of old age before its finished, but its definitely worth the read. While its only kinda funny at times, its actually got a surprisingly decent plot.
The author himself at least acknowledges this point. The fun of Captain SNES is that it doesn't just mock Captain N, but also all other similar cartoons of that era.

Where would Randall Munroe and Andrew Hussie fall? Munroe seems pretty level-headed. Hussie's a bit weird, but doesn't seem too bad.Well yeah, of course, the landscape seven years ago was totally different. I'm talking currently.

Aren't there more GAFman comics? They demand a repost.
I really like Happle Tea, mostly good mythology humor.

It took a little time to hit it's stride so you could skip some of the earlier comics, but I really enjoy it now.
(I also like the art style, obviously.)

The Internet would be a much more preferable place if everyone read Nedroid on a regular basis.

The first comic of the reboot:
WELP still bad.
Okay, he's moved up from rock bottom to just above rock bottom in terms of my respect for him.

I don't know them or their work well enough to say. I mean I love me some xkcd but I don't really know / follow the creator, and I've sadly never read MSPaint Adventures but I have heard the creator is a nice guy.
"I can never stop screaming." just made me LOL so hard.Yes, yes it is.
I fucking love Nedroid so much, it's one of my absolute favorite comics. And Anthony is a deceptively talented artist. Nedroid is this really simply drawn comic, some might even say it's bad art, but the guy can draw and paint like a god.
He rebooted the comic into new characters. I'm not gonna defend him being a disgusting asshole but this much was made very clear - everything with Ethan and the gang is over. Crtl-Alt-Del is now about games again, no more on-going stories or drama or Ethan. I don't know why he'd have to wait any specific amount of time before starting again.

He has this four-panel format going generally that I don't care for, but the art style is boss

Wait, the end was a lie?
I feel so used.
Nedroid is amazing and I don't even know why. It'll be the randomest shit and I'll just bust up laughing.

He's playing the FarmVille-esque MLP game that's available on iOS (hence he's playing it on a tablet). At the same time, though, it's a pretty awful comic. Especially if you didn't know about the MPL game.
No. Old CAD is over. There's no more Ethan. CAD is about games again. The Players are the new focus. He ended Ethan's shit and rebooted it into something new.
Technically it is a lie though because Ethan WILL be back but not in CAD, in different comic-book comics.
Also just LOL'd at that amazing Nedroid comic you posted. Literally all of them make me laugh so hard. He new one with Future Reginald was fucking brilliant.

But why play such a game if you don't like MLP?
Actually why am I even bothering to ask.
Holy shit this one got me good. I'm grinning like an idiot trying to hold in my laughter at work.Wait, the end was a lie?

Tell me that's a pisstake of CAD. Because it sure looks like it. If it came out before that last CAD did... then blah blah copyright etc.Also just LOL'd at that amazing Nedroid comic you posted. Literally all of them make me laugh so hard. He new one with Future Reginald was fucking brilliant.
PS. That's probably the best recommendation I've seen here. I nearly pissed myself at both of those comics. Hopefully they're indicative of regular quality and not the highest peaks.
Not that there is a discrete definition of "reboot", meaning he can call it whatever he wants, but is there anything about this new comic that says it couldn't have appeared before the reboot? I'm pressing the "random" button on his site and while most of what appears does feature his characters, occasionally he's just commenting on something and doesn't use them. This "reboot" just seems to be turning the comic into all those.
But this doesn't really mean anything. I'm sure there would have been ways to do a "reboot" with all the characters intact too.
It's pretty obviously just a parody of general "Grim and Dark future" time travel stories.
Not everything is about CAD, especially as CAD hardly is the only comic or story to do that.
Now that I really think about it, the CAD reboot pretty much ended the same way Bigger Than Cheeses did, which I wouldn't put it past him since BTC really leaned into making fun of CAD :lol
Future version of the main character comes back, kills things
MegaTokyo is still going?

I don't think I've ever read a Nedroid comic that I didn't like. I don't always laugh out loud at them but they ALWAYS make me smile and more often than not they do make me laugh.
Nedroid is special because Anthony doesn't rely on sex or cursing or gross humor for his comics. They're all very genuine, not really family-friendly as in for kids, but still never inappropriate. It's just a very kind of... pure, good-natured comic. I absolutely adore it.
I was thinking that too, his use of the term "reboot" is pretty loose. I guess if we want to get down to it he's rebooting the Ethan shit (in the future) and refocusing CAD onto the Gamers.
