that is surprising.

i gave it a passing mention here, once, but nothing noticeable.

xkcd is pretty freakin' awesome, though

Cool, keep those obscure webcomics coming. Here's another one: Garfield Minus Garfield.

And this is my desktop:

neither xkcd or garfield minus garfield are obscure

especially not the latter, since it was digged like mad earlier this year

www.asofterworld.com

maybe a little more obscure

Hell yes, I was rather amazed reading latter posts : D. Btw xkcd #505 is my recent favorite.

Neat. As a geek, I've never heard of that one before ... you'd think it'd come up on Slashdot or something.

Anyway, my desktop:

My wallpaper is from a fairly obscure webcomic, called "8-bit Theater."
Franky, you should check it out. It's at www.nuklearpower.com

Oh, thanks for the link. I've heard about that comic before, but never really got into it. Seems good though.
Here's another one that I read:

Quite old now (the last strip was in 2004), but it's still awesome. I've read the entire thing many times, but I still go back and read it again time and time again.

Oh, thanks for those. I'll look into those too.

EDIT: two other comics I read that I forgot to mention;

Sorry Franky i'm a lamer in BBCode

Not only is it a Valk cutaway, it's the BEST Valk cutaway!

All hail the VF-1J!

IMHO it is VF-1X (Veritech Fighter 1X model)

But the X isn't a single model. Any Valkyrie with the upgraded avionics and engines is a 1X, regardless of model. You can't identify an X from a cutaway sketch, only plot content.

The head module is the giveaway, really. The triangle face plate and twin lasers are only on the J head. Which is what makes the J more awesomer than the A and S models, since Macross doesn't do that silly custom unstoppable prototype crap.

And yes, I'm a raging nerd.
And you said Veritech! EWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, I'm using this as wallpaper right now:

In keeping the webcomic theme running, it's from http://threepanelsoul.com/ , the comic by those guys that used to do Mac Hall.
