The Eagle Awards fan poll<\/a> is out for comics this-n-that. For most of the questions, I was amazed by how few name\/titles I recognized (and not just on the British side of things), but then I hit this:<\/p>\n

\n

29. Award for Favourite Web-Based Comic<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. GIRL GENIUS<\/li>\n
  2. PENNY ARCADE<\/li>\n
  3. PVP<\/li>\n
  4. THE ADVENTURES OF DR. MCNINJA<\/li>\n
  5. THE ORDER OF THE STICK<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Hokey smokes! I love <\/em>four out of the five of those (never heard of #4, but that makes me think I should look it up). Choosing over the other is like choosing my “favourite food: filet mignon; apple crisp; pizza; rum raisin ice cream; cottage fried potatoes” — it’s a matter of what I’m in the mood for and which I’d cry most over never eating again, I guess. <\/p>\n

    Girl Genius <\/a><\/em>is epic, whacky, luscious, and produced by a favorite of mine. Penny Arcade <\/a><\/em>is mordant, witty, surreal, and oddly profound at times. PvP<\/a> <\/em>is always entertaining, often spit-takingly so. Order of the Stick <\/a><\/em>is manages to bridge philosophy, D&D satire, grand adventure, and sniggering humor. They’re all <\/em>good.<\/p>\n

    I finally went with #1, but I highly recommend all of the other three I didn’t vote for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
