Readers pick best webcomic: The Littlest Hashshashin
Curses, Tycho and Gabe, now we really wish Assassin's Crossing was real. It would be so much fun. The duo's Penny Arcade strip from last week, "The Littlest Hashshashin" took top honors in this week's webcomic wrapup, likely for the second frame alone. (We're not going to spoil it, just click the link yourself and find out.)Second and third place go to 2P Start and Awkward Zombie, respectively.

Readers pick best webcomic: Undisputed Champion
Most of you got the joke. Obviously, some of the commenters were a bit clueless, but 2P Start's satire Undisputed Champion took top honors as the most popular webcomic of the week. For those of you who did not click on the "for context" link and were left in the dark: last week, 2P Start discovered our secret W.W.W. formula and decided to put it to good use this week. And, sure enough, the formula worked. Maybe you voted against it because it was asked in bold letters for you not to vote just below the comic and you did so out of spite. Regardless, a big thanks to Ray and Tim for basing a two-week strip on our little webcomic feature, we're as always a bit humbled.Awkward Zombie took second place, but since it was a two-parter we're electing to call it two half-wins for the webcomic -- it's still cumulates to one whole win. Penny Arcade took third. A special nod goes to Weird Comix for good writing.A note about the Fanboys strip: as I explained in the comments (and later linked in the post), a clerical error had caused the comic to be overlooked. Apologies to Scott Dewitt, it will be thrown into next week's runnings. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomic you stumble upon this week!
Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: winning formula edition
Originally, we planned on making this an "awkward moments" edition, whereby we find M-rated game screens with suggestively AO moments (e.g. Bowser belly-flopping / dry-humping in Smash Bros. Melee). However, 2P Start has unwittingly discovered the formula for success in the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup. Curses, our plans are foiled!It'd be unfair to put their comic in the running this week, as knowing the formula means they couldn't possibly lose. Registered voters should heed the call for a change of taste.Here are our other picks for the week's best game-related webcomics; be sure to vote for your favorite!
