Web Comics

Web comics are the reason the internet is not doomed. Here's a few good ones.

Scary Go-round by John Allison is a webcomic about strange goings on in Tackleford. I lived in a town outside Greater Manchester so it is eerily familiar. The "Looks, Brains & Everything" chapter is brilliant. Occasionally features mad scientist Tim Jones, inventor of the time-travelling teapot.

Questionable Content by Jeph Jaques. Slice of 20-somethings life in America plus Pint-Size. Pint-Size is an Anthro-pc, an AI robot with an attitude, so there must be a mad scientist in there somewhere.

Narbonic by Shaenon K. Garrity. Mad scientist Helen Narbon takes on the world. Now finished so you can read the whole thing in the archives, or there's a Director's Cut repeat.

Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. Agatha Heterodyne lives in a world ravaged and remade by mad scientists (called "Sparks") and is on the road to discover her heritage. Brilliant.

xkcd A webcomic of romance,sarcasm, math, and language. Also sometimes the science is, well, mad.

Sluggy Freelance by Pete Abrams. Vampires, ninjas, witches, aliens, ghosts, demons, unkillable assassins, elves, robots, inflatable weapons, homicidal lop-ear bunnies and mad scientists. Nifty.
