Finally finished reading Bob and George. Despite the larger than I am used to proportion of gay jokes (and a tranny joke in the second last year) I rather enjoyed it. Supposedly the very first sprite comic, I think it was also the first I have encountered to use animation and click-through strips.
It does take, I think, a rather long run-up to actually become funny, though, once all the references and plots begin twining together.
I rather enjoy the fact it can be looked at as seven years of filler strips and for a while had nothing to do with anyone named Bob or George. Seven years, that is daily. I am not sure but I think this comic ran for seven years, seven days a week without missing any updates, but perhaps the archives have been messed with.
If anyone does want to start read it, I advise beginning at the beginning and reading until the commentary stops. The author is going through the entire comic from the beginning and adding commentary to a new strip each day, so once you hit that point you can just subscribe to the RSS feed and get the strips delivered to you. Much easier reading one fourteenth of the strip now and subscribing than reading seven years of archive.
