That's a whole lot of eyes and ears for Microsoft now.

There is a Dr McNinja sequence about just that kind of botnet.

With holy bullets.

Because the new artists are ditching poorly-inked shredded forest syndication in favor of mediums where they have real control. For instance web and self-published books. (the latter really needs the former, I suspect, in order to get enough exposure to be viable, though.)

Interestingly, there is a lot more specialization. For example, I suspect that a lot of people won't find Dr McNinja amusing, but those who do will not be able to avoid archive binging. There is something for everyone, and everyone's something isn't necessarily the same thing. The flavors are more intense.

If you want to read good daily comics again, just find some ten lists and pick out a few, then plug them into your favorite rss reader.

Doh. Messed up the link. Here's the fixed one: The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

I can't decide between the often historical wackiness of Hark a Vagrant and the rocket fueled radical fun at Dr McNinja.

And the rocket launchers and gatling guns. No point in skimping.

Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire.

Here I thought a Satellite had finally captured an alien humanoid who had lit himself on fire (a common tactic for avoiding ninjas (src: http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p15/)).

Interesting. Dr. McNinja has clarified this in the current storyline.

This is well documented.

Everytime I read a webcomic now, I find myself hovering the mouse over the image, wondering why the text won't appear, before I realise it's only XKCD that does that.

Dr. McNinja disagrees.

The subsequent deletion of the copies was indeed theft and not copyright infringement because Amazon deprived the customers of the use of the physical copy they had bought, paid for, and owned.

Unless you are referring to some recounting of the events that I missed, where Amazon sent Dr McNinja to steal the Kindles of those who purchased our illicit copies of 1984, then no, that wasn't theft. There was no physical copy, just data being deleted on a machine that was set up to sync what was on it with what was listed on your account with Amazon.

Or not, at least, if you aren't willing to swallow the idea of copyright infringement being theft.

If you are, then sure, that was theft. And again, at that point, you were in possession of stolen goods and had no claim to the book either.

And let's not get into the bullshit realm of you and I trying to pretend we know the legal definitions here. You are no more in a position of claiming it's legally considered theft than I am. Legally, theft has a very strict and narrow definition and I guarantee you that neither the selling or subsequent deletion of the book will be counted under legal 'theft'.

The question will not be was it theft but was it legal. And I strongly suspect that Amazon will be found in the clear, especially since they refund the money paid for the books. As others have mentioned, while 1984 is a high profile case of this happening, it's not the only one.

Is THIS what you want to do with your eyes?

Nope. I refer you to the Adventures of Dr. McNinja.

Yeah, Dr McNinja was demolishing that entire ship full of pirates. On the other hand, the pirate captain was winning until he threw Dr. McNinja and he discovered the frozen shamrocks by landing on them. Plus, he totally forgot that he carries shuriken in his coat, so he didn't really need the shamrocks.
If anyone is curious what the heck this is about, check out: The Adventures of Dr. McNinja.

Read this. It'll freak you out. Someone has known about this all along. http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=1&issue=11

1. It's not an exploding tag.
2. It should be known that Dr.McNinja kicks all lesser ninja ass anyways.

At least we can see the story of how Dr.McNinja dealt with them trying to stomp on his practice and good name.

There's already a backup Batman!

I don't use RSS feeds for webcomics, so here is the set of pages I regularly visit:
XKCD We probably all know this one.
Cyanide and Happiness Somewhat twisted humour.
Errant Story Excellent art and storyline.
Bunny Strange humour about bunnies.
QC Indy rock comic of social interaction.
Megatokyo Megatokyo. Has gone downhill in recent years, but still good art.
Penny Arcade Gamer comic, quite famous.
PBF Perry Bible Fellowship hasn't updated in some time, but very funny when he does.
Edible Dirt is a series of single-panel jokes. Very funny, often somewhat twisted.
Ctrl-Alt-Del is a comic about a few gamer roomates.
LFG WoW/MMO/D&D spoof. Quite funny, good art, interesting plot. Many references break the 4th wall.
Two-Lumps is a comic about cats, 1 smart, 1 very, very dumb. I think the artist is stalking my cat to get ideas for the dumb one.
Gunnerkrigg Court Beautiful art, excellent story. And robots.
underpower hasn't updated in some time, great single-page art pieces recently and an actual story before.
Girl Genius is all about Mad Science.
Bunny System is a comic about psychotic rabbits.
Something Positive is very, very cynical. It actually has 5 webcomics on 1 page. Very much worth checking out.
Head Trip is... a head trip.
FLEM hasn't updated in a while, and has a strange and rather violent storyline. Back to single-panel shorts now.
VGCats video game cats is excellent, if you play video games.
Clan of the Cats Author is going blind, will continue if she gets better. Great story and art.
Dr. McNinja The adventures of Dr. McNinja. Clean art, good story, ninjas on fire.
Code Name: Hunter Magic/technology interaction in a world strangely dominated by talking animals. Excellent facial expressions, especially for being animals.
Awkward Zombie gamer comic similar to vgcats.
No Need for Bushido Samurai story, well drawn and reasonably well written.
Giant ITP hosts both The Order of The Stick, a D&D spoof, and The Battle For Gobwin Knob, a comic about a GM who gets sucked into a world of his own design, on the losing side of a no-win scenario.
Last Blood Zombies have taken over the earth and killed nearly all humans, so now the vampires fight to protect their dwindling food source. Excellent drawing and unique story.
Chopping Block Butch the serial killer. Sick, twisted humour, but very funny.
Dominic Deegan Oracle for Hire, is a good story with pretty good art.
The Traveling Gnome Great art, story seems good so far.
One-Liners may be offensive to some, or funny to those with a sense of humour.

There's a one man solution for raptors and zombies and it solves ninjas too!.

I believe you are referring to the inverse ninja law

Life is like a dream.

Better start rowing, rowing, rowing your boat.

You never die in your observed life. You just die in alternate universes.

You probably are referring to this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide

IMO, if this metaphysical argument is valid any support for the many worlds interpretations would be pretty good news... What are your thoughts, ghost of Ben Franklin? http://www.drmcninja.com/

Naw, Chainsaw Nunchuks all the way!

Well, if it's Dr. McNinja then infinity, but if it's those stupid ninja from Naluto it's -2450.

Cease those claims immediately!

As everyone knows, if you have a trademark dispute with McDonald's you flip out and kill people.

All will be well with TBP...until the Ninjas come, and they will come.

Arr mateys.

and as for the evil clown, go read Dr McNinja (Dr McNinja) #1/2 (one half)

Really, anybody with sufficient abs can fly, at least according to Dr. McNinja. The muscles form an organic jetpack.

Superman has good abs, right?

I'm going to go right ahead and quote Dr. McNinja right now.

"You know, you and a few fat kids who like to dance and lip sync really need to learn that the internet is viewable by the public."

grab one about Irish history.

According to the mother of this doctor -- who is also a ninja -- the whole ninja/pirate thing was a ninja joke at the expense of pirates.

Nonsense! Everyone knows the best way to kill a mime is with a rocket launcher.

Web comics, you say? I would buy a subscription to any newspaper if they ran Dr. McNinja! http://www.drmcninja.com/
