You think you’ve got it bad? What if a bat took off with your monocle and it’s not even insured? This is the first example I saw of the comics of Ben Dewey at Things Could Be Worse. The tragic things that happen in each panel are so absurd, they have to make you feel better about whatever else is going on. Link -via Mostly Forbidden Zone

I’ve been saying this for years: we’re all just characters in a really boring role-playing game played by transcendent, unseen beings. Or that our lives, somehow, are interesting to them. Kris Straub sums up this reality nicely in this strip. Link -via Ace of Spades HQ

Somehow, I have gone through life without knowing — until today — of the existence of Battlepug. This hilarious webcomic by Mike Norton tells of a nameless barbarian warrior. He was orphaned as a boy when a giant beast attacked his village, then enslaved in a cruel king’s workshop. The warrior, though alone in the world, found one true, loyal friend: an enormous pug.

Are you familiar with Kris Wilson’s delightfully morbid webcomic Cyanide & Happiness? It’s great. Almost equally inspired are Annette Morrison’s crocheted figures from that webcomic.

Ryan Andrew drew a wordless story about grief and fear …and overcoming those fears. Each part is linked to the next part of the story. Link -via Metafilter

The webcomic Subnormality by Winston Rowntree has a series of pictures illustrating the difference between reality and your perception of reality using monsters. This is only the first one, which is a concept I’m trying to teach my adolescent daughters. Link -via The Daily What

The (apparently anonymous) artist responsible for the webcomic Abstruse Goose expresses the ordinary mysteries revealed to the scientifically literate mind. At the bottom of the comic, he quotes Carl Sagan saying “Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”

In the links, you can find an interview with the cartoonist.

Matthew Inman of the webcomic The Oatmeal has some strong opinions about the computer competencies of users of different email providers. At the link, you can read his scathing criticism of Yahoo and AOL users.

Product is a graphic tale by Jon Phillips. The dystopian sci-fi plot can get a bit depressing if you think that will bother you. If not, you’ll be glad you stuck with it through to the end. Click the linked image to enlarge. Link -via Digg

Because it’s tax season, let’s take the issue of taxation. As you know, tax is universal – it also exists on Planet Urf albeit in a slightly different form:

… Urflings also care about the environment, and are facing some sort
of an oil crisis there as well:

… and let’s not forget about science! Urflings are a curious bunch -
they’ve got their own Super Collider in action to solve the mysteries
of particle physics:

Definitely check out the rest of the trio’s latest creations – and be
prepared to be utterly engrossed by the Urflings: Link
