Hyperbole and a Half
My confession:
Poorly-draw web comics are not really my thing. I usually scroll by them in spite of the fact that they are generally posted all over the place, and everyone else seems to love them. XKCD or whatever that is? I can take or leave it. That thing with the dinosaurs? I can't pay attention past the first frame. I don't think I've ever read one to completion.
But "Hyperbole and a Half" always makes me laugh out loud, for real. I love the drawings, how expressive they are in spite of their simplicity. How the stories are always a little bit sad, along with the funny. I know humor is a complicated thing, with a myriad of variables. It's a personal thing, but for me, those track-pad drawings get it right.
