How come everybody’s all like “ooh, Dresden Codak<\/a>” and “so awesome Dresden Codak” and “put your Dresden in my Codak” and yet I’ve never heard a single mention of Nobody Scores<\/a>? The only reason I found out is because its creator personally came to my table at Stumptown and I had to ask him<\/i> what he did. And it’s great! Full-color, long-scrolling strips with apocalyptically gleeful jokes that never descend into self-parody or fanservice. I love transhumanism as much as the next guy (the next guy being Dresden Codak), but I also love transplanted Indiana Jones gags<\/a> and runes<\/a> (and, for my North Carolina crew, The Björk Dojo<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It actually reminds me a lot of Return to Sender<\/a>, in visual style and whimsy, but with a less sympathetic bent. Oh, and also with like five times the archive length.<\/p>\n

Have I even posted about my webcomic pull list in the last few years? For my own records, in secret and arcane order: Starslip Crisis<\/a>, Achewood<\/a>, Scary Go Round<\/a>, PvP<\/a>, Narbonic: Director’s Cut<\/a>, xkcd<\/a>, Octopus Pie<\/a>, Shortpacked<\/a>, Penny Arcade<\/a>, Darths and Droids<\/a>, Gunnerkrigg Court<\/a>, Basic Instructions<\/a>, Chainsaw Suit<\/a>, Three Panel Soul<\/a>, Thingpart<\/a>, Bob the Angry Flower<\/a>, A Softer World<\/a>, Wonderella<\/a>, and Raymondo Person<\/a> and Dresden Codak<\/a> whenever they’re updated. And don’t think I don’t hit Checkerboard Nightmare<\/a> pretty often too. Just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
