Readers pick best webcomic: Babicide

Posted Nov 6th 2009 11:59PM by Griffin McElroy

The dynamic duo from Penny Arcade have had long-standing animosity with infants, as evidenced by a number of their past strips. This cycle -- and the comic's victory streak -- continued in last week's Webcomic Wrapup winner, titled "Babicide." Just to be clear, they're talking about demonic baby murder in this strip, and not that blue liquid that hairstylists use to clean combs. Yes, that's how it hit us first, too.

Second and third place went to Brawl in the Family's "Zombie Attack" and Hiimdaisy's "Big Long Persona 4 Comic Part Two," respectively. If you've got a favorite strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's poll, it's not too late to send it in! Just leave a link in the comments section of this post, or shoot us a tip!

Big long persona 4 comic is like, the best ever. Penny arcade is getting old.

I liked Wednesday's Penny Arcade:

I feel like I'm being ripped off by my dog everyday. Sigh.

They better choose that one for this week's one.

A moderately funny Penny Arcade? Amazing.

Last week was a slowish week. This was one of the better ones, though.

Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Nov 7th 2009 12:08AM

I still think "Zombie Attack" should've won.

Preston @ Nov 7th 2009 12:08AM

ITT webcomic readers continue having no taste.

What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 7th 2009 1:03AM

ITT Hypocrites continue to not vote on the poll with their amazing taste.

Nadril @ Nov 7th 2009 12:12AM

I really liked the colors in this PA strip. Of course it was funny as usual too.

I would like to say about Penny-Arcade's "Freshness," winner of last Saturday's Weekly Webcomic Wrapup, serves as a grim reminder to all experienced pokémon trainers -- every creature, even ones inhumanely stored in pocket-sized capsules, require frequent nurturing and care. Oh, and oxygen. They need oxygen, too.

I'm pretty sure I voted for the Zombie Attack comic as well. Second place ain't too shabby though.

Here's the MNC offering for the week:

Wow, Himdaisy not instantly winning a wrap-up? That's a new one on me. Anyway, here's the +1 Comics entry of the week:

Enjoy!

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 7th 2009 1:51AM

Oh look. More awful shit. Thanks for this.

Granger @ Nov 7th 2009 1:55AM

...Why is it so damn blurry?

Omega2k3 @ Nov 7th 2009 2:07AM

This seems to call for a ban. Look at the posting history, it's just a bunch of advertisement for his abysmal webcomic...

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 7th 2009 2:44AM

Here's my comic, please enter it in the wrapup.

Why does he keep trying?

Skaz @ Nov 7th 2009 11:14PM

HOLY SHIT YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR THREE YEARS?!

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 7th 2009 1:51AM

Hiimdaisy not winning is a travesty.

Ashitaka @ Nov 7th 2009 7:55AM

The thing is: not everyone has played Persona so it's impossible for us to understand it.

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 7th 2009 8:04AM

Then you're the one with the problem.

rowd149 @ Nov 7th 2009 9:36AM

I didn't play it, and I got it just fine.

Then again, I did read the wiki page thoroughly and watched most of the boss battles. Hrm.

Ashitaka @ Nov 7th 2009 1:42PM

Not really, no :)
I bet I've played lots of other great games that you haven't.

Baby vs. Rhino is one of the classic webcomic strips that I'll remember long past the point of being too old to laugh at this kind of shit (which btw, is already upon me.)

It's the only webcomic shirt I'll ever have, and I still cherish it.

alienmastermind @ Nov 7th 2009 11:35AM

Hey guys. Man that comic was classic PA. Laughed my eyes out. Hiimdaisy has long comics that are quite funny, surprised it didn't win this week.

Dipswitch had only one comic this week. It was about Dragon Age.

For your consideration.

kenny goo @ Nov 7th 2009 12:24PM

Gah you guys suck, lol. That Zombie Attack one was so much funnier then the one for Dante's Inferno, and I'm not even a Nintendo/Metroid fan.

Though if that stupid Persona one I was gonna be really disappointed. Who actually read through all, or even half of that?

Bones3D @ Nov 7th 2009 6:28PM

Hmm... I think the word you're looking for is "infanticide", not "babicide"...

(Either way, I support a mother's right to choose...)

I'm nowhere near a webcomic but here's a comic I made on a whim.

Omega2k3 @ Nov 8th 2009 12:06AM

That was actually pretty lulz.
