It’s rare that newcomers elicit such a feverish response from regular Weekly Webcomic Wrapup pollsters — yet Nerf Now’s first appearance in our illustrated revue managed to pull in a startling 43.3 percent of the vote! We can understand why — their winning comic, “World 4-1,” possess all the necessary ingredients for success: Popular video game characters, irony and (of course), dirty words. We don’t approve of that type of talk around here, mister — but we’re not ones to censor anyone’s profanity-laden artistic offerings.

Second and third place went to xkcd’s “Oregon” and Castle Vidcons’ “Pretender to the Throne,” respectively. We’ll be getting our Wrapup on once again tomorrow evening — if you’ve got a strip you’d like to see in the running, now’s the time to submit it via a comment or tip!

Readers pick best webcomic: World 1-4 originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
