Keenspot Keenspot Help Desk is a webcomic by Christopher B. Wright which debuted on March 31, 1996, making it one of the older webcomics on the Internet. The comic is a satirical and cynical view of computer software companies in general, and of the antics of Microsoft, Apple Computer, and Linux in particular. This is done through the employees at Ubersoft, a fictional computer software company that markets a number of software products, including a computer operating system called Nifty Doorways. The comic draws heavily from real-life events in the computer software industry and lampoons those events through the cast of characters. It features a daily slogan on the title bar. Examples are "We code what angels fear and dread", " Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt", "Our lawyers are better", "It's not a bug..... Its just really really bad", "Standing on the necks of giants", "Four out of five dentists reboot", and "We put the pain in painstaking". ...more on Wikipedia about "Help Desk"

*Fairbanks Greensworthington:The keystone character; an outspoken, inverterate reactionary. A caricature of modern extremist Republicanism. Proprietor of the Sore Thumbs Video Game Shoppe and Hot Dog Stand. He once drowned two men in soup for 'looking suspicious' (they had beards). The jury acquitted him, mainly because the trial was a week after 9/11. He has been given an award by Senator Joseph Lieberman for his efforts in combatting evil. Before Cecania, Harmony and Sawyer arrived, the games in the shop were generally campy in content,such as "Teletubbies: Journey to Nebraska", "Boring Rabbit", "Bounce Ball 2", and "Sandwich: the Game"; since then, the games he stocks have become more mainstream. He was given a medal by the Vice-President of the United States for slaughtering a hive of terrorists while trying to rescue Cecania from the wrong federal facility (even though Coleman was the one who killed most of the terrorists). He is exaggeratedly courteous to blacks, yet openly contemptuous of Asians. He is in love with Harmony. Fairbanks has been endowed with hypnotic powers and bear-like hopping abilities. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sore Thumbs"

Todd and Penguin is a webcomic by David Wright. The strip's characters include Todd, a rather depressive man for whom everything seems to go wrong, and Penguin, a childlike and naive talking penguin, and a number of secondary characters. The sharp contrast between the various characters is a major source of the strip’s humor. It is most easily classified as a “slice-of-life” comic strip, with an occasional surreal storyline. Initially it used a gag-a-day format, with few extended storylines, but as the comic evolved it began to take on more detailed storylines with new characters. ...more on Wikipedia about "Todd and Penguin"
