Help with some characters

Post by Gemzu »

Ok so I was given a bunch of images that are main characters in a bunch of webcomics - popular ones from what I can gather. My challenge was to find out what comics they came from - I was given 50 total and am stumped on 10 maybe I just haven't been looking in the right place but I was hoping you guys could help me.

1. 'Applegeeks', I believe.
3. 'PvP'
4. 'VGcats'
6. '8-bit Theatre' \o/
7. 'Penny Arcade'
8. 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete' (vomits)

The rest look familiar. But I'm too lazy to remember.

How could you not know about some of these comics, as horrible and popular as they are?

I am totally impressed that you didn't know who Gabe was from Penny-Arcade. You now have awesome outsider cred or something.

Am I the only person who knows the last one? Wow.

It's from a library-themed workplace comic called "Unshelved".

Until reading these last replies I too had no idea who any of these people were. I will probably forget them by tomorrow morning too.

At least the titles sound familiar to me.

Aww... You beat me to the punch. Unshelved is a great comic. The character's name is Dewey. (hehe)

To us tasmanians, you'd be "mainlanders" as far as i know that includes you, Cope, dutch, zwuh.... and a couple other i forget..
Jamie's over 300 km's south of me quite possibly stalking the shadowy recesses of either the cascade brewery, boag's, or even the cadbury's chocolate factory. :P

Is it just me or do all these seem like comics everyone who reads comics will have heard about at some point? *eyes thread suspiciously*

What were the other 40?

so out of fifty webcomics these are the ones you couldn't figure out.. seems a tad fishy to me since some of these are some of most well known webcomics out there.

Yes, something doesn't smell quite right in Gemzu-town. The jig is up, guy. What's the real deal?
