Earlier this week, I stumbled upon a forum post from another comic website asking webcomic creators what they would do if they had an entire year to themselves without having to worry about financial obligations such as bills or rent and it was interesting to see the results.
A number ...

I'm not generally a fan of ‘spoofs’ or parodies. There are a few greats of course, like Young Frankenstein, but even the well-regarded ones like the Naked Gun series back in the day aren't ones I was ever crazy about. There are some funny jokes and good performances ...
