I read 6 different webcomics (though I know people who read 10 times that number) which are all in the links to the right. I decided to do a round-up of how those 6 have tackled Christmas.
Sinfest
Tatsuya Ishida hasn't really done a christmas comic though it could be interpreted as the nightmare before christmas.
Penny Arcade
Tycho and Gabe round off their awesome year with The Last Christmas. A special book presentation depicting the destruction of christmas. Nice one guys,
VG Cats
Aeris and Leo take a break and make way for now frequent webcomic character Gordon Freeman. He's opening his presents and as usual finds a lump of shit from his pet headcrab. Christmassy and takes the piss at the same time. VG Cats is still my favourite.
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Tim Buckley really pushed out the boat to produce a heart warming comic. Ethan and Lucas mourn the destruction of their christmas tree and presents (as seen in Wednesday's comic) and find that their friends are all they need on christmas time. Brilliant and something I really didn't see coming from the CAD team.
Sore Thumbs
I really like this comic. Owen and Chris break off their ongoing storyline to let the cast and characters wish the readers a merry christmas. Apart from Fairbanks who's just a miserable asshole.
PvP
I'm kinda getting pissed off with this lot. They've had the christmas thing going on for a while now and it's just gone stale. For christmas eve they have a dog and a cat arguing over who plays baby Jesus in a nativity play *yawns*.
In general it's a good christmas for the webcomics and seeing as how all of them delivered on christmas eve (except PA) it's great to see their dedication to their public on show. Merry Christmas w00ters and don't get too smashed.
