The internet is quite the disruptive technology. I can hardly imagine how people wasted time before it existed. I suppose there’s TV, but TV is so limited and passive. Perhaps people just stared at the ceiling? Anyways, as a highly advanced Internet user, I would like to share some of my knowledge with you, the three people who read my website. So this is the first of a multipart series on ways to waste time on the internet.

I’ll start with webcomics. Unlike their newspaper-based counterparts, webcomics have the innate advantage of having no arbitrary format restrictions, no arbitrary need to appeal to a broad audience, and no arbitrary need to be family friendly. As a result, many web comics are about nerds and video games, and many include swearing. Today is an exception.

Today, we talk about Dr. McNinja. I discovered this webcomic for myself a few months ago, and I was immediately hooked. Dr. McNinja is a ninja, who is also a doctor. His family is also from Scotland. Or Ireland, depending on where the story needs him to be. Dr. McNinja is surprisingly well written and drawn. The stories are quite long, and the plot lines are absolutely, hysterically ludicrous. His receptionist is a gorilla named Judy. He updates three times a week, and the past 1 and a half episodes (one is in progress) are even in full color! You should definitely check out Dr. McNinja, and you should always remember to check out the alt-text on each message by mousing over the images.
