There's a webcomic I read called Sins. It's a little goofy, but all the same, with 8-Bit over, Ansem Retort dead, & Order of the Stick updating so s l o w l y, it's one of my favorites. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone outside of the forums there say they read it. It does have a TV Tropes page, but it rarely makes it onto the actual individual Trope pages, so it probably doesn't have a huge following there. Also, it's like the only webcomic where I actually like reading the commentary, for the in-jokes he makes about the specific page.

The one where Greed is a puppyman, Pride is also Fortune and unlucky, and Sloth says "Meh", yes? I love that comic. I've been following it since the early days. And I mean, the original Rhett arc. It's one of the first webcomics I've ever read. I might even be mentioned in one or two early commentaries, for recommending books.

I caught it in like one of the first few arcs of the "new" version, then went back to read the Rhett one.
TAI-FIVE!

Few people are as interested in string theory and quantum mechanics as I am, or in theoretical physics in general. My main problem is that I am interested in so many facets of mathematics and science than I haven't specialized yet, which makes it difficult to stay on one topic or subject for long. I tend to not complete research projects because I go off on tangents I didn't originally intend to study. I have always been a book worm, with the advent of the Internet I do much of my reading on a PC but I do enjoy going to the library and reading the old fashioned way; which is in itself not something many people do.

This is mine: Chicago post-hardcore band Holy Roman Empire (2003-2008). There's only ever been one band whose split I was truly gutted about, and it was them.

I just started watching Phineas and Ferb on netflix it is awesome.
Not sure if it counts but the band Wir Sind Helden is fantastic. Apparently they are really popular in Europe but nobody here in the U.S. knows about them.

A friend of mine made mention to it being "such a smart show" a lot in a class. I was skeptical, so I watched it. Can't really fault a cartoon that makes a joke about ventricles.
The only problem I have is that it relies heavily on running jokes. And running jokes go through phases of being funny, nostalgic, & then annoying. Kind of what turned me off of The Secret Show.

I love Monty Python as far as shows and movies, classic comedy. King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king. Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

2 Webcomics: Freakangels. Best described as an "online graphic novel" and written by Warren Ellis, who you might recognize if you pay attention to western comics. (It's already ended, so you don't have to worry about cliffhangers and waiting for new updates.) Girls with Slingshots, which is somewhat similar in tone and structure to Questionable Content.

The Emberverse novels. This disappoints me greatly.
