Oh joy! A comic has made it on Art Attack Friday again! These are far andfew between,sadly. This week, AAF is highlighting Woody Hearn’sGU Comics. GU Comic started in July 10th, 2000 and has produced over 1500 strips in the nearly eight years it has been around. Luckily, GU doesn’t have some long story line you have to follow as the comics are usually stand-alone.
GU Comic is updated usually five times a week and the strips are focused on hot videogame news, industry bullshit and MMO stuff that almost always fly rightover my head. The comic is a mix of hand drawn and Photoshop. All of the strips are just one panel longandthat’senoughtogetthejokesacross.
The comic often times follows Woody and his fictional roommate, Ted, as they deal with the videogame world. There are a few other recurring characters likeMartin, the black friend,Iggy McStickson, a filler character used when Woody can’t dedicate time to the comic and says poopy a lot, andSanta Claus.
For as long as GU has been around, it’s surprising to see that they aren’t talked about more. It’s a great comic that’s definitely worth keeping up with daily.
