Ninjas+Pirates: The Eternal Clash

I have discovered another webcomic worthy of note. Prepare yourself for

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja!


He's not just a ninja--he's a doctor.

The art is fun, but the writing is what makes me snicker uncontrollably. That's something that not many online comics are capable of. Many of them are humorous, yes--but this one has a dry, sharp wit that's relentless. The character of Dr. McNinja is all at once stealthy, bumbling and full of melodrama.

Dr. McNinja: Okay...Dinosaur in my office. How could that be? The door should have been locked.

(Pause)

Dr. McNinja: Oh! They are extinct! Dinosaurs are extinct! Dinosaur can't be in the office (his eyes narrow) because it should be extinct.

It reminds me of the comics drawn by that really smart but goof-off kid who used to sit behind you in algebra. 'Nuff said.
