Here is a list of some cartoons I find quite popular for no reason in fellow geeks
1) PHD Comics
2) www.XKCD.com
4) Good Old Dilbert
5)
Calvin and Hobbes
I may have missed a few- but it is notable the appeal of cartoons seems disproprtionate in techie cultures more than normal.
What’s your favourite cartoon or source of humour?

An Award winning documentary, it looks at the truly amazing things one can do with a piece of paper, from creating wonderful sculptures to even research in proteins interaction and crash test bags.
