Online comics are the Web's most enjoyable time suck, and the best ones are those geared toward tech-savvy nerds (i.e., people who don't read Peanuts or Cathy). We especially like Penny Arcade for the way it pokes fun at the high-tech industry and the people who love it. Other addictive offerings include the brilliant and surreal Achewood and PvP, which chronicles the lives and loves of employees at a video-game magazine.
