It seems that, at least for the moment, the temperature has cooled to something below its
"melt everything" setting and we can finally --
finally! --
have ourselves a Summah! What's that? You're scared to have a Summah? Don't be crazy! Let the yucks linked below warm you up before getting out of that recycled air and to the boardwalk. Afraid you'll get splinters? Grab a pair of sandals! Have a Summah! Worried you'll get side-splints from the hilarious comics? Oh, well, we've got
nothing for you there.
Don't forget to vote for your favorite in the poll after the jump -- and remember,
have a Summah!
Frogger (xkcd)
What is Love? (Virtual Shackles)
Everyone's Nicknamed Stubs (Of Noobs and Men)
Kirby's Pet (Brawl in the Family)
Inertia (Digital Unrest)

Yeah, now that we think about it, Princess Zelda in
Spirit Tracks wasn't exactly the most
flattering portrayal of the titular heiress. In
Ocarina of Time, she masqueraded around as this badass ninja, in
Twilight Princess, she was a killer with a bow and arrow -- heck, in
Wand of Gamelon, you actually get to
play as Zelda. As Awkward Zombie points out in last week's
Wrapup-winning comic "
Off Track," all she can do in the series' second DS outing is follow a dotted line, often into a wall, obstacle or slavering jaws of a hideous beast.
Second and third place went to Digital Unrest's "
Incognito" and Penny Arcade's "
Planting a Flag," respectively. If you've got a strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, make sure you drop a link in the comments, or
send in a tip!

Is it just us, or has this year's Comic-Con played host to an unnatural amount of newsworthy video game happenings? New games getting announced, new trailers, new demos -- where did all this come from? Is it possible that this comics-based event has taken a stronger interest in games due to
this very feature, which is hosted on a video game website, but focuses exclusively on
comics? We're not sure, but we love all the symmetry, regardless.
Below are our seven favorite webcomics from the past week. Check them out, then vote for your favorite in the poll after the jump!
Banana Hoard (Brawl in the Family)
Incognito (Digital Unrest)
Anatomy of a Headshot (Monday Night Crew)
Dat Feature (Nerf Now)
Off Track (Awkward Zombie)
Don't Ask (Virtual Shackles)
Planting a Flag (Penny Arcade)

We were always put off by the character design of
Voltorb. (You know, from
Pokémon. Keep up, people.) Why does he look like a pokéball? Is that where pokéballs come from? Are they just hollowed-out Voltorbs? Are they unhatched Voltorb eggs? Well, we'd like to thank Brawl in the Family's
Wrapup-winning strip for turning a seemingly innocent video game franchise into an animal rights
nightmare in our mind's eye. Seriously, man.
Thanks a ton.
Second and third place went to Penny Arcade's "
The Grim Curriculum" and Nerf Now's "
Id, Please," respectively. If you've got a favorite strip you'd like to see in the next Wrapup, drop a link in the comments, or
send in a tip!

All we've ever wanted from this humble weekly feature is for one reader -- just one! -- to react as passionately to our favorite comics as the now-infamous Hungrybear did to those
full-on double rainbows. We're not sure how to go about accomplishing this feat. We could try contacting each webcomic to ask if they'd turn up their color intensity, but that may be too much to ask. We'll just have to hope that you guys are already in a really good mood, and are prone to spontaneous emotional breakdowns.
Check out our seven favorite gaming-centric comics from the past week below, then vote for your favorite in the poll posted after the jump!
Peace for Cybertron (Virtual Shackles)
The Grim Curriculum (Penny Arcade)
Voltorb (Brawl in the Family)
DLC Decisions (Extra Life)
Make the Kinection (Dueling Analogs)
See You in Ten to Twenty (No Cash Value)
ID, Please (Nerf Now)

The
Joystiq Podcast wasn't the only regular feature that we were to slammed to produce last week -- the rigors of E3 2010 also prevented us from doing the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup. As such, we've decided to include our favorite comics from the past
two weeks this time around. We're sure you won't mind; as busy as we were
writing the news last week, we're sure you were equally busy
consuming it.
Below you'll find our seven favorite comics from the past fourteen days. Give them all a once-over, and vote for your favorite in the poll posted after the jump!
Finally (Brawl in the Family)
This is Why (Virtual Shackles)
Evolution (Extra Life)
Establishing Kinection (Digital Unrest)
Secreting Digestive Ichor (Penny Arcade)

Though Joystiq has undergone some substantial design changes recently, we still think it's important for us to remember our roots. We're keep the spirit of the old, blue Joystiq alive in the
El Verde-designed logo posted above. That way, when we show our grandkids the fruits of our internet labor, we can point to the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup's branding and say, "well, Darlene, the whole
site used to look like that." (Note: If our future children ever name their future children "Darlene," we will disown them.)
Below are our seven favorite gaming-centric webcomics from this past week. Give them a once-over, pick your favorite, and then cast your ballot in the poll posted after the jump!
Project Hatesphere (Penny Arcade)
Yeah, It's Kinda Like That (Virtual Shackles)
As The Old Saying Goes (Extra Life)
Gotta Count 'Em All (Dueling Analogs)
A Link to the Music (Nerf Now)
Black Hole Sun (Digital Unrest)
Socket To Me (Awkward Zombie)

It's difficult to squeeze humor out of a situation as upsetting as the BP Oil Spill, but Virtual Shackles' "
What They Do Best" does so in a pretty effective manner. Don't get us wrong -- it's not humorous enough to make us forget that in like, three weeks, the oceans will be overrun with hideously mutated, island-eating petrobeasts, whose misery-songs will pierce the nightmares of sailors young and old. But ... well, it's still good for a laugh, and that's probably why it won
last week's Wrapup. Congrats!
Second and third place went to Penny Arcade's "
The Universal Analogy" and Brawl in the Family's "
Cartoons," respectively. If you've got a favorite strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, just drop a link in the (new and improved) comments section, or
send in a tip!

Though a majority of the nation's educational institutions have ended their Spring semester, sending waves of pupils crashing against the warm, loamy shores of the nearest beach -- we're doing what we do best, which is ... this. This thing you're reading, right now. Don't cry for us, dear readers -- we've got an extra-large Hungry-Man meal in the freezer with our name on it. Well, not literally, unless one us is named Mr. Hungryman, which would be
awesome.

One of our favorite webcomics here at Wrapup Industries is the frequently hilarious, brilliantly illustrated 2P Start -- just look through our back catalog, and you'll find them on a number of our top seven lists. Earlier this week, 2P Start
published its very last update. We'd like to congratulate Tim and Ray on delivering over three years of a quality webcomic product, and for ending said webcomic's run in a surprisingly classy manner. So, without further ado: Congratulations!
