Especially when they’re doctors. Here’s proof/a joke that I like inappropriately:
That this page falls in between is proof that Dr. McNinja is god’s gift to web comics. And if anyone disagrees, it is proof that they have no soul. These are facts.

I love that comic. The fact that they introduce the raptor-riding Mexican banditos in the same chapter makes it even more awesome. And then there’s the clone of Benjamin Franklin…

Frickin’ love this comic.

King Radical, ancient Mayan tennis temples (much cooler than it sounds), giant lumberjack disease… yes, it’s a very cool comic and I’ve been keeping up with it for years.

Ancient Mayan Tennis Temples that are inspired just as much by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as much as it is by Legends of the Hidden Temple(“I KNEW IT!”).
Chainsaw Nunchucks, Chuck Norris analogues, Zombie Benjamin Franklin Thriller, Dracula’s Moon base(Before Captain Britain even solicited it), and the secret history of the Pirate/Ninja rivarly.
EASILY, the greatest damn web-comic ever made. Shit is like awesome incarnate. Why haven’t I bought the paperback versions yet?

I’m a diabetic. I don’t whine to my doctor. The raptor stuff is prime funny, but the anti-diabetic “humor” is nasty. Diabetes is not a joke, it’s something I’ll have to live with for the rest of my life, take medicine to control for the rest of my life, and I have to be super-careful about everything else about my health because diabetes complicates dental, optical, heart, blood pressure, just about damned everything else. So, sorry, I didn’t think the diabetes “jokes” are funny at all. I don’t waste my life whining about it, I just live. I’ll now ignore those panels and enjoy the rest of Dr. McNinja, because everything else about the webcomic is supremely funny.

I dunno…was it really that funny? Maybe I have to read more of this.

I am a diabetic too and didn’t find the “joke” about diabetics funny at all. I only discovered it couple of months ago and started a treatment, so maybe I don’t know I’m supposed to be whiny at the moment. Then again, my late mom suffered from diabetes too and she never whined about her disease, About other stuff maybe, but not about diabetes.
The rest of the jokes were pretty funny, though.

The diabetes thing was rather tasteless, but at least it’s not torture porn. It could be worse. The guy could have said, for instance, “But I have a severe groin strain!” and the groin strain people would be upset/indifferent.
That’s not my point.
My point is a lot of work is obviously put into this comic. Whether or not it is a consistent barrel of laughs or a quiet chuckle, I will be reading the previous issues.

No wonder you don’t like Tim and Eric. Those were some seriously boring webcomics up there.

The #1 greatest webcomic on the planet. Don’t anyone forget that this comic had a Dracula moonbase prior to MI-13 did, and later in that same story, Doc SURFED ON A DRACULA BOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EARTH.
If that’s not awesome, I don’t know what is.

You… you’re dead to me, Apodaca. DEAD!

Of course, you’re not liking Dr. McNinja means you have no soul, so maybe I was too harsh. It’s not your fault that you find raptor punching dull but like whatever the blue hell Tim and Eric is (or you just have different taste, but if Joe and Alex taught me anything, it’s that someone completely wrong if they don’t love the same things you do).
Also, you whining diabetics are totally proving the doctor right (and should read the alt text where he explains the jokes; he’s riffing on a commercial).

Yeah. Either Dan hasn’t read that stuff or he is secretly a shark wrestling astronaut race car driver (with no soul). Because of all the complaints you could have about McNinja, dull is really not one I could see in the top 10.

@Brad: 1. I fail to see what was whiny in my previous comment.
2. I saw the explanation. It wasn’t even in any of the strips you linked too. I still don’t find it funny.
3. I guess that more than with the strip, my problem lies with you using it to promote the strip, instead of using any of the much funnier and cool aspects of Dr. McNinja. As it is, all I get is “Look, a webcomics that jokes about diabetics!” Then there’s this comment from Spike, who went ahead and called us “whiny idiots”, but that’s not really your fault.
4. Can you think about anyone that will come out and agree when someone calls him whiny or any other insult? No way. The only options are staying quiet or voice your rage, and with the latter you are obviously complaining and most likely will be called “See?! You prove us right, you whiny diabetic!” So if it all makes me whiny (sorry, “whiny idiot”) – so be it.

Wow, I was joking before but if you’re actually taking anything I said seriously, then you really are an idiot. Seriously, this time.

Hey there! I know this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask. Does running a well-established website like yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
