From the creator of Keenspot, this is one of the comics that I first hated, now can't live without. My initial negative feelings were from my first visual impressions; the author is one of those who enjoys drawing ugly characters for the humor of it. The situation is a little far out there too, although you'd think that would be no surprise in the webcomic world. Brothers Chris and Bobby wear superhero outfits, but don't do anything although they are apparently well-nigh indestructable. Chris has befriended a sentient ironing board, who has the ability to invent anything including time travel and acts as Chris' guardian. They are supported by a thoroughly unlikely cast of extras such as a cigarette smoking turtle with a mohawk, an alternate-timeline Kato Kaelin, a horrendous looking school janitor, etc. Fortunately, it all somehow hangs together with a cynical and consistently insane world view. Taking any nearly impossible situation, you usually get Chris's sweet-but-stupid perspective and Bobby's uncontainable rage. Hollywood producers, internet companies, politicians are mercilessly portrayed. It's all infinitely quotable. In general, the two best parts of this comic are Bobby, who always says exactly what's on his mind, and Chris' one true love Arcadia, who is a total babe, one of my favorite cartoon women on the internet!
