Sometimes, we webdesigners need a little humor–but not just any good ol’ laugh will do. Sometimes, we need to hear and see someone tell our stories…to perfectly detail how freelance webdesigners struggle, how irritating it can be to debug a layout, how software updates throw monkey wrenches into your carefully-coded website at random.

The Internet knows our need and has responded! Here is a selection of webcomics about webdesign (and the techie life in general)–for each comic you read, you’ll laugh because it’s true, and you’ll laugh because you’ve been there.

Kopozky – A subtle and witty comic, with lots of design and development references only we will get.

PCWeenies.com – Our complete lives as designers, developers, and “tech people,” told with wit and color.

The Brads – Tales from a fictional webdesign workplace, Dilbert-esque and hilarious. (This comic creator also did a series of comics for .Net magazine as well 🙂 )

OK-Cancel – For techies of all sorts, including webdesigners and developers.

TheOatmeal.com’s Tech Archive – A small but mighty cache of techie comics, delivered with TheOatmeal’s generous dollops of penetrating observations and hilarious phrasing. (Warning, language)

Freelance Freedom – For those of us who are freelancers (which is most of us web designers and developers these days), this comic is us. Period.

1stWebDesigner’s Life Webcomic – Interesting concept–a comic as much made by the readers as its creator. Lots of reader input went into each webdesign strip!

BugBash.net – A tech-based comic for all of us who’ve battled the digital bugs in our programs and websites.

The System: Web Design Archives – Within this larger comic, these little humor gems about web design appear.
