I recently added StumbleUpon to my browser.  You tell it what kinds of things you’re interested in, and when you’re bored you click the icon on your taskbar and it brings to to a semi-random site that they think will interest you.  You can then rate it thumbs up or thumbs down with a mouse click, and comment on it if you’re so inclined.

It’s OK, but not great.  They repeat too many sites, including ones I’ve thumbed down.  But they also hit some great sites from time to time, ones I probably wouldn’t have found on my own.

One thing it’s taught me, though, is just how many horribly bad comics are on the tubes.  Stupid, poorly drawn, just plain bad comics.  And the worst of all are the stick figure comics.  There are hundreds of them.

You don’t have to be Da Vinci to draw a comic.  No one is expecting brilliant artwork.  But if the best you can do is stick figures: don’t bother!  Stick figure comics are stupid and ridiculous.  If you’re stupid and ridiculous you might want to avoid advertising that to the world.
