Video Game Webcomic
Many webcomics have been influenced by video games and video game culture. Background Webcomics frequently poke fun at video game logic, the video game industry, and stereotypical behavior of gamers. The earliest video game webcomic was ''Polymer City Chronicles'', which started in 1995. However, 1998's '' PvP'' is seen as the origin of the genre, influencing various webcomics following it. Low-quality video game webcomics were particularly common in the mid-2000s, often featuring author stand-ins with poor dialogue and unrealistic relationships. A common trope in video game webcomics is to have the main characters sit on a couch, talking about the game they are playing. It is common for webcomics to exclusively use in-game art and speech bubbles, such as in sprite comics.

Awkward Zombie
''Awkward Zombie'' is an ongoing video game webcomic by Katie Tiedrich. Starting in 2006, the webcomic parodies the unusual aspects of video games in a comedic fashion. Initially gaining steam by parodying ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Awkward Zombie'' is known for covering a broad selection of games. The webcomic has been featured by various gaming-related websites. Overview Updating approximately once a week, ''Awkward Zombie'' consists of gag-a-day parodies of a broad selection of video games, such as ''Super Smash Bros.'', '' Fire Emblem'', ''Pokémon'', ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''World of Warcraft'', '' Red Dead Redemption'', and the ''Metal Gear'' series. Focusing on the "ridiculous situations" that could occur in video game worlds, ''Awkward Zombie'' is entirely non-sequential, with no main characters or plotlines.
