I dig Dork Tower. There's a ray of positivity in the comic, as well as in Kovalic himself, which isn't seen much in webcomics. I'm a little behind in reading the collected versions of the comic book, but thanks to a two-year-old Kickstarter finally getting delivered, it's time.

As much as I like the strip, there's a repetition to the comics that can get a little tiresome. Kovalic's jokes run in the vein of describe-describe-describe-DESCRIBE-DESCRIBE-punchline. It works great in a webcomic format, but when reading a whole comic, where even the extended stories carry that same format, it can get very same-y.

Still, I'm not going to stop reading these. I have seven more to go to get caught up.
