The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. Fish

Well, its that time of the week again, so here we go.  For your viewing pleasure today readers we have a criminally under read comic by the name The Punchline is Machismo, written and drawn by Kelly Turnbull, who is also one of the designers and animators for the show Ugly Americans.  This comic follows the life of Commander Badass, the leader of a sort of halfway house for all of the action videogame heroes; space marines, Kratos, Duke Nukuem, and many more grace the screen in this comic, and its all the better for it.  However, the character that really steals the show for me, and probably many readers, is Jared, the intern, and his pet Gyarados, Mr. Fish.  The story of Jared and Mr. Fish's origin is easily one of my favourite strips, seen here:
Quite simply, this is exquisite.  Well-drawn, hilarious, simply stunning.  The best thing is, the quality of the comics only go up from here.  Updating twice a week, Punchline is a great example of of how a comic doesn't need to update constantly or even be mainstream to be great.  That's the whole purpose of this blog, to show you guys the blogs that aren't mainstream, the ones that take some looking to find.  In closing, here is more Mr. Fish:
