6''[[http://zeropercentdiscountcomic.tumblr.com/ Zero Percent Discount]]'' is a [[ScheduleSlip weekly]] webcomic by Jules Everson. It deviates from your standard video game comic "by making it more or less unrelated to videogames" (his words, not ours). It's notable for the variety and quality of its humor, but also for how it [[http://zeropercentdiscountcomic.tumblr.com/post/133423822158 can't stick]] [[http://zeropercentdiscountcomic.tumblr.com/post/132922804418 with one]] [[http://zeropercentdiscountcomic.tumblr.com/post/131012341883 art style]].
