4Created by some artist ''cough, Scott, cough'', [[http://nerf-this.com/ Nerf This]] follows the adventures of the aggressively stylish Chase Connors, his horribly adorable pet monster Monty and their group of [[http://nerf-this.com/cast/ oddball friends]]. Updating Monday. Wednesday and Friday, this {{Webcomic}} has been running since March 2009. Sadly, the comic stopped updating in 2017 and as of 2021, the site no longer exists.

6The series is notable for its MundaneFantastic universe and its later strips being more [[CerebusSyndrome plot oriented]] as opposed to a joke-per-strip comic.

8Not to be confused with ''Webcomic/NerfNow'' (a gaming comic).
