1''Vinigortonio'' ([[http://vinigortonioenglish.weebly.com/index.html here in English]] and [[http://vinigortoniobrasil.weebly.com/ here in original Portuguese]]) is a hand drawn webcomic about three friends: Vinicius, Igor and Jose Carlos (and Igor's pet platypus) and the craziness that is their lives. Random antics and video game references abound.

38* CallBack: For such a random comic they have a lot of continuity gags.
