Dueling Analogs

Dueling Analogs was a gaming Web Comic created by Steve Napierski. While the comic did feature a couple of original characters, an Author Insert called Harvey, and Jeremy the Sony PR Gnome, it was well-known mostly for stand-alone parodies and gags of popular videogames.
Outside of one-off strips, there were running jokes such as the "Rejected Mega Man Bosses", and "Games I'm Glad were Never Made" series, as well as regular appearances of anthromorphised games consoles.
The comic ran regularly from 2005 onwards, though slowly moved away from original content, instead linking to articles and artwork from others, before ceasing altogether. The final original comic was posted in 2017.
