Okay, I have to admit; that is pretty funny. Reminds me I should go read more webcomics. Good ones though.

It manages to be completely stupid yet entirely unfunny. Which goes to prove all web comics suck except Penny Arcade and Fat Jesus.

Penny Arcade is like the Garfield of webcomics.

This one is pretty funny though.

The only thing I laughed at was animu girl's outfit.
Faith issues like these...I've seen better handled elsewhere, all satirically.
"Noodly appendage"...was all right. >.>

To the uninformed, there is a fake religion that believes in the "Flying Spaghetti Monster." It helps to know the history behind this comic's punch line.

That is because the Spagetti Monster was unfunny and stupid. Intelligent Fallling however was genius.

"Intelligent Falling" is indeed about 100x better than this webcomic. The "flying spaghetti monster" thing was old a long time ago, and there are far more intelligent ways to satirize religion. More to the point, I just don't find this comic funny. I get the joke, it just seems lame to me, with no real payoff.

ROFL!! Intelligent Falling, that's a new one. Can they not provide any real-world examples of where their theory works that gravity doesn't?

I'm pretty sure it was a satire of the Intellegent Design lobby rather than a serious theory put forth by a Christian pressure group.
