That was one of the weirdest comics I've read.

What do you get if you mix three bored Americans, a disagreement about the best webcomic, and a shared love of freaking awful puns? You get this bizzare daily strip, which deals with everything from hipsters to PeTA. It has to do with puns, too.
Started as a bet in early 2011, Freaking Awful Puns has earned a growing readerbase. It has three authors, each with distinctive styles.
- Loungegecko, the founder of FAP, is a Shameless Self Promoter who leans more toward the bizzare. Loungegecko is the main author, and has the most comics uploaded.
- GIROG, a ridiculously sexy example of a true man. His comics mainly focus on a pair of unnamed characters. The tall one is shown as being Too Dumb to Live, and the short one is a Child Prodigy. GIROG supplies most of the puns, although they are rarely punchlines.
- Laim, who likes internet memes and who-knows-what-else. His comics have very few similarities, other than their black-and-white style. It's still funny, though.
Tropes used in Freaking Awful Puns include:
- Cut and Paste Comic
- Dada Comic: Many strips fall into this category.
- Depending on the Writer: The comedy styles of the three authors are very different.
- Fun with Acronyms: self-explanatory.
- Also Freud Was Right
- The Rock Star: Twinkles[1]
- Also provides an example of The Napoleon.
