Comic about the Singularity
Today's Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. (Which incidentally is a very funny webcomic I read regularly.) Mouseover the red button for a bonus panel.
Clearly the author hasn't read the proper Eliezer essay(s) on post-Singularity life.

Pictures for Sad Children had a comic about the singularity. It made me facepalm pretty damn hard, though.
It's been quoted at TV Tropes (sixth quote) for a while; I finally gave in and added a dissenting quote just now, despite it being from an obsolete page.
This should be a link on Open Thread, not a top-level post.
I wasn't unduly distracted and the comic is actually quite (half unintentionally) insightful.
I disagree. New posts on an Open Thread disappear really quickly, and there's a good chance I would have missed this one.
I found it a welcome change of pace from the rather heavy posts of the past few days.
I did consider that. Is there a formal rule about what links deserve separate posts, or just a judgment call about notability?
No formal rule as far as I know.
If there is, I'd like to know too, for when(/if) I try my hand at a top-level post. Hopefully the rating and moderation system is good enough such that no formal rule is needed.
SMBC rocks.
Here's another recommendation. Many LW readers probably already know about Dresden Codak, a sometimes funny, sometimes serious comic that touches on many Less Wrongian topics, including the Singularity (especially the Hob sequence).
Dresden is great, but it updates so infrequently I wouldn't say I "follow" it.
I tried reading Dresden Codak sometime ago and failed. It's really well-painted, but the storylines are hard to follow. In comics there seems to be a fine line between being too cryptic (Dresden Codak) and too word-heavy (anything by Enki Bilal); for how to do it properly, see A Lesson Is Learned which is/was likely the most awesome webcomic ever.
