CAD is one of my daily checked web comics. After reading it for probably over a year, I enjoy it just as much today as I did back then. The comics begin back in 2002 and are released several times a week.

Drawing and art is important in a comic and the author of CAD does a brilliant job. The strips are noticeably more beautiful now than when they started, but the characters are still recognizable. It bugs me when characters go through an entire paradigm shift and resemble their former selves.

This comic focuses on two guys, Ethan and Lucas, who live together and play games. There are several other characters, a third roommate, a girlfriend, coworkers, but Ethan and Lucas are the focus. Ethan is your stereotypical gamer who is not entirely in touch with reality and goes to great lengths to improve his gaming experience. Lucas is more mature and is continuously attempting, miserably, to save Ethan from his own adventures.

Not only does the comic tell the story of those two, it occasionally has a single strip that takes place in a game. These are generally completely unrelated to any other strips and speak of the author’s most recent gaming experiences.

If that is not enough for you, there is one character who does is not part of the main plot who has his own series of strips. Words cannot describe these.

CAD is one of my favorite strips and if you enjoy video games, you should check it out. I must admit if you are not a gamer, it probably won’t interest you. (Don’t worry, I have some comics for you too!)

On the RaydenUni scale of comics, where 1 is abysmal, and 5 is reserved for my very favorites, this one has to get a 5.
