The Adventures of Nerd Boy was a 635-episode webcomic drawn completely in ASCII which ran from 2001-2006 (with the last two strips drawn in 2007 and 2016). EOF

That said, I can't seem to read past Episode 30, the navigation links are broken, and the main nerd-boy url goes to a php error. Mods??? Help???

Hm, yes, I'm seeing the entire run now. The navigation links are still broken, though.
