Megatokyo

Megatokyo is a popular webcomic originally created by Fred Gallagher and Rodney Caston. It is now written and drawn in manga style by Gallagher. The comic was started on August 14, 2000. Megatokyo's contents and comic strip on the website are available completely free. They are a ongoing webcomic updating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It has also been translated unofficially into other languages that are available elsewhere on the web (see translation section).

Megatokyo took its name from its Internet domain, which had hosted a short-lived news site of Caston's before the start of the comic. The news site in turn took its name from the city in the Bubblegum Crisis anime series. Megatokyo frequently uses "L33t speak", and some argue that the comic helped to introduce that style to a more mainstream audience.
