Umm… Yeah, that pretty much sums up Greg Hyland’s Lethargic Lad character. And if you’ve never read his superhero parody series, well, you suck. It’s damn funny. If you like things like The Tick, you’ll dig it.

I used to read the series back when it was in print, and while I’m not really a fan of Web Comics (You just can’t store them nicely on your bookshelf, y’know?), I’m glad to see that Lethargic Lad is still alive and kicking.

Greg’s done a great job of throwing all sorts of things at the no-attention-span user with his Lethargic Lad website. Besides the weekly LL Web Comics, he keeps a regular news blog updating users about his work and offers one of the most entertaining Links section on any website I’ve ever seen. Dubbed the “Lethargic World of Internet Fun,” users get more than just a quick list of links. They get commentary along the way! There’s the “Lethargic Links” which are just some of Hyland’s favorite sites out there across the board, a What’s What in the Lethargic Universe section that gives a rundown on the main characters from his title series, some shockwave animation and more. All in all, just reading Greg’s comments about each section and link is worth the click. The only real negative I have to throw out about the site is the use of frames on the top of the page. Boo! Okay, on with the good stuff…

Some neat things I’ve been pleasantly surprised about is that Greg’s been doing comics for Lego’s packaging, such as on the Lego Batman and Lego SpongeBob SquarePants products. How adorable is that widdle Lego Bane? Next time I hit Toys R Us I am definitely checking them out! And according to his site, Greg’s working on comics for 3 different lines coming out in 2008. And he worked on a Lego project for them called AFOLS “A humorous look at the adult fan of Lego Universe”. This free one-shot comic is “essentially Dork Tower for Lego fans.” Even cooler, though, Lego asked him to create a Star Wars mural that was turned into an actual Lego mural! Take a look.

So yeah, if you’re a Lego fan, a funny comics fan, or just a fan of fun and entertaining sites, you should definitely give LethargicLad.com a visit. Umm… yeah.
