Bigger Than Cheeses is a web comic by Desmond Seah. It launched on March 15, 2001, and currently updates on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. The strip follows a group of people and their sometimes funny, sometimes disgusting, and normally just plain strange antics. The humor is almost always absurdist.
The two main characters were originally rip-offs of Sluggy Freelance, and still maintain some of the resemblance. Over the years the comic has gone from being very poorly drawn in MS Paint, to slowly evolving into a decently drawn colored strip.
The author has a strange hate for fellow web comic Ctrl+Alt+Del, and there is an entire page on the Bigger Than Cheeses website dedicated to discussing why BTC is better than Ctrl+Alt+Del.
The unusual name of the comic comes from the fact that, when said aloud (Especially with a British accent), it sounds like "Bigger than Jesus," which is both a John Lennon misquote and amusing blasphemy. According to Seah, he would have called it Bigger Than Jesus, but too many people would have protested and it would have been more trouble than it was worth.
Along with every webcomic, the author also publishes a short commentary, and throws in an IRC log that he always thinks is funny.
