Ctrl Alt Del is a video game/comedy/drama webcomic by Tim Buckley. It is also the source of the infamous "loss.jpg" meme.
So you had these two really popular webcomics with elements that had obvious appeal: Dudes on a couch playing video games, sexy chicks with huge boobs who wanted to bang the MC [Main Character], robots [...] But could these elements be combined? One man dared to dream they could. And in 2002 he made his dream a realityGiven what a joke it’s rightfully since become, I feel the need to emphasize that CAD was one of the big early webcomics, and helped inspire it’s own share of imitators. It’s probably fair to say that it was more influential than even Penny Arcade, in that it had more elements that could be slavishly copied and passed around.
Fandom
While it has been a widely-known comic for years, Ctrl Alt Del has often been viewed negatively. It's a fandom meme that removing the middle two panels makes most strips funnier. [1]
