Three Panel Soul has one of the oddest trajectories of any webcomic I’ve read.

It started out as a vaguely gaming oriented gag-a-day spinoff of the artist’s previous Wacky College Hijinx comic, featuring older versions of some of the same characters. It was never supposed to be more than a casual side project.

It has now been running for twelve years, with an archive of over 600 strips. The current storyline involves a suburban wizard and her stage magician boyfriend investigating the paternity of a pair of baby fire elementals.

I may need to look back into it…

Burger King will give you a whopper for one cent if you go within 600 feet of a McDonald’s and order one from their app

First of all, power move

Second, this means any poor person with a phone and the new Burger King app can literally get food for a penny just by going to McDonalds, which is probably a goddamn lifesaver if you’re regularly worried about where your next meal is coming from

This lasts until December 12, 2018

So, yeah. Save some cash and stay fed.
