Stickman and Cube

Stickman and Cube is a Stick Figure Comic by User:Pieguy 259. It's a gag strip with not much in the way of a plot, though small storylines do crop up here and there.

The plot, where it exists, involve the two title characters, who are, surprisingly, a stickman and a cube, breaking the fourth wall, running amok, insulting the author and occasionally doing battle with the two main villains: Robo-Cube, Cube's psychotic robot duplicate intent on destroying humanity, and The Hat, an ugly parasitic hat which can control its wearer's mind.
