Rooster Teeth Comics
Rooster Teeth Comics, written by Griffon Ramsey and drawn by Luke McKay, is a Web Comic that ran from August 15, 2006 to May 30, 2019, about the daily lives of the Rooster Teeth staff (also known as the guys who brought you Red vs. Blue). It is slightly fictionalized (Matt is not, in fact, dead and revived for helping the Devil with his marital problems) and makes topical, gaming and dick jokes.
