It's difficult to squeeze humor out of a situation as upsetting as the BP Oil Spill, but Virtual Shackles' "What They Do Best" does so in a pretty effective manner. Don't get us wrong -- it's not humorous enough to make us forget that in like, three weeks, the oceans will be overrun with hideously mutated, island-eating petrobeasts, whose misery-songs will pierce the nightmares of sailors young and old. But ... well, it's still good for a laugh, and that's probably why it won last week's Wrapup. Congrats!
Second and third place went to Penny Arcade's "The Universal Analogy" and Brawl in the Family's "Cartoons," respectively. If you've got a favorite strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, just drop a link in the (new and improved) comments section, or send in a tip!

| Readers pick best webcomic: SkiFree |
Long-running webcomic xkcd is at its best when it manages to combine humor, philosophy and references to old, old Windows games into a single strip.
