1Pt.Rule is a thrice-weekly webcomic following the trials and tribulations of two graphic designers named Newton Lee and Conrad Thompson, written and illustrated by Nate Voss.
The strip is rife with design-related humor, but isn't going to be filled with the usual run-of-the mill jokes.
"When we write our first make the logo bigger joke, you know we've jumped the shark," says Voss.
Readers can visit 36point every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning to catch the latest strip.

lan Aldridge embodied the spirit of the 60s and 70s. His evocative, psychedelic images epitomised the feeling and art of an era.
As The Beatles lead an unstoppable assault on the global charts, it was Aldridge's designs and visual identity that defined The Beatles image and music in a changing world.
Still busy creating today - he was responsible for the look of the House of Blues in Los Angeles, Aldridge is an artist, an illustrator, a graphic designer, art director and film maker.
He masterminded the seminal art book The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics and designed Andy Warhol's iconic Chelsea Girls film poster.
As Art Director at Penguin, Aldridge produced ground- breaking covers.
Commissions for The Rolling Stones, Elton John and illustrations for the award-winning children's book The Butterfly Ball and The Grasshoppers Feast will be included in the exhibition, the first complete retrospective of Aldridge's work in the UK.
This exhibition will cover Aldridge's career to date, from the early 60s when his whirling designs refreshed the somber tone of Penguin book covers, to his collaborations with The Beatles and their Apple record company, through to serving as creative director to the original Hard Rock Cafe.
Commissions from Andy Warhol, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John and The House of Blues will also be on display alongside photographs, sketch books and illustrations from his seminal children's books.
