Concerned
From my good friend Andy Stingel, a link to a Half-Life 2 cartoon series titled "CONCERNED: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman." Here's an excerpt of the outstanding premise:Gordon Frohman arrives on the scene a few weeks before Doctor Gordon Freeman -- scientist, hero, anti-citizen, and star of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 -- first appears in City 17. Due to the similarity in their names, Frohman is often initially mistaken for the crowbar-wielding Freeman, though due to Frohman's chatty nature and general incompetence the error is usually sorted out fairly quickly.
While Gordon Freeman is brought to City 17 to free the remaining human population from the iron grip of the Combine, our mild-mannered Gordon Frohman has no such goals. In fact, he rather likes the Combine, thinks City 17 is a great town, and absolutely idolizes Dr. Wallace Breen, whose television show he watches religiously.
Here's the link to the entire premise, and it's very witty:

And here's a link to the first strip (navigate anywhere from there):

It's all very clever, full of inside jokes, and often downright inspired.
