General Protection Fault (webcomic)

General Protection Fault (or GPF) is a webcomic created by Jeffrey T. Darlington. It centers on the employees of a small software company called GPF Software and their misadventures. Originally launched on the World Wide Web on November 2, 1998, the comic was hosted on Keenspot between May 2000 and March 2008 and was consistently one of their most popular titles during this time. It is now once again independently hosted.

GPF mostly consists of traditional newspaper-style comic strips with occasional double-sized full-color "Sunday" comics. It updated daily up until July 2006 (7.75 years, a significant duration for a webcomic), when events surrounding the birth of Darlington's son forced its schedule to become more erratic. The comic currently updates regularly three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Throughout the duration of its run, the comic has shifted between black and white and full color strips; it currently updates only black and white.
