I'm afraid that although there are lots of hilarious DDC strips, I'm with Nate on this one. I can't summon up any enthusiasm for a comic that looks exactly the same every time. That's even lazier than the ever-increasing number of stick figure comics. I give Ryan North credit for the seemingly endless amount of mileage he gets out of a single arrangement of images, but DDC is still only half a webcomic.
And while it does stand out for its philosophy and such, it's definitely not unique in that regard. You can find that stuff in quite a few comics, from those that are slightly less lazy than DDC (Triangle and Robert) to those that are quite a bit less lazy (xkcd) to those that put some serious work in (PIXEL, 8-Bit Theater) and even the occasional fully-drawn comic (One Over Zero). And as Nate says, if you haven't checked out Kid Radd, you must.
