Erfworld: The Battle for Gobwin Knob is a fantasy/comedy webcomic written by Rob Balder of PartiallyClips and illustrated by Jamie Noguchi. It updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. Erfworld is published at Giant in the Playground ( [2]) which enjoys a massive amount of traffic [1] each day (possibly exceeding that of some traditional "print comic" websites, see graph in references section) alongside Rich Burlew's webcomic, The Order of the Stick, and is released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial, ShareAlike license [3].
The comic's humor largely revolves around fantasy videogames, roleplaying games, popular culture references, and historical references, with frequent puns and sight-gags, as well as letter changes in frequently used names (spidews, dwagons and twolls instead of spiders, dragons and trolls, for example).
Although a very recent arrival on the webcomic "scene", Erfworld has already garnered critical acclaim [2] from no less than Time magazine as well as other webcomic creators. [3]

Arkenhammer: Owned and attuned to Stanley the Plaid/Tool, the Arkenhammer has the power to control dwagons, and apparently can also turn nuts into birds.
Arkenpliers: Owned but not attuned to Prince Ansom, they apparently have the power to turn any "uncroaked" (presumably meaning "undead") enemy to dust.
