…for some values of “modern” and “popular.”
Skin Horse is an awesome webcomic (from the creator of Narbonic) which you should check out. You should especially check out this strip.
I’ve done some fan art for the strip, which you only have to read the first two story arcs to understand – only about 160 strips total. It looks a lot like what you might expect who chooses to make video games that are all text to make.
Some enterprising person should probably make a Skin Horse IF for them.
