I mean, I didn't get into webcomics till college - but given how many webcomics are now out there, and how easy it would generally be for kids to get online, I can certainly see them delving into a variety of webcomics. As Yuhana says - nerds are nerds. When I was 12 I was reading Dragonlance - if I had been born 10 years later, it might have been Order of the Stick instead. So it goes.

Maybe you haven't been around real kids lately, but they can be pretty clever. I was obsessed with Douglas Adams (and understood his wry humor quite capably) when I was 12; certainly Megatokyo is within the bounds of reason. Much more likely is that nerds are nerds in any era, and the badges of nerd-dom are simply shifting with the times. You underestimate the intelligence of 12-year-olds.
