Dueling Analogs (a pun on the Dual Analog Controller) is a webcomic by Steve Napierski (also the creator of The Outer Circle). The website was launched on November 17, 2005, and new comics were posted every Monday and Thursday. Dueling Analogs is a gaming comic and as such most of the comics take place in the universe of the games discussed. There are few ongoing stories or plotlines as all of the comics are self-encapsulated (one exception is the trial of King Bowser[1]); however, there are repeated themes such as 'Rejected Mega Man Villains',[2] 'Games that I am glad were never made'[3] and 'What if...?'.[4] Dueling Analogs is also a founding member of a webcomic group of gaming comics.[5] The comic came to prominence in the webcomic community after the "So Dark the Contra of Man" strip.[6]

On July 31, 2018, Napierski announced that he was no longer going to update the website.[7]
