One of my old favourite gaming webcomics, PvP Online, has been doing a few strips about mobile check-in apps like Foursquare and Gowalla. Brent, the resident Apple fanboy and general snob, claims mayorship of the nearby coffee shop, only to be ousted by teenage coworker and BlackBerry-user, Francis.
