| - Bytes of Life is a gag-based Web Comic starring two humans; Kakujo; his his baby daughter, Ilia; and various video game characters, mainly Nintendo's, though others, such as Sackboy from Little Big Planet appear on occasion. It is written and drawn by Bryan Lacie. The comic uses a full-colored, mostly cell-shaded style. If you are a fan of Nintendo, real-world/game-world mashups, or video games in general, this is a web-comic you must read. It can be found at its umbrella-site: KakuJomics.

* Alt Text: All the comics.
* Anticlimax: You're lead to believe Luigi is going to partake in some bad-assery. However, as usual, the poor guy is only fooling himself.
* Art Evolution: In addition to the normal color/shadows, the lines became smoother and highlights were added, over time.
* A Worldwide Punomenon: Most of the comic titles are puns. Plus, the occasional pun is thrown in, for good measure.
* Bathos: To Kakujo, protecting his loved ones and home from moths is serious business.

* Creator Thumbprint: The comic follows various characters from Nintendo's franchises and a few others, but Kirby is most prominent, usually appearing with Kakujo.
* Cross Dresser: Sackboy's lady-friend has a little more (or less?) to her than she's letting on.

* Gross Up Close-Up: Wobbuffet's face in the 7th and last panel change drastically.

* Incredibly Lame Pun: Another CSI: Miami pun.
* Jerkass: Goomba the Douche.
* Little-Known Facts: Creepers from Minecraft are Jehovah's Witness.
* Long Bus Trip: Kakujo, and especially Ilia, disappear quite often to give way to traditional gag-parodies.

* Tricksters: Gengar's cruelty holds few things sacred, let alone a meek little Diglett.
* Troll: In most webcomics, Captain Falcon's (in)famous Falcon Punch is usually depicted as borderline Tourette Syndrome. In this comic, however, he's just patronizing Kirby.
* Necrodeus' evil spreads even to poor Yoshi.
