As I have no life, I actually follow and care about a couple of web comics as my daily routine.

For instance, I'm so addicted to MegaTokyo that I've bought all three print volumes.

Even though I can and do read the strip online for free.

Sluggy Freelance. Best. Web. Comic. Ever. (Although today's isn't particularly good.)

There's a ton of continuity, so you have to start at the beginning to fully appreciate it.

Succubus Justice is probably the only one I read regularly.

Mack's is nice, too.

I read Dominic Deegan, Order of the Stick, A Miracle of Science, 8-Bit Theater, and Ctrl+Alt+Del. All of them are very nerdy comics. All of them are excellent.

I read Dominic Deegan^, Ctrl+Alt+Del^, Penny-Arcade, Two Lumps, VG Cats, and white ninja.

The normal comics I like are Get Fuzzy, Dilbert, Fox Trot, and Pearls before Swine.

Kevin and Kell it's the only one I've ever been able to get into, I think I've read through the whole thing 4 or 5 times.

I like questionablecontent

Something*Positive, Sinfest, PvP Online, Tom the Dancing Bug, among others.

The big problem I have with webcomics is that after I read a few I want to start my own. I'm not good at drawing sequential art, don't have a few extra hours each day, and already have more than enoguh projects I'm procrastinating about, but it would be so cool...

I used to read SP but stopped recently for obvious reasons, but not for his references to OSC.

I only read one web comic.
 
Posted by Rico (Member # 7533) on :
 
Penny Arcade is my favorite by far.

My husband got me hooked on Penny Arcade. We have matching T's with the "fruit" robot on them!
 
Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
 
A Miracle of Science, which is a long dramatic story rather than humor. Also, Casey and Andy, a hilarious comic about two mad scientists who live in the same house.

My favorite isn't just a web comic, but it's in so few periodicals that most people probably can't find it other than on the web. It is called The K Chronicles , and is created by Keight Knight, who is one of the only two people two whom I have ever written fan mail.

Another that I found funny more often than not (though also sometimes crude or just plain bizarre) was The Parking Lot is Full . It is now defunct, but the archive is maintained.

You prolly stopped reading Megatokyo because Piro updates so rarely. That's why I stopped for a while...

Then I just went back and read the archive and caught up. It didn't take very long.

I also read: PVP, Chopping Block , Dilbert (hey, it's on the web), and now, Something Positive.

I used to read Bruno, but after it had been too whiny for like, 2 years, I stopped.

I also stopped reading User Friendly and Sinfest.. I should really start reading those again.

Here's the short list:

El Goonish Shive Transformations and magic with good characters and cute art. (Warning: homosexuality)
Girly Awesome art, hilarity, and heartfelt sentiments. (Warning: homosexuality)
Zebra Girl Occult humor with terrific art. Unfortunately, rarely updated.
Theater Hopper Really silly theater humor. This week is Sin City takeoff week, so keep that in mind when you see the comic.
Joe and Monkey A delivery boy named Joe and his monkey friend Monkey fight the evils of the heinous Kleptobot with popular culture commentary.
Wapsi Square Relationships and ancient Aztec Gods in the Twin Cities. [Smile]
RPG World Takeoff of RPGs everywhere, this infrequently updated comic is chock full of humor.
Elijah and Azuu Daily fun with Demons and Angels. The art isn't great, but the story's pretty good.
Nothing Nice to Say The world's first online punk comic.
Coffee Achievers Alternate universe version of NN2S. Many of the same characters in freaky-weird situations.

I love webcomics. I also read many if not most of the ones already listed. [Smile] I also have
my own webcomic, though I really dislike tooting my own horn, and I have problems updating.

I don't see why people had to get so upset about this.

Wow. That's a remarkably good reason not to read MegaTokyo.

I will give you a nickel if you now delete your earlier post. [Smile]

Either that, or kacard can do it.

Ryuko, Thank you for pointing me at El Goonish Shive. It is really really really cute. Even if it does have a furry as a main character.
 
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
 
I know, it's really cute. When I first read it, I didn't even know what furries were. Then later on I realized, but I still like it, because it's not really in the furry subculture, it's just fun.
