What webcomics do you read?

[tread_softly]

Just a thread to see what you guys all read. List what ones you like and give recommendations!!

I read the staples like Explosm. (http://explosm.net/)
Also love Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (http://www.smbc-comics.com/), simple drawing style and very funny.

Used to read CAD but dumped that a while ago when it became piss poor. Still have a look in at VG Cats (http://www.vgcats.com/) when it's seldomly updated.

Oh and PBF (http://www.pbfcomics.com/) finally have a new one!!

Think one of favourites though is Oglaf (http://oglaf.com/)
WARNING, IT'S VERY NSFW!!!!!!

Here's one I can show here:
http://oglaf.com/media/comic/also_elves.jpg

It's filthy, but the artwork is top notch and it's hilarious. Plus, Ivan is one of my most beloved main characters, I feel so sorry for him :frown:

[Dartz]

Have a thing for XKCD. Especially This (http://xkcd.com/638/) one. When XKCD is good, it's good.

[Zen 2nd]

I read a few :D

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (http://drmcninja.com/)
Updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday
In a world where a doctor can also be a ninja, you can expect some things. Little boys with large moustaches, giant lumberjacks, raptor riding banditos, Dracula's moon base... If you like action mixed with comedy and doctors mixed with ninjas, Dr. McNinja is a comic you'll most likely enjoy

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (http://www.smbc-comics.com/)
Updated every day

xkcd (http://xkcd.com/)
Updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday
A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

Ménage a 3 (http://www.menagea3.net/)
Updated Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Set in Montreal, the finest bohemian city in North America, Ma3 follows the lives of comic book geek, Gary and his way-sexier-than-he-is roommates in their Montreal tight-as-a-sandwich apartment; where the walls are so thin there are virtually no barriers between their rooms.

Candi (http://www.candicomics.com/)
Updated Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
A college story


Hark, a vagrant (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php)
Updated randomly but regular enough
Kate Beaton was born in Nova Scotia, took a history degree in New Brunswick, paid it off in Alberta, worked in a museum in British Columbia, then came to Ontario to draw pictures.

I enjoy this one quite a lot :D

Sandra and Woo (http://www.sandraandwoo.com/)
Updated Monday and Thursday
Sandra and Woo is a comedy webcomic featuring the 11 year old girl Sandra North and her pet raccoon Woo.

Eerie Cuties (http://www.eeriecuties.com/)
Updated Monday and Wednesday
It's comedy horror meets cute. The cast consists of teenage monsters in high school.

I enjoy all of them and they all over something different to each other so it would be very difficult for me to pick out my most favourite one :D

[Lance]

machall (http://www.machall.com/): entertained me for a few weeks till I caught up and realized the creators moved onto threepanelsoul (http://www.threepanelsoul.com)

Megatokyo (http://www.megatokyo.com/): read the first 5 books worth and got bored. Might restart some day.

Lol-comics (http://www.prguitarman.com/): racist at times but still funny :3

Dueling analogs (http://www.duelinganalogs.com/): general gaming comic.

F@NB0Y$ (http://fanboys-online.com/): Sort of like Ctrl-Alt-Del but ya know, actually good. also updates are crazy. took a year for the last one.

xkcd (http://xkcd.com): nerdy shit.

pictures for sad children (http://picturesforsadchildren.com/): Pretty entertaining when they update.

A Divine Dramady (http://graphiteplayground.com/index2.php?date=2006-01-10): Finished but damn good art and story.

Sore thumbs (http://sorethumbs.keenspot.com/): Loved this when I first started reading it for obvious reasons.

God Mode (http://godmode.keenspot.com/d/20050915.html) : which I started reading many moons ago and completely forgot about until now..

Also. thanks Fiona loving oglaf :3

[Stinkini]

Electric Retard
Antics
Gunshow
PBF
Starfighter
Nana's Everyday Life

Haven't read pictures for sad children, or Dr. McNinja in a while. I'd also recommend Antics if you like Cyanide & Happiness.

I love Oglaf! I think the labyrinth one is my favourite.

ChannelAte (http://channelate.com/)

The Oatmeal (http://theoatmeal.com/comics)

[tread_softly]

Haha, no problem, it's great isn't it :awesome:

[Pisobella]

Looking For Group only - http://www.lfgcomic.com/

[Daito]

Alas the only web comic I read frequently is Multiplex
http://multiplexcomic.com/

http://www.multiplexcomic.com/images/strips/multiplex-468.png

[CyRevenant]

I read quite a lot of comics. Some good, some terrible. Some have already been mentioned so I will try to avoid repeating them.

I will list a small sampling of these now.

Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/) - Frequently excellent.
Sinfest (http://www.sinfest.net/) - One of the best comics on the internet.
Buttersafe (http://buttersafe.com/) - Random
Hark, A Vagrant (http://www.harkavagrant.com/) - Historical and literary hilarity.
XKCD (http://www.xkcd.com/) - Everyone reads XKCD. It's a given.
Questionable Content (http://questionablecontent.net/) - Funny twenty somethings in relationships.
Shortpacked (http://www.shortpacked.com/) - Funny twenty somethings in relationships, and toys.
Nedroid (http://nedroid.com/) - Random
White Ninja (http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/comics.shtml) - Hilariously Random
Happle Tea (http://happletea.com/) - Mythological Hilarity
Pictures for Sad Children (http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com/) - Conceited
Space Avalanche (http://www.spaceavalanche.com/) - Other
Cat and Girl (http://catandgirl.com/) - Thought provoking
Wonderella (http://nonadventures.com/) - Terrible Superhero
Hijinks Ensue (http://hijinksensue.com/) - Nerdy
PvP (http://www.pvponline.com/) - Beardy
Virtual Shackles (http://www.virtualshackles.com/) - First genuinely good video game comic since Penny Arcade.
Gun Show Comic (http://gunshowcomic.com/) - This is just great.


These are more story based than comic strips.
Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) - Steam punky
Freakangels (http://www.freakangels.com/) - Written by Warren Ellis

I read about three times as many comics as are listed here, but the rest are either terrible or updated too infrequently to be worth mentioning. If your favourite webcomic isn't listed here, it's either very obscure, or in fact terrible and you should stop fooling yourself. Or, like I said at the beginning, someone has already recommended it.

One comic deserves a special mention, and that is MS Paint Adventures (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/)

Particularly the now finished though amazing Problem Sleuth (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/PS_titlescreen/) and the ongoing and great Homestuck (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6).

If you ignore everything else I posted, (and you shouldn't because they're all great) you should read these.

[MarkMI6]

Nobody's mentioned:

Amazing Superpowers (http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/) - deathly hilarious, updated I think Fridays and Mondays.
Bunny (http://www.bunny-comic.com/) - so, so cute when you get him on a good week, like this:

[OkamiShade]

I read

Dominic Deegan- one of the best story driven webcomics I've found. Mookie, the creator is one of the best updaters I've ever followed and has written consistently good story arcs with fantastic character development.

Least I Coud Do- it gets a few good jokes in. Same crowd that do LFG

Looking for Group- it's pretty good, but the richard fans aren't. If you are a richard fan, your kind are not people. I say this from experiencing you.

Real Life Comics- It's good sometimes, sometimes it isn't. One of the older comics though (started back in '98) so if you plan on reading the entire archive, best of luck

Redstring by Gina Biggs- I love this. It's a romance webcomic I've been following for a few years now. Gotta admit I'm a sucker for a good romance (which webcomics generally speaking lack....)

Phoenix Requiem- Very good story and fantastic art. Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays, usually 2 pages per update. I recommend giving it a read.

Sam & Fuzzy- a good comedy with some rather odd humour. Fridge possessed by satan, one of the lead characters is a small bear... thing... That sort of comic, but good none the less.

Penny Arcade- Who doesn't know this by now?

Marsh Rocket- A great comic following Marsh, a corporate hitman in the future. If you ever played Shadowrun, you might be interested in it.

Weregeek- A nice comic following a group of nerds with arcs of their game play which can be really cool. I like the shadowrun and d&d arcs myself, never got into their vampire larp arcs.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal- already mentioned

Realm of Atland- a great fantasy comic with a unique art style, updates thursdays. Great fantasy story.

Three Panel Soul- Written by the guys who did MacHall. Sometimes they get some fantastic jokes.

Finders Keepers- I like this one a lot. It's by Garth Graham who did comedity before moving on to this. It's a nice modern fairy tale kind of story. Lots of intruige and Garth's art is cool.

XKCD- Hit and miss to be honest, though I do enjoy the occasional stats joke.

Ctrl Alt Del- A gaming comic with ongoing character stories. It can be good.

Lovecraft is Missing- If, like myself, you are partial to a spot of lovecraftian horror, you may enjoy this.

VG Cats- good sometimes, would be great if he could... I dunno.... update once in a while...

Dresden Codak- A bit out there, but worth a read. I enjoy the humour and the pseudo science shenanigans.

Applegeeks- Hawk's art can be FANtastic sometimes and Anath's writing is decent. Some pretty cool arcs featured.

The Zombie Hunters- only updates Mondays, but it's quite good. Story focuses on a rag-tag bunch of zombie hunters in a post pandemic world.

Drowtales- Someone read this and tell me if it's good anymore. I got sick of it after the last reboot. It was great when I was reading it. Really epic storyline about drow.

Megatokyo- ... if he could update, maybe he'd still be in my favourites bar, but no. Though I love the idea of a magic girl whose power is to steal things.

It's part of Web 2.0 - in the future, visitors will be able to scrawl all over the comic, until it's completely hidden beneath the layers of graffiti.

Your sidebar encroaches over the comic too, did you miss that? Scrolling up and down doesn't help as the sidebar moves with the site.

The only ones I really keep up with are CAD and VGCats.

[tread_softly]

I really don't like CAD anymore, it used to be very good, now it just irritates me o.0

Yeah Lance, Oglaf is quite short, but it's updated weekly. I live for Sundays!!

Thanks for the Multiplex link Daito. Spent all day yday catching up. It's awesome.

[Dahtac]

This (http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/) is really good as well. Not your traditional webcomic and it's only updated a few times a month, but its great quality and the first 75 pages make for good reading

[Zen 2nd]

Here's one from Hark! A Vagrant.

[CyRevenant]

Oh, I knew there was a comic I forgot to mention.

Clockwork Pandas (http://hellstrom.smackjeeves.com/) is the home to webcomics and some of the animation by greyden here on the forums.

Currently running is Mystery of the Murderman, which is turning out to be quite interesting.

It also doesn't have any of that transparent web2.0 overlay nonsense.

I kinda liked today's one! I didn't think it was particularly funny, but I liked it all the same. Though having said that, none of the recent strips have made me laugh, or have been partiuclarly memorable.

I mostly just read Questionable Content from time to time, and lately, fanboys is updating again, so it brings me great joy to go back and read a fun comic. :D

I used to read one hillarious webcomic a few years back, just had one giant catchup session on it. It was a pisstake of RPers, even featured one character who was RPing Kid Goku, along with other serious RPs. I can't remember the name for the life of me, but if I ever find it, I'll link it. :D

SATW is Classic. I always read www.hijinksensue.com. Great we comic for geeks. Least I could do is also brilliant. Some comics may be a little nsfw mostly for language but it tends to be more restrained than say.… south park

[Switch-Renn]

I read Homestuck very, very rarely. I only got like... 3/4 of the way through Act 2 before I stopped reading because I was finding it kinda boring (inb4 YOU HAVE TO KEEP READING IT GETS SO MUCH BETTER).

Maybe one day I'll get further.
