Man, I really wanted to like XKCD, but it just leaves me cold.

I forgot to list the rather wonderful Anders Loves Maria before. I am unsure of why this should be the case. Platinum Grit also deserves a mention; updates are few and far between, but each well worth the wait. It's fantastic stuff.

I just started reading Bear and Kitten and am enjoying the hell out of it so far!

Octopus Pie is a good comic by Meredith Gran, formerly of Skirting Danger.

Sinfest I haven't read it that much lately, but I used to like everyday.

Sinfest is brilliant, one of THE best web comics I know of.. :)  ^-^ Definately an alltime favorite that's for sure.

Yes, that's sad. I have about 40.  ;)

Not all are updating though.

I'll plug a few once I get to check the rest of he ones linked here so I don't repeat any.


And I agree that currently Sinfest must be one of the best webcomics around (it came a long way since it started)

You're sadder.   ;)  You don't mind if i bring that up to a friend of mine who's always bugging me about such geekitude, do you?

And yeah, a lot of the ones i used to read aren't updating any more, which makes me unhappy.

Count your sheep

Nodwick and Full Frontal Nerdity (click the pics with the names)
Schlock Mercenary
Sheldon
Sherman's Lagoon

I wrote my dissertation on online comics as a medium; ten thousand words when I handed it in, getting on for twice that now (I'm turning it into a book). Where's that on the scale?

Sinfest is beautifully drawn, but I've not read it in about two years and I don't miss it. It's just a bit...empty? I kind of feel like Ishida should be doing something a little different after what, six years? Seven?

Yeah I feel the same way. Plus I used to get them emailed to me and then they switched URLs or whatever and I never bothered to sign up again and they never bothered to do anything about it either so...  ::)

I'll add my 2 cents into this then.

I'll second www.schlockmercenary.com.  Pretty damn funny at times, and he's never missed a single day in the many years he's been doing the comic.  Family-friendly too, but still has plenty of innuendo at times.  Also good for science fiction lovers too.

Then there's www.somethingpositive.net.  Real funny stuff at times, yet can be emotional at times as well.  Also can be just plain *wrong* at times.  But in a good way.  Case in point - the very first strip involves the main character giving his ex-girlfriend a baby shower gift - a wire hanger.  I highly recommend it though, but it could be a bit offensive at times, and is definitely not family friendly. =P  And while you are at it, check out his other related comic, Midnight Macabre. 

How about a couple fantasy ones then?  Firstly, there's www.realmofatland.com.  Funny, twisted, bizarre, and more!  And plenty of fan-service for the guys out there. 
And next, there's a fairly recent one, www.lfgcomic.com.  Take a bit of World of Warcraft, Drizzt, Sword of Truth, Wheel of Time, and others, add humor, shake well, throw in a mass-murdering warlock (rather similar to 8-Bit Theater's Black Mage, but even better, and not so inept) for good measure.  There's even a horribly violent movie on YouTube starring the aforementioned warlock, seen here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g  Although, the comic itself isn't quite so violent, so don't get the wrong impression from the video.  They're even supposed to me making a full length animation too. 

Hmm, there's a few others I can think of.  But those are the ones I try to keep up with regularly. So, I'll just end this here.

I have read a few, Order of the Stick (from giantitp.com), Nuklearpower.com, vgcats.com, schlockmercenary.com.  That is about all I can think of at this moment.
