El Goonish Shive is the only webcomic I follow that is story based. So far anyway, I don't have time to read many webcomics. It is quite good, but a bit, or rather completely, bizzare.
I need a new webcomic to read

I'll just mention what I read:
Xkcd and Penny Arcade, quite popular should know about them.
The Gutters by Ryan Sohmer (LFG, LICD) about comics and the inudstry, Lets Be Friends Again another great one about comic books.
Questionable Content - a five times a week comic about 20 somethings, music, love and other stuff. Continuous storyline.
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - A pretty funny comic about science, history and religion. Kind of like XKCD in tone, a bit more vulgar but consistently funny.

If you don't mind a comic that updates at a slow rate (maybe 20 strips last year, but he's picked up the pace) try "Dresden Codak". For more reliable updates, look for "The Zombie Hunters" and "Nerf Now?!" For some relatively young comics, there's "The Dreadful", "How I Killed Your Master", and "Not A Villain". If you have a lot of time on your hands (like, can drop a week or two), look for "PPG Doujinshi" and "Grimm Tales from Down Below"
Just a list of the ones I check out.

Gosh darn it. Beat me to it. Yeah that's my recommend, its a pretty good comic, works better if you're well acquainted with Final Fantasy games, specially the first few however even without the knowledge it's still pretty funny.leet_x1337 said:
I would recommend VGCats however they take that long to produce a comic there's no point in following them other than checking back every few months to see if anythings been added.
If you're familiar with the fucking weird as hell comic, Gunshow, then you might have heard of the series The Anime Club. If not, it's about four teenaged boys who are in a club devoted to anime. There are only a few "episodes" and it can get kind of NSFW at times [small](prime example: Part One: Mort Brings Porn to the Library)[/small] but I still recommend it. The guy's other stuff... well, just be warned. It can get pretty weird.
The Anime Club
There's also Blank It, which is about two guys trapped on a blank but constantly randomizing plane of existence. Updates are pretty slow, but there's about a few hundred pages worth of stuff, so there's enough to keep you occupied for a while.
Blank It
Next we have Gone with the Blast Wave. It's a shame, really, because the guy doesn't really like making the comics, but they're really funny and well written. It's about two soldiers who were separated from their squad in a post apocalyptic city.
Gone with the Blast Wave
Nextly, we have Moe. Okay, I know you wanted something a little more story driven, and Moe has some story, but it's a comic that goes under the radar for a lot of people and I really wish they would check it out. Moe is a loser. He's dumb, he's crappy at socializing, and he has the shittiest luck. But he pulls through, with his kid brother Bo. At first, it doesn't seem like there's a real story. It's just random comics about Moe in ever changing environments. And it's true. Still, there's still some story arcs that are really entertaining to read. Plus, it has a sense of humor that I find to be very different from anything else I have seen! Check it out.
Moe
Lastly, there's Rice Boy. Again, this doesn't fully fit your criteria, as it isn't very humorous. But I figured that it would make up for less of the story than Moe. Well, really, it's more of the world that's interesting. Rice Boy is sort of hard to explain... mainly because I forgot the story. That's because the story is actually pretty forgettable. However, it's a very fantasy heavy world. It has you just wanting to see what's next because the world is so fantastic. By the way, when I say very fantasy heavy, I mean "not ripping off Tolkien this time." Again, the story isn't the greatest feature.
However, the writer has written another story, Order of Tales [small](which is kind of "meh")[/small], and is in the middle of writing another [small](which is actually fantastic, in my opinion)[/small]. The latter, which I recommend more than Rice Boy and Order of Tales, is Vattu. It's about a tribal girl who gets sold into slavery. It's very dark and mature and I love every bit of it!

There's all of the web comics that [small](mostly[/small] fit into your criteria. If you check them out, please tell me what you think of them.

It's very, very good. And I'd recommend buying it in book form. I read the first three books that way, and I would have read the last three that way if I could have afforded it.Vault101 said:
Here's the five that I read almost daily:
Go Get A Roomie,
VG Cats,
CTRL ALT DEL,
BitterSweetCandyBowl,
Girl Genius.
The last one is the only one that centers around a plot. The others just have story arcs every now and then.

Jolly Jack's Sequential Art is good. Its about an artist and his two room mates, a penguin and a cat girl and the crazy stuff they get up to. Its plot driven but it spends a lot of the comic on day to day stuff while every now and then getting into a long story arch.
If you don't mind furry then Jay Naylor has a couple of amazing webcomics. Better Days, which he's finished but keeps on site and Original Life which is currently ongoing. Better Days is about a brother and sister dealing with life from childhood into adulthood. It has funny elements to it but can get very serious and a bit dark at times. Orignal Life focuses mostly on the children of two of the main characters from Better Days and is much more light harted.

The only webcomics I really read are Misfile and Cyanide and Happiness. So read them. Cyanide and Happiness is funnier and Misfile is story driven.
Concession is fairly plot-driven.
The plot makes no sense, but still... and the guy who did that is coming out with a new comic later this year.
Questionable Content is good as well.
XKCD and Penny Arcade aren't as plot driven, but they're still good. Plus, PA hosts Extra Credits now...

cool, if I can find the first volume I will (damn stores always have number 2# or #5 but never 1Queen Michael said:
...no I cant buy online) I wonder why it was released free online...I guess it seems like a "personal" project or whatever, Im not enitrely sure how things work
Homestuck is kind of an obvious one, but another one in a similar vein I'd recommend is Prequel [http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/], particularly if you're an Elder Scrolls fan. Its a bit more adult than Homestuck, but its incredibly funny and very well made, with a protagonist you just can't help but like no matter how badly she fails at performing simple tasks.
There's also Question Duck [http://questionduck.smackjeeves.com/comics/955887/001/] which, while not plot driven gets some really good art and is consistently adorable and thought provoking, especially since a lot of the questions have answers that the comments are happy to provide. No idea when it updates though.

I'm just curious as to what you guys saw in Homestuck. Not only is it one of the most poorly drawn things on the internet, but it was just boooooooooring. Does it get interesting more than 30 pages in?OmniscientOstrich said:
