Recommend me a webcomic

[nerdsamwich]

Whoa, no suggestion for Cyanide and Happiness?
It's the best comic going and the artwork is fabulous

This guy forgot his irony font, btw.
Gonna give another vote to Doc McNinja and 8-bit Theater. Others of note include Least I Could Do (from the team behind LFG!), Menage A Three (often a bit NSFW), Flaky Pastry, Eerie Cuties, Weregeek, Treading Ground (kinda like Clerks, but more amusing), Between Failures (kinda like TG, but more main characters), Devilbear (he's the Satan of stuffed animals!), and I just started reading Olympic Dames, where pregnant teens receive super-powers from the demigod children they carry. Hi-jinks ensue.
That's all I got. Happy reading!

The Best Artwork, recurring characters, and now with story!

Don't you mean "now with story again"?

READ BEFORE POSTING
The kind of comic I'm looking for does all of these things:

*Tells some kind of ongoing story.
*Recurring characters.
*It doesn't have to be a humor comic.
*Jokes in themselves aren't a problem, though.
*Skilled artwork.

So yeah, I DON'T want you to recommend me XKCD. (I mean, hey, I already am a fan of it.)

Webcomics I already read include Girl Genius, Jack, Gunnerkrigg Court and, of course, Questionable Content.

This comic has all the things you wanted and is so betutifully drawn that youll think its photographs. [link]http://www.romanticallyapocalyptic.com/home[/link]

called: "romantically apocalyptic"

As far as I know, doesn't he take photographs, and then digitally alter them by drawing over them? That's why the characters are so detailed compared to the backgrounds. It is a really well drawn comic though, and it fits really well. Doesn't update half enough.

The Meek is brilliant, but it doesn't update often. It fits all your other criterion.

*hi fives*

That comic is simply amazing, pity that you can already tell it's going to take a few years to finish it's arc with such detailed drawings though, I want to know what happens already! I'll probably have to leave it for a while because of that, I like reading these kind of stories in full.

OT: My recommendation would be Octopus Pie [http://www.octopuspie.com/], because it's essentially what people read questionable content for, except it doesn't suck like that does. It's one of the few comics that can balance humour and character development well too.

DM of the Rings - On Shamus Young's website Twenty Sided. It tells of a group of D&D players who have never been exposed to the works of Tolkien playing through a Lord of the Rings campaign, and are continually frustrated with the story, the abundance of Orcs, and the lack of any good loot.

Damn, ninja'd but indeed, it is absolutely brilliant (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?cat=14)

OT: The order of the stick, the artwork is stick figures but if you like D&D, you gotta love it.

 

[Stilt-Man]

The only webcomics I really enjoy are:

http://www.axecop.com
http://www.nedroid.com

The latter doesn't meet your criteria, but I can't not recommend it.

If you like World of Warcraft, Teh Gladiators is decent.

The current Homestuck iteration is balls-achingly fantastic

If you wanted "skilled artwork" than why read QC? I love the comic, and I really like Jeph, but he needs to work on his same-facing. Not as bad as Adolf Buckley, but getting there. Just because you improved your art doesn't mean you should stop improving it, Jeph!

OT: Probably GWtB. I think its good, at least.

What do you mean by "same-facing"?

 

[Crossbourne]

I would recommend Sluggy Freelance. (www.sluggy.com)

The only thing is, it started in 1997, and is updated daily, so if you start now, you'll have about 14 years of reading to do.

I read most of the webcomics recommended in this thread and the other one, but Sluggy is the only one I check daily.

 

[Kezboard]

A Miracle of Science (finished) and Afterlife Blues (by the same people).
Both mostly hard SF with attention to detail.

Also: Narbonic.
Mad scientist hires computer guy. Hilarity ensues. Contains, among other things: A singing robot army, a secret moonbase, a conspiracy of everyone called Dave, Teleporters and a gay, hyper-intelligent secret agent gerbil who is also an unitarian minister.

HOMESTUCK HOMESTUCK HOMESTUCK HOMESTUCK [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/]

Andrew Hussie is a God of webcomics. Homestuck is the only webcomic so far that has fully used the medium - it includes reader suggestions (well, not any more), flash-based updates with music, frantic gif, a strange parity with a deliberately bad webcomic that's actually drawn by one of its characters, time travel, IM as the main only form of dialog, and videogames.

If you start reading it and feel it's going nowhere, continue to read until the meteor. (You'll know it.) If after that you still don't like it, then it's probably not for you.

Some other suggestions:

Phoenix Requiem. [http://requiem.seraph-inn.com/] Come for the strange magical Victorian but not steampunk world, stay for great character development. It's almost over too, so when you finish reading it it'll probably be over already.

Dead Winter. [http://deadwinter.cc/] The only zombie webcomic that knows zombie webcomics aren't about killing zombies but about human relationships under great distress. Great use of colour and gifs, too.

Kid Radd. [http://www.bgreco.net/kidradd/] If you read only one sprite comic... well, read 8-bit Theatre, but if you read two, the other one'd better be this one. Although whether or not pixel characters are 'skilled artwork' can change; they are all original characters in a variety of styles, though.

All of my other picks have already been suggested, so there you have it.

 

[OrokuSaki]

Personally my favorite is Megatokyo, it takes a while, at first it's just a humor comic, but after the first "Volume" (He makes his own) it has a story with interesting and sometimes funny characters. The site is megatokyo.com

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well I'm sure that most of the webcomics I read will or already have been listed; so I'll just recommend my favorite (now with the first comic in the series!):

Spoiler: Freak Angels- Awesome story, great artwork, and the occasional bit of humor

Spoiler: Blank It- Weird, but pretty humorous.

Spoiler: Erfworld- Filled with geeky references and pretty booping fun to read.

Spoiler: Some other webcomic. I can't quite remember all that much about it. Its okay I guess.

Edit: Hmmm... I guess I should have added links. Well here they are (also more Blank It so you aren't weirded out by the pantlessness).
Freak Angels [http://www.freakangels.com/]
Blank It [http://blankitcomics.com/]
Erfworld [http://www.erfworld.com/] (Just remembered that there are text updates later on the story, so I hope you like a bit of reading)
That other one [http://www.giantitp.com/index.html]. With the adventure group.

Actually, while Homestuck is scripted, Hussie has said potential future adventures might well have user input

Also, one mustn't forget Problem Sleuth, on the same site as homestuck (it's in the archive)

You might want to try Snafu comics. [http://www.snafu-comics.com] There are lots of good ongoing stories there, and most of the artwork is gorgeous (or at least the most recent stuff is).

 

[ThePuzzldPirate]

One I haven't seen is Drow Tales, easily my 2nd fave and has a really good art team.

Though be warned, the quality jumps quite a bit as they have re-made some old chapters.

Erfworld, Goblins, Keychain of Creation, Schlock Mercenary, and Commissioned. (Though it is worth noting that there are several different storylines in Commissioned and many of them keep getting derailed or simply come to a halt.) Serious Emotional Disturbanes is a comic by someone I know, but you might not like it.
