Webcomics: Which do you read, and why?

[Realitycrash]

I also try to find fans of the same webcomics I read, and even though I know they are out there, I rarely encounter any. But surely, there must be some of you here?
Anyway. I follow/used to follow;
Sinfest (Stopped when it become Lighter And Softer, the new religion-jokes weren't that interesting to me)
CtrlAltDel (Stopped when the storyline became convoluted and drifted away from the far more amusing video-game one-shot strips)
Penny Arcade.
MegaTokyo (Only manga I bother with reading. Really funny and the storyline, while convoluted, is interesting enough to bother following)
Homestuck (The early death of one of the characters was actually more moving to me than any supposedly dramatic death in a show or movie that I've seen in years)
LookingForGroup (Drifted out of it when the plot became too stretched out with few things happening in every comic)
Gunnerkrigg Court
Something Positive


So, how about you guys?

Questionable Content

Homestuck

XKCD

Penny Arcade

Sinfest

All of them good. Though I wish Homestuck would update more frequently.

 

[FalloutJack]

Schlock Mercenary
Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Fire
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
Bob and George
XKCD
Looking For Group
Narbonic
Adventurers!
PS238
And a whole slew of stuff from fireball20XL.com which would take a bit long to sort through.

 

[Mocmocman]

XKCD,
Girls with Slingshots
Girl Genius
Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether
Critical Miss
Weregeek
Questionable Content
Bad Machinery (ScaryGoRound)
SMBC
A Softer World
The Dreadful (Nuklear Power)

Ones I used to read:
Girly (it ended.)
Name Game(hasn't updated since the Crusades)
Ctrl-Alt-Del (I got bored, in the middle of a huge arc)
Living with Insanity(It went away, came back, and then the artist went away, and I had a lot of comics on my plate already.)

EDIT: I also read Gastrophobia, Fanboys and Modest Medusa, but those last two are on shaky ground at the moment.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

QC and Girls With Slingshots, because they update daily. GWS has some good art, but neither are very funny.
Penny Arcade, because it's fun and it's a tradition for me. If you count The Trenches, it's also a daily update.
Ctrl+Alt+Del, because it's so bad. Sooooo bad.
Oglaf, because it's hilarious, it's got good art, a decent mythos going on and can be sexy sometimes. It also updates Sundays.
Blooming Faeries is like Oglaf, except it leans more heavily on the sex. Everything else is meh. Not as fun or shameless, really.
Finally, XKCD, when I remember to check it out. I like Perry Bible and VG Cats as well but they NEVER update :/

Comics I USED to read:

Dr. McNinja. Sorry Chris, I can't keep up with the fucked up arcs and timelines. I'm never sure when one ends and another begins and I feel I'm always going on a limb reading the next webcomic. It doesn't help that you keep betraying your update schedule either.
Johnny Wander. Regular slice-of-life comics were funny, but then this "arc" started out and it's been going for 70 issues. These guys update twice a week. That means they've been going at this arc ALL YEAR, since FEBRUARY. And I could care less for it, sadly. I want Ananth and Yuko back, but I like them too much to even mail them about when and if they'll get back to regular comics.

 

[Frezzato]

Dr. McNinja
Oglaf
and...

Spoiler: Hark! A Vagrant

Hark! A Vagrant [http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php]
The artist references a lot of history (she is, after all, a student of it) and some of the jokes go over my head. Panels like this one however, show that she does have a sense of humor, and her brush technique and drawing style are just wonderful. I wish I could draw like her, and I went to art school.

[/spoiler]

Oh right, there used to be this awesome, risque comic online called Varla Dayne, but it went offline. You can see what I'm talking about here [http://blog.drawn.ca/post/1151958298/varla-dayne-as-i-understand-it-a-fellow-named]. The style was simply gorgeous, and I'm sad that it disappeared.

I never 'got' Schlock Mercenary. It just didn't appeal to me, maybe because the early art-work was horrible. And horrible in that weird sense..Like he really tried, but failed. MSpaintadventures are (well, were) bad with intent, and I could work with that.

Oh, I also read XKCD.
And Scandianvia And The World (which is shockingly accurate at times).
And Saturday Morning Cereal, because it's hilarious. It's like the Liberal Arts version of XKCD.

 

[Vegosiux]

That's actually quite true, he himself notes that the comic also shows how his art progressed "from bad to marginally less bad". And I agree about the art. The humor kinda grew on me though.

You should try Homestuck. The shit starts at "Convoluted" and ends at "Clusterfuck".

 

[Vausch]

XKCD: because getting the smarter jokes makes me feel smug.

Ctrl+Alt+Del: Say what you will about the storyline, ever since the "reboot" it's actually been a lot funnier.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: See XKCD, also because I have to admit sometimes the jokes make me get a little philosophical.

Kevin and Kell: The orange and blue morality is really something rather interesting, otherwise it's rather funny.

Cyanide and Happiness: Do I need a reason? That sh*t's hilarious!

VGCats and Super Effective: Funny, and I love Ramsoomair's art style.

 

[DementedSheep]

For humor
Oglaf (NSFW, it's largely sex jokes)
Dr McNinja
Flaky Pasty
Cyanide and Happiness
Questionable content
Feywinds (good art and the plots actually getting kind of interesting)
Contemplating Reiko (doesn't update often)
LFG (when I remember it exists cause I lost interest in it)
I use to read Order of the Stick but got behind and haven't bothered catching up because it's so long.

For art and story (most of them have a fair amount of humor to)
Gunnerkrigg Court (this is one of my favorite things right now)
Unsounded (also awesome though Sette is annoying as hell at the start)
The Fox Sister
The Meek (hasn't updated in ages unfortunately)
Spindrift (hasn't been going long so I don't really have much of an opinion on the plot yet but the art is beautiful. That alone is reason to read)
Off White (not a fan of animal protagonists generally but again good art)
The Zombie Hunters
Drowtales (might drop this one)
Flipside (also probably going to drop)

 

[Thomas Barnsley]

I recently got into Darths and Droids. GREAT stuff, I recommend it to anyone interested in Dungeons and Dragons or Starwars. Just don't be discouraged by the fact they started in 2004ish and are now numbering in the thousands of strips.

Tried to get into Romantically Apocalyptic as well, but I confess it makes very little sense to me. Also read a bit of Spindrift, LeLatte (a new one), and Manly Guys Doing Manly Things.

 

[LetalisK]

XKCD (MANDATORY READING FOR EVERYONE)

That one just makes me feel dumb.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I read these lots for the humour/ comedy-
Nerf Now
Awkward Zombie
Darth and Droid
Manly Guys Doing Manly Thing

Also there Bleedman comics on Snafu since I liked his artstyle

While I did used to read Megatokyo but at some point I found the plot went pear shape and lost track at what was happenning and lost interests.

 

[DeltaEdge]

After I accidentally completely deleted my internet history, I fell out with a lot of webcomics I was reading.

Currently Reading:

Cucumber Quest(I usually try and keep up-to-date with this one most of the time)
Bittersweet Candy Bowl(Occasionally)
Boxer Hockey(Rarely, but the slow updates made it somewhat easy to ease back into)
VGCats(For the same reasons as Boxer Hockey)

Comics I haven't checked in with since the history deletion:

Sandra and Woo(Will probably check in again at some point)
Gaia(Will probably check in again at some point)
Ctrl Alt Del(Probably won't get back into it)
Allan Wood(Probably won't get back into it)
Nerd Rage(Will probably check in again at some point)
Gunshow Comic(Will probably check it out again at some point)
XKCD(Not too worried about it atm)
Happle Tea(Will probably check it out relatively soon, since I didn't fully enjoy it due to being a christian at the time of reading it, but have since transitioned away from religion, so I'd like to read it again, now that I am in a better mindset to appreciate it.)

 

[BartyMae]

Regular (mostly because they're funny, but also because of decent to great plot and characters):
Sam & Fuzzy
Dumbing of Age
Roomies!
Shortpacked!
Order of the Stick

Semiregular:
Questionable Content
Romantically Apocalyptic
Post-Nuke (due to very infrequent updates)
Gone with the Blastwave (also due to infrequent updates)

Used to be a regular follower of Looking for Group and Darths and Droids. Now I'm not, I guess.

I recently got into Darths and Droids. GREAT stuff, I recommend it to anyone interested in Dungeons and Dragons or Starwars. Just don't be discouraged by the fact they started in 2004ish and are now numbering in the thousands of strips.

That's still going? I used to follow them, but I remember it getting a bit dry some years back...(wow, it's been a long time), and just not readding it to my favorites after reformatting. I should go through DM of the Rings sometime again.

(edit) Whoops! I also read Critical Miss. Huh. Kind of embarrassing to not even mention it...it's what made me start coming here to begin with, if I recall correctly.

 

[Vern5]

Order of the Stick: Because it is well written.

Three Panel Soul: Because its funny and references Dwarf Fortress

Oglaf: Because I'm an adult.

 

[Dr.Susse]

I've been very unadventurous with my Webcomics.
The only ones I read frequently are Critical Miss and Fraught with peril which both happening to be on this site.

I'd highly recommend Fraught with peril, even though it's only just started, with it's incredibly odd humor.

I used to read Awkward Zombie; Manly guys doing manly things; cyanide and happiness and Name game.

 

[mitchell271]

DO not follow them as much as I used to:
SATW

SATW? Scandanavia and the World? It feels like not that many people read it despite the facebook page having more than 100k followers. It's one of my favourites!

OT: Lot's. Too many. I had to sort my bookmarks based on when it updates. I'll just post the webcomics, because if I start posting manga series it'll take a while.
