What's your favorite webcomic, still running or not?

I say Yahtzee takes on the world *Sheds single tear for lost webcomic* is the best webcomic EVER! That and I repledge my hate towards Alt-Control-Delete.

I am ashamed to admit, I do enjoy xkcd. Actually, there are three levels of shame:

The shame I get from reading the comic
The shame when I don't understand some esoteric allusion to mathematics or science
The shame I get when I do understand it

xkcd, and I haven't read one I didn't get.

Odd comic.

I am somewhat partial to Kraken Rations, but that's for reasons unknown to me, really.

I dabble in Explosm, Buttersafe, and Irregular Webcomic is usually FTW.

xkcd, and I haven't read one I didn't get.

I am experiencing a strange feeling, a mixture of envy and the sense of superiority I feel when I see people less cool than me. :)

Sluggy Freelance, no hesitation.
LICD
LFG
CAD
SMBC

College Roomies from Hell and Megatokyo are the only two I read regularly anymore. I might get back to some of the others (Order of the Stick for example) now that I have the internet in my actual house again. Speaking of which, I wonder if either has updated?

<goes to check>

Hard to say, considering how many I read and how rapidly my tastes shift. At this moment in time, it's Girly.

I think this one (http://www.explosm.net/comics/237/)is my all-time favourite. So far.

Order of the Stick by a mile. Funny, nerdy, and one of the best stories in the webcomic world.

Rolling squid;13575738']Order of the Stick by a mile. Funny, nerdy, and one of the best stories in the webcomic world.

I refrained from mentioning that due to its power. Only the mighty may speak its name, but I may still QFT.

http://www.thedreamercomic.com/

Mainly because I love the time period. The art style of this webcomic is also beautiful. :-)

Order of the Stick pwns all.

...but Questionable Content, xkcd, and Something*Positive are also all excellent.

I also like Dilbert. If that counts as a webcomic, it is my favorite.

at the moment I'd say Subnormality (http://www.viruscomix.com/page398.html)

though I do enjoy:
Cat and Girl (http://catandgirl.com/view.php?loc=567)
Truck bearing kibble (less funny more art-astic) (http://truckbearingkibble.com/comic/2008/03/24/phantom-pain/)

and lets not forget Perry bible fellowship (http://www.pbfcomics.com/?comic=random)

I'm partial to xkcd, toothpaste for dinner, Dinosaur Comics, and Perry Bible Fellowship (RIP)

Perry Bible Fellowship (RIP)

huh?!

Easily Scary-go-round and its (not quite as good, but still fecking brilliant) prequel, Bobbins, both by the wonderful Mr. John Allison.

Kris Wilson does good work. I really enjoyed High Score (in spite of its short run) and the follow-up Bonus Stage. Electric Retard is also pretty good. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is probably my favorite.

As far as last thoughts go "Unicorns are real" is probably one of the better ones.

Penny arcade, xkcd, saturday morning breakfast cereal.

Also been keeping up with http://www.afterstrife.com/ . Not a huge fan, but I randomly started reading it when it first started, so I figured I'd be loyal. Pretty good so far, though.

SMBC, Married To The Sea, theWAREHOUSE, xkcd, Cyanide & Happiness.

huh?!

Well, PBF isn't actually dead, just not updated very much anymore.

Level 6 Girlfriend?

Perry Bible Fellowship (RIP)

Er... no. He didn't end it. He's just going to produce comics at a more comfortable pace for himself and do some of the other things he wanted to do with his life.

Too many to name...

Depends if you're looking for humor or not.

For funny, it's not running anymore, but Men In Hats http://www.meninhats.com/

If you don't just mean funny, then Jack. http://www.pholph.com

Mature content in Jack, but I love it.

Ditto... although I would like to mention the latest webcomic I'm going through.

Evil Overlords United. It has spunk. :D

Level 6 Girlfriend?

I bring my homework with me.
Judge me as you will.

huh?!

Er... no. He didn’t end it. He’s just going to produce comics at a more comfortable pace for himself and do some of the other things he wanted to do with his life.
Like get syndicated. PBF is in the Guardian now, and it’s seriously slowed down the updates on the site. Still, it’s an ace (web)comic.

As to my favourites, obviously the usual suspects are there (Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/), xkcd (http://www.xkcd.com/)), but I’m quite partial to a bit of Beaver and Steve (http://www.beaverandsteve.com/), Wondermark (http://wondermark.com/d/394.html) and White Ninja (http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/comics.shtml).

However, Warren Ellis (of Transmetropolitan fame, comics fans) is doing a webcomic called Freak Angels (http://www.freakangels.com/?p=23) which is shaping out quite nicely. Could be the best thing to hit the webcomic scene in a long time.

CAD is basically the worst thing ever. Tim Buckley is a massive prick with a huge ego and no talent. Go to your favorite search engine, type in "Tim Buckley sucks" or something similar and find out for yourself.

In fact, I've come to realize that most of the webcomics I used to read are garbage. PBF and Penny Arcade are among the few decent ones.

We need a thread where we make fun of horrible webcomics.

I read Order of the Stick, xkcd, and I've recently started reading Real Life. (After being linked to one and going through the entire archive, as is my habit when reading a new webcomic... the entire archive that goes back to November of 1999, one almost every weekday.)

SPOILERS

vgcats.
zebeth.com. Metroid related.
nuklearpower.com. Final Fantasy I related and has all your favorite archtypes. Mentally challenged fighter/knight (class change) who is sometimes smarter than the others. Thief/ninja who specializes in stealing and contracts and such. Red mage/mime who's an arrogant rpg nerd who is obcessed with stats, xp, quests, and coming up with plans and answers that are impossible. Homocidal Black mage/blue mage who hates the others, but still accompanies them.

CAD is basically the worst thing ever.
I think any webcomic revolving around video games pales in significance next to Penny Arcade. CAD, VGCats, etc., are all a bit tired and dull.

Thingpart.
Sinfest circa 2001-2002.
A Softer World.

When I was younger I liked Joe the Circle, the first volume... I don't think it's online anymore. Boy Meets Boy. And Wendy. I don't really remember why.

Sometimes I like Pictures for Sad Children but sometimes it was just okay. I think it's over now, but I like the one about not sleeping and how it is just as good as marijuana, because it's true.

Hackles: http://www.hackles.org (RIP)

xkcd: http://www.xkcd.com

and cectic: http://www.cectic.com

I also quite liked Fans when it was running (and before it became paid only).

I also quite liked Fans when it was running (and before it became paid only).I think it became free again after it ended.
A lot of graphicsmash/girlamatics/moderntales comics have gone free again.


I read far too many webcomics to have favorites, really.
And there's a bit of a bias towards the one I started reading last, because reading the archive makes them come across much better than reading on a day-to-day basis.

Cyanide and Happiness, Order of the Stick, and Looking for Group are my favourites.

well i don't really have a one favorite. there's a whole bunch of them that i've seen that i like. some are by people i've met and i like and some are by people i've never heard of and probably never will.

i can't remember the names of very many of them either. i know there's a couple of mega sites that host, each of them, several of the ones i like.

generally those that i do, have either a furry, sf, or fantasy theme of some kind, but then, i would hazard a guess that probably describes most of them.

gene catlow, kit-n-kay boodle, freefall, but like i say, those aren't even neccessarily my favorites, just the first, and those just barely, names that come to mind, oh of course there's ozzy and millie, and sabrina on line and vg cats and ...

yet i wouldn't call any of them my favorites exactly, and it's hardly ever that i even think of them. there arn't any that i fallow all the time.

i just every once in a while stumble accross a reference to one of them and remember, oh yah, i remember that one, i wonder what's going on there now, and then maybe go and check it out.

but even that doesn't reall happen very often.

so i mean, its yes i know there there and i like quite a few of them, but there arn't any in particular i actually fallow.

=^^=
.../\...

Too many to mention... but if pressed to name three I'd say Scary Go Round, The Order of the Stick and Penny Arcade.
Also Digger, but it isn't free :(

The only one I look at regularly is Questionable Content. I used to read Venus Envy back in the day when it was still regularly updating.

Some of you lot, on the other hand, seem to read so many I'm surprised you get anything productive done in your lives, what with your NSG commitments too :p

CAD is basically the worst thing ever. Tim Buckley is a massive prick with a huge ego and no talent. Go to your favorite search engine, type in "Tim Buckley sucks" or something similar and find out for yourself.Patently untrue. CAD is nowhere near the level Lightbringer is, and Lightbringer (http://lightbringer.comicgenesis.com/) is smashtastic compared to some of the crap I've seen elsewhere (which will not be named, because publicity and scorn is all those guys want).
Tim Buckley gets singled out because he copy/pastes a lot, runs a gamer comic, is a mediocre writer, and makes a living off of it. He's not the worst out there by a long shot.

Anyway, I read the following:

Elf Only Inn (http://www.elfonlyinn.net) (often goes on hiatus unannounced)
Darken (http://www.darkencomic.com) (a comic about an Evil D&D party)
Reckless Youth (http://recklessyouth.comicgen.com) (about a guy that's the new Messiah)
The Perry Bible Fellowship (http://pbfcomics.com/) (usually hilarious)
Ctrl+Alt+Del (http://www.cad-comic.com) (I read it because I can relate)
Tales of the Travelling Gnome (http://ttg.comicgenesis.com) (fantastic art, but updates on a monthly basis)
The Prime of Ambition (http://jaadrih.comicgenesis.com) (fantastic art when it gets done)
Tales of Pylea (http://talesofpylea.com/) (a rather nifty, disneyesque style)
Parallel Dementia (http://pd.milkinthepantry.com) (a well-written and well-illustrated comic about evil creatures and the people that kill them)
The Zombie Hunters (http://www.thezombiehunters.com) (a pretty fantastic Zombie Comic that now features a jerk that looks almost exactly like I do...)
Dead Winter (http://www.deadwinter.cc) (an unconventionally styled Zombie Comic)
Legostar Galactica (http://legostargalactica.comicgen.com) (currently on hiatus)
and The Curious Adventures of Aldus Maycombe (http://aldus.comicgen.com/) (when it updates, that is...)

Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life (http://www.bohemiandrive.com/comics/npwil.html).

For Humor, Penny Arcade, although Secret Life of Mobs is really good.

For just general arc following, I absolutely love Banished (http://www.banishedonline.com/).

Exterminatus Now combines humor and storyline pretty well, too.

Oh, I almost forgot Perry Bible Fellowship. That comic is really a work of art.

Tim Buckley gets singled out because he copy/pastes a lot, runs a gamer comic, is a mediocre writer, and makes a living off of it. He's not the worst out there by a long shot.

No, he gets singled out because he's an asshole. An untalented, hugely successful asshole. And that he's successful just pisses us off more.

I enjoy the "VG Cats", "Another Halo Comic Strip", "One One 7even" and "Larry the Marine".:)

No, he gets singled out because he's an asshole. An untalented, hugely successful asshole. And that he's successful just pisses us off more.How so?

Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/)! It's the only webcomic that I ever bought in printed form. Not only because I had to own it, but also I really wanted to support the creators so they can continue producing awesomeness. I also like Ctrl+Alt+Del, Dilbert, Userfriendly, Penny Arcade, PvPonline, 8-Bit Theater, Dominic Deegan and Van von Hunter.
My favourite discontinued web comic would be Return to Sender (http://rts.lunistice.com/).

"The Last Days of Foxhound" over at Gigaville (http://www.gigaville.com/).

Granted it's a fancomic, and the characters don't always act in character, and the artwork isn't...good...but the writing is excellent.

Favorite for four years now.

I think it became free again after it ended.
A lot of graphicsmash/girlamatics/moderntales comics have gone free again.


I ddin't think it was even UP anymore. YAY! I can re-read it!

http://www.calicoelectronico.com/

But I don't think it would count as a webcomic. Is more of a Flash series, and I love it.:D

In no particular order:
Control-Alt-Delete
Order of the stick
8-bit theater
PAWN
Girl Genius
Goblins

How so?

Okay, here's something that happened a few years ago.

A fan of his gets the idea to do some kind of live action CAD fan film, because he loves CAD so damn much. He gets some pals of his to play along, and they dress up as Ethan and Lucas and generally goof off in front of a camera. He posts it on the CAD forums, thinking that maybe Buckley will get a kick out of it.

Tim Buckley threatens the poor kid with legal action.

There's also that more recent business with him sending pictures of his penis to some 14 year old girl. Go to the CAD forums; last time I checked, there's this banner at the top where Ethan says "Welcome to the forums. Play nice or we'll kill you," or something to that effect. That was put in place around the time the penis news got out, and mass bannings ensued. I'm pretty sure that in order to join their forums now, you need approval from two moderators. Criticism of Buckley's work, no matter how mild, often results in a quick ban.

Go ahead and look this up if you want; I'm pretty sure I got most of the details right.

"The Zoo" by Gabe Strine. May "The Zoo" rest in peace

Looking For Group

It sounds like good reasons to hate him, but then again, it sounds like things made up about him by people that can't stand him.
If the allegations prove true, though, I may change my opinion on him.

I like many already posted, but here a few I like:

The Abominable Charles Christopher (http://horhaus.com/abominable/) beautifully drawn. Reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes without Calvin.

Pictures for sad childeren (http://picturesforsadchildren.com/)

Dinosaur Comics! (http://www.qwantz.com)

The only one I look at regularly is Questionable Content.

I do not understand that webcomic. Perhaps I am not 'rad' enough.

I do not understand that webcomic. Perhaps I am not 'rad' enough.

I read it, but I don't think I really laugh. I'm just hooked because it has a continuous plot. And nice, big, clear drawings.

Understandably so, considering that if he doesn't, he'll lose the exclusive rights to his characters in animation. Considering that he hopes to earn money off of

Well, I'm no expert on copyright law, but from what I know, I'm pretty sure that the fan film falls under fair use. Now if the kid had intended to make some money with it, Buckley's reaction would be justified.

Can you point me to a reliable source? All I've found so far could easily be urban myth. It sounds like good reasons to hate him, but then again, it sounds like things made up about him by people that can't stand him.

Yeah, you have a point; once the internet gets a hold of something, the truth can get hard to find. Plus, I'm a little hesitant to do a search for "Tim Buckley's penis" for obvious reasons. Yes, I've unfortunately seen a picture of the alleged penis, and no, I'm not going to link it here. It might take me some time to find a reliable source, but I'll try. Depends on your definition of "reliable", I guess.

I actually used to read CAD now and then, because I had nothing better to do, and it was amusing sometimes. I stopped, however, when I realized that Buckley is a huge tool.

But he doesn't have one. Allegedly, at least. :p

for a couple of reasons

1) It's my friend who does it
2) I was featured in one

I do not understand that webcomic. Perhaps I am not 'rad' enough.

Yeh, totally. You're epically unrad, dude. Whereas I am one cool cat. Word.:)

VGCats, Cyanide & Happiness, Penny Arcade are the top three.

I poke through Order of the Stick and 8 Bit Theater as well, though the latter's tendancy for long drawn out monologues tends to make my brain hurt at 3am which is usually when I am bored enough to read web comics.

In order:
Order of the Stick
xkcd
Full Frontal Nerdity
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Nodwick

Penny Arcade for the win, which reminds me that I have not read it today

<snip>

I read Rob and Elliot for a while, since Clay was doing the awesome guest-Sluggy's. Started reading Clay's Cosmobear, too. But turned out the guys on his forum were stuck-up assholes, and Cosmobear was going nowhere fast. Rob and Elliot got old after a while, too. Still gotta give Clay credit for Bikini Suicide Frisbee Days on Sluggy, though. Best guest artist yet.

I used to like El Goonish Shive; Grace was a great character. I stopped reading it when every plot was either about homosexuality or sex-changing. I miss the good-old days when the comic was about inter-dimensional wars and invading aliens, and the characters remained their own gender 80% of the time.

I read Rob and Elliot for a while, since Clay was doing the awesome guest-Sluggy's. Started reading Clay's Cosmobear, too. But turned out the guys on his forum were stuck-up assholes, and Cosmobear was going nowhere fast. Rob and Elliot got old after a while, too. Still gotta give Clay credit for Bikini Suicide Frisbee Days on Sluggy, though. Best guest artist yet.He was probably the best guest artist Sluggy ever had. I'm sad to see him go after all those Saturdays...maybe he'll come back in the future...

Well...as for webcomic forums, I think the best one to browse out there would be Penny Arcade's. It seems to be a relatively relaxed place where one can discuss anything and everything they like. As opposed to the one for CAD, which is regulated to the point where the slightest mistake can cause one to be banned for days. It makes Catholic Mass look more like 4chan in comparison.

Hrm...the only other webcomic forum I like would be the one for Dominic Deegan (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/). The comic itself is god awful, but the forums make up for it with the insults and criticism.

Except for when it's an Oasis story arch. Then shit gets crazy.
ZOMG KEVLAR!

Dominic Deegan is way better if you pretend that everything that happens in it is the universe reacting to him being a gigantic asshole.

Surprised no one has mentioned schlock mercenary which is a pretty funny scifi comic. The artist hasn't missed an update in like 7 years as well.

Well, I'm no expert on copyright law, but from what I know, I'm pretty sure that the fan film falls under fair use. Now if the kid had intended to make some money with it, Buckley's reaction would be justified.Depends on the quality of the film. If I recall correctly, the fanmade fictional trailer for "Dick Grayson" made DC put a moratorium on fan-films.

But he doesn't have one. Allegedly, at least. :pYeah, people really hate Buckley. Now the question is do they hate him for the bad things they say he did or do they say he did the bad things because they hate him? Urban dictionary and forum posts aren't exactly what I'll use to base a final judgement on, and so far that's all I've found.

Darken (http://www.darkencomic.com/)Kate nearly broke my heart with the whole treatment of the bear and when she told me he'd stay dead... =(
Then he got to go to heaven. In color! =D

Something fans of Fans may not know . . .


He's actually started writing more! Until someone told me I could find the old ones still online I thought he had stopped writing the comic. Haven't gotten to the new stuff yet, still reading my way through the classics.

faans.com

Interesting use of the infinite canvas.

Yeah, that's one of the things I like about it.

I'm gonna use this oppertunaty for a shameless plug and declare this one http://http://davidwynne.livejournal.com/ the greatest ever web comic.

How has no one mentioned ( as far as I have read anyway :p) Sinfest!

http://www.sinfest.net

Rejoice in its ways!

Schlock Mercenary is my fave, I've been reading it for years and have never got bored of it.

I also read Order of the Stick, Looking for Group, PVP, Cyanide and Happiness and 8-bit Theatre.

I used to read RPGWorld Comic and Men in Hats while they were still going.

How has no one mentioned ( as far as I have read anyway :p) Sinfest!
