I used to read loads of those [online comics] but now I just read XKCD, it has the right amount of humour and it doesn't feel like the author is pressuring himself to make it funny every week [But it is] now something like Penny Arcade/GU comics/all those others, they are just beginning to suck more and more over time...sadly.

I've got a few game ones RSSed, Nerf Now is a short laugh at least, but most of mine are not gaming related. Anyone want a list of mine if we're making this a more general "What I read"?

Does seem that way for Nerf Now. I'll probably assign it to the bin if it doesn't get better, le sigh.

I also had to check what "ITT" stood for. Man, a choice between "In This Thread" and "I'd Tap That". I hope it's the former.

These are not *that* varied I suppose, but they're all to my tastes Wink I'm not saying anyone else will like them but it's always worth trying something new. I'll be checking out what other people post (as long as they don't mention Ctrl-Alt-Del).

These are in no particular order...

Excellent Reads

Minus - Excellent comic about a strange girl with strange powers - large print comics, not one of these "daily comics" or one with a span going over several strips, which is really good artistically. Has finished now, so read from the start.

Better Days - Follows twins through stages of their lives. The anapromophic thing doesn't seem to come into it much (I think that's more for the extra smutty things sold on the site). The actual content is pretty damn good - covering a range of family, sexual, children and adult topics. Start from the beginning.

Order of the Stick - If you know D&D this comic is pretty amazing. Both pretty in the art style (refined stick figures never looked so expressive and good), and amazing in the way it has over 5 story arcs, long term character goals, changing circumstances, impressive character choices and so forth - all fitting into some nice cliché's about standard character archetypes. Read from the start - the later comics won't make sense otherwise. The additional comics he's released (which I've got) go into some of the backstory - it's pretty amazing the thought put into the reasons why characters act the way they do. Read this if you do like humorous comics, but also want some involving plot and characters rather then one off jokes.

Irregular Webcomic - Plenty of fun had using Lego Minifigs. Mainly good classic comedy, ie; Witty puns Wink along with some strange mix of genres (several things going on at once! although at the moment it's one big story where every single story arc is dead and meeting each other, brilliant!) - great comments from the author David Morgan-Mar about a whole range of topics, you learn while you read, since he is a smart witty guy - a Dr. at a University in Australia.

Girl Genius - Extravagant artwork (I've got the comic books from this actually, it's very nice - and all available for free online which is impressive). Not the greatest writing as such, a load of fanboy content too, but still has a good general long storyline, mad science is great fun, and there are some really good jokes in there. Start from the beginning.

Ozy and Millie - a really well written, really funny comic about a whole host of bizarre things (such as a Pirate who grows younger in time...), centred around the title characters who happen to be two young anthropomorphic foxes. Starting from the beginning is nice because you don't only see the characters evolve, but the artwork, and setting. Very long running too (currently sporadic updates after the last arc finished, but promised future content, not bad for being free).

Truck Bearing Kibble - No words, only great art - situational comedy, parody, or just strangeness. I love this one, there's sure to be one that you get a kick out of Smiley Shame it doesn't update too often, I guess a lot of work goes into it, it looks great.

Dilbert - I'm in IT and computing, I can say the jokes resonate very well. It's surprising how everyone's manager seems to be a bit of a PHB Smiley

Interesting Odd Ones

XKCD - Comic on random scienc-y, technology, philosophy, love, and other random things. Very geeky, I love it, it's nice for a quick look when it updates, usually simple short comics in a rather refined stick man style.

Garfield Minus Garfield - Takes out Garfield, making the comics actually funny when Jon does so many insane things. There's the odd gem there for sure, a real deconstruction of it comics and art, really, since it's such a simple change but makes Garfield bearable - a real work just from that.

Lucid TV - very irregular updates, but some really, really black jokes about doctors and healthcare. Funny dark though, it is just so wrong sometimes. Gives me a chuckle at least Smiley

Qwantz - Dinosaur Comics - It uses the same panel layout ever comic. It's more a back and forth of dialogue then anything too serious. The reason it's not in my excellent reads is it can sometimes just not be entertaining I guess. Worth checking out though for sure Cheesy

Others

Three Panel Soul - From MacHall, this is just random bemusing comics. There are sometimes real gems of comedy or observation, but sometimes is just them doing comics just about themselves that only they get, heh.

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella - This is a bit of fun parody of superheroes, but not getting massive praise because the main character is a little too dickish rather then just lazy. Still some great jokes from time to time, and entirely random little stories to be honest.

Sam and Max - actual Steve Purcell stuff, with some interesting design into speech bubbles. However; 1. It has seemingly stopped updating in ages and 2. It's currently so short the story actually goes no where! I'd give it a quick read just to see a different style from your standard way of providing dialogue.

FreakAngels - I've just started reading this relatively new comic. Longer story arcs (in a more classic comic book feel) is the way. It looks nice, and was quite pleasing to get into, I'm not wholly convinced just yet though. I like the way it updates several pages at once though Smiley allows much better dialogue and artwork. The story is based on some world catastrophe caused by some psychics for whatever reason (it's certainly coy about never revealing anything). That's one reason it's interesting - seeing a devastated London (I quite like that angle of storytelling).

No RSS Feed

Just because they are annoying for not having a good RSS feed, here are some others I catch up on whenever I can be bothered.

Dr. McNinja - Well written, now in colour, and entirely insane. I just love reading it to see how it tops itself each time, like riding a fake Dracula down from the Moon most recently. Parodies of everything in the book. I just wish it had an RSS feed! Worth reading the earlier stories first, it makes the later ones just make more sense.

Awkward Zombie - I love the art style, and while there are LOT of MMO comics, it's still pretty fun to read. It's one joke-per-comic way of working is pretty easy going, and it's pretty light stuff, not much in the way of "This sucks" like a lot of game comics.

Freefall - An amazing undertaking - it took a few years to have a single day in the timeline of this comics story - which is almost "real time". In any case, interesting characters and some intriguing plot is great. Switched to fan coloured a while back, I just wish it had an RSS feed. You'll be in for the long haul if you read it - so check it from the beginning.

Looking For Group - I assume a WOW-like world, but with really it's own setting. Not the best comic I'll admit - it is pretty formulaic in the comedy department, and doesn't do the drama parts to well, and is a bit confusing overall, but in any case at least the story continues and characters change, which considering some comics makes this worthy of awards just for that. Smiley Start at the beginning.

Exterminatus Now - Pretty funny comic by some British people set in the W40K universe (kinda, it's all anthropomorphic animals). Pretty good parody work and it looks nice too. I don't read too many 4 panels comics, so I check this out now and again (it doesn't update too often so it goes rather slow too).

Nice links

If you visit  Irregular Comic (it's worth it just for some of the authors notes at the bottom) click on the link to Darths & Droids, especially if you are into D&D or Star Wars.

Great list, Final, +1 from me

Only ones I'm really still into since the beginning are xkcd and OOTS, because they are both consistently funny and OOTS because the storyline gets better and better.
Surely nothing is better to waste time than a backlog of funny webcomics!

The Usual Suspects:

http://www.questionablecontent.net/ -- As art style progresses so does writing quality. Smiley I like it for the characters.

http://www.userfriendly.org/ -- Yes, I am a Geek.

http://www.dieselsweeties.com/ -- Some very distinguished play with language. Sometimes, just weird.

http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php -- This so reflects my day-to-day life.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic -- Just for completeness sake. Often amazed at the art.

http://www.licd.com -- From the creators of Looking for Group. Art is SFW, Content not so much. Wink

http://www.megatokyo.com/ -- Yes, it got less funny since "Does anyone here speak leet? -- j0!". Like the style though.

Rather Obscure ones:

http://www.zapgunforhire.com/ -- Also from the Foglios of Girl Genius fame, funny science fiction. Completed.

http://www.zapinspace.com/ -- Also SciFi Story, great art, bit of a weird plot though.

http://goblinscomic.com/ -- RPG Style comic, though a bit messier (in the red pixels sense) than OOTS. Smiley

http://weeshcomic.com/ -- Maybe I'm just easily amused.

I personally don't care too much about RSS, that's what Perl, MySQL and a cron job are for. Wink
