So...Who reads what?

*insert Goblins and Order of the Stick...And Erfworld, I guess*

Aside from the DnD-based comics, I also read Girl Genius, and sporadically check on Sinfest.

Awkward Zombie is pretty funny, too, in a random sort of way.

I read Looking for Group when it was just starting, but it didn't really hold my interest.

I like VGCats, but, oddly enough, I like Super Effective a lot more because it's a serious nostalgia trip for me.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

  • VGcats and Super Effective.
  • OOTS and Erfworld.
  • Misfile.
  • Irregular Webcomic.
  • Everything at Snafu Comics (PPGD FTW)
  • Dr.McNinja
  • Krakow - In Soviet Russia, Webcomic Reads YOU.
Used to read Dominic Deagan, but I decided to stop after Snowsong. OP main character, jumped the shark many story arks ago.
Goblins goes from funny to really freaky and violent. The two extremes really make it hard to stomach. Stopped recently. I may stop caring about Erfworld if it does that too.
I had a signature here once but I've since lost it.

Heh. Forgot about Darths and Droids. I'm months behind by now.

There are also many that I haven't kept up on recently. Goblins, 8-bit Theater, Errant Story, Sinfest, Under Power, Girl Genius, Applegeeks, El Goonish Shive. Being on deployment with a slow connection speed limits your webcomic reading capabilities.

  • Freefall
Freefall was good until the author revealed that there is a mental suggestion on Florence that shuts her down when the right sound is played. Not cool, especially in a humorous comic.

xkcd is plain awesome.

I read way too many of these. My current favorites are Girl Genius, Saturday Morning Breakfast cereal, and 8-bit theater. Errant Story is a pretty good comic that no one has mentioned.

IMO, Freefall appears to be trending towards a serious storyline - the whole "Gardener in the Dark," self-destructive (and possibly sentient) robot angle. I haven't decided yet whether I like the change or not...there's still wacky hijinks, but the mix of camp and seriousness weakens both to some degree.

I recently found Errant Story and have been slowly making my way through the early episodes.

Just remembered another one: Between Failures.

I also read Better Days (for the art), Peter is the Wolf, Erfworld and Keychain of Creation. The first two probably won't interest many. Keychain is set in Exalted, pretty much like OotS including the art style.

You should probably put a "NSFW" warning on that.

The first page alone was enough to make me LOOOOL but the implication of the Cumsprite 'punchline' was even better.

I've tried to read Oglaf, but its depiction of sexuality is too alien for me to really "get". I'm sure someone who doesn't have my issues would enjoy it though.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

So is Sexy Losers, and its successor Thin H Line. Though if dirtiness should make one hesitate to link, I'll just let people find those themselves.
