This makes me wish that 8-Bit Theater was still being updated. Good times...

But Oglaf is hysterical, and I'm glad to see it get a mention.

 

[Covarr]

No, I should not be reading VG Cats. I stopped reading that one for a reason.

P.S. Thanks

 

[NPC009]

Add Manly Guys Doing Manly Things [http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/02222010] and Mokepon [http://mokepon.smackjeeves.com/comics/458480/prologue/] to that list is pretty close to my weekly webcomic reading routine.

The amount of Sarah's Scribbles is too damn low!

(props though for having SMBC)

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Hey, I read all of those except Oglaf.

I ... didn't expect that. Was hoping to discover more than one new webcomic to read.

 

[Maze1125]

P.S. Thanks

Exactly what I thought.
Used to be good... Not so much now...

 

[RealRT]

Speaking of webcomics, allow me to recommend you Supernormal Step [http://www.supernormalstep.com].
You are welcome.

 

[JCAll]

No, I should not be reading VG Cats. I stopped reading that one for a reason.

P.S. Thanks

Because it only updates 4 times a year?

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

Also worth mentioning are: Lackadaisy.
I could mention 50 others but those are some of the best. You already mentioned Oglaf and SMBC. ,)

The place of Honor goes to:
Dark Legacy Comics

and

Hmm, can't get this image to work..Is it just me or maybe the URL is too long?
Here is the pure link: www.thegamercat.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2011-12-28-1112gamercatcomic_fairyfountain.jpg
Doesn't seem to work either..Site might not allow hot-linking?

Are you reading Atomic Robo? Same creator! Same brand of dumb humor! SAME GREAT TASTE, NEW ACTION SCIENCE PACKAGING!

 

[Saulkar]

Heh, I read just about all of those. In fact, I have about 4 dozen tabs open on one of my Opera browser windows. All of them webcomics! Right now Wildelife, Daughter of the Lilies, Atomic Robo, Darkwhite, Whitenoise, Meek, The Last Halloween, and Dragon Dove are the ones I am most enjoying right now. I really fricken wish Poppy'O'Possum, Accursed Dragon, Banished, and Lion in the East would update more.

I heard someone is creating a post Undertale Webcomic about Asriel but I have yet to find it.

Preach bruther!!!

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Let me toss Grrl Power [http://grrlpowercomic.com/] into the ring. Its an interesting story, decent artwork and quite hilarious. It borders on the NSFW line, and can be construed as not very PC, but its a well done overall strip. Worth a full read.

 

[Worgen]

This needs Girl Genius [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104#.VqMLkiorKUk]

and Digger [http://diggercomic.com/blog/2010/08/12/digger-701/]. (which is actually finished)

 

[Zykon TheLich_v1legacy]

You didn't include Order of the Stick. My undead minions will hunt you to the ends of the multiverse.

 

[DoPo]

I literally found a new webcomic I liked this week: UndeadEd [http://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/undeaded/list?title_no=468]. It's about a guy called Ed, who is undead. It's story based and I found it quite funny.

Spoiler: the first strip

Basically Ed is suddenly dead but walks around like a zombie walking corpse. The comic follows him as he tries to find out what happens and stumbles upon heaps of other strange things. What makes the comic for me is how OK is Ed with all of this - being undead seems like a minor inconvenience for him and unearthing other occult phenomena doesn't really phase him at all.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

I've got a couple more to throw on the pile.

Spoiler: Kill Six Billion Demons

Seriously, if you love weird, out-there, mythic fantasy and you haven't read KSBD, rectify this immediately. Seriously. Check it out. [killsixbilliondemons.com]

and

Spoiler: Bird Boy

While it's a bit of slow burn, it's definitely worth a look, if only for the fantastic art style and designs. Have a look. [http://bird-boy.com/comic/2010-09-6-promo-page/]

 

[Cryselle]

I'd also list Schlock Mercenary as a great comic for people into serial sci-fi.

 

[Mikeybb]

That's why I like these webcomic list articles.

If the main thing doesn't have something new for you, you'll get a pile of hearty recommendations in the comments that follow.

To keep the tradition going I'll give a mention to Unsounded.
The artist isn't the most prolific updater, but her work is beautiful and the amount of worldbuilding that's gone into the story of a precocious thief and her guardian is truely impressive.
