Beat Writer  Posts: 194 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 | Hard to not like Penny-Arcade, they've been around for so long and watching the style evolve has been great fun. VGCats I think used to be better, over time it seems to have gone a bit downhill. The irregularity of updates can also be a bit of a pain, especially when you compare it to the consistency of Penny-Arcade. Gone with the Blast Wave I've also thought to be an interesting web comic. It's updates are extremely infrequent, you can read through the entire archive very fast, but it has great artwork for a web comic and can be rather funny. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 481 Joined: 6 Dec 2007  | I don't. I'd rather staple my own face closed than read a webcomic. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 414 Joined: 14 Jul 2006   | Penny arcade is the only one I read with any regularity. I just don't have the time really. |
Muckraker  Posts: 287 Joined: 15 Nov 2007 | I used to read half a dozen web comics, but many of them lost their funny over time. The survivors are Penny Arcade, and xkcd. I also occasionally check on VGcats, and Perry Bible Fellowship to see if anything new has been posted since they don't exactly update on a regular basis. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3370 Joined: 2 Dec 2007   | XKCD, Perry Bible Fellowship, Cyanide & Happiness and of course CAD. I sometimes wonder why I post simple things like this. It's not like it was really important or would be read by all. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 131 Joined: 7 Sep 2007 | Oh, boy, I haven't cleaned up my webcomics bookmarks in a while, so it's full of a little crap, but here goes: 8-bit Theatre (the defacto sprite comic) Those recently added ones are from Yathzee's list, which I disagree with on a lot of them, but there are still others on his little list that I haven't had a chance to read yet: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/features/goodcomics.htm |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 72 Joined: 7 Dec 2007 | Dresden Codak is by far my favorite right now although I also read Sinfest, The order of the Stick and occasionally Penny Arcade. |
Paperboy Posts: 37 Joined: 5 Dec 2007 | XKCD, Penny Arcade, and PBF are the only ones with any regularity. Almost every other webcomic sucks hard. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 2 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | I think I've read most of the comics already mentioned at one point or another, there are a few that are new to me. Edit - I nearly forgot another one, but I'm not sure if I can mention it as it contains mild nudity and adult themes. What are the local policies on such things? |
Beat Writer  Posts: 142 Joined: 8 Sep 2006   | This isn't really about what I read is it? It's about recs. Goats - Is the best thing on the web. Also impossible to get into because you have to read about two years of backstory. That was a hint, by the way. Get reading! |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 809 Joined: 22 Aug 2006 | Hoo boy... Let's see. Able & Baker A lot of the comics I read are almost out of habit at this point, even though some of them have ceased updating regularly, or being as funny as they once were. There was a point in college where I simply found a new comic every week, and spent countless hours reading their backlogs to get up-to-date. Great fun. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 164 Joined: 20 Nov 2007 | I haven't seen a webcomic that I was really impressed with for awhile now (The Perry Bible Fellowship is amazing, but it's practically moved beyond the realm of webcomic at this point). I kind of like The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (found it via banner ad on VGcats), even though it does have some things seriously wrong with it. It's way too wierd/random sometimes, but other times it has flashes of real brilliance. Example: http://www.drmcninja.com/mcdonalds/mcd14.jpg I recommend the earlier episodes; it's mostly gone downhill lately. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 51 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | Fireball20xl.com- psyguy is hilarious and i love his sonic bastardized video series BoxerHockey.com- a comic about a sport called boxer hockey were you play on a soccer field trying to get the ball(well actually it's a frog that is genetically enhanced so it can take a beating without dying) in the other team's goal. and you can use any sort of blunt object you want so you can beat the shit out of the other team. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 101 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | Concerned: A downright hilarious comic, its a shame that its over. VG Cats: Despite its irregular updates, I still find it funny. Post Nuke Comic: Has a pretty interesting story, the only problem is that it updates slowly. |
Paperboy Posts: 20 Joined: 31 Oct 2007 | Platinum Grit and Penny Arcade. I'm sure there are other great comics but I don't have any interest in looking. Also the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats for the art. |

xkcd.com. Read it, now. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1604 Joined: 13 Dec 2007   | I shall list them in some vague order of appreciation I guess. Yeah, I think that's it. |

Since Yahtzee has burned quite a few people in his reference to CAD this week, and some people are really annoyed by this, I'd like to ask the people of this site what webcomics, if any, you read so as to see what the general consensus is. Personally, I don't read CAD, but I don't see anything horribly wrong with it either. Here's what I do read:
*Penny Arcade, for a triweekly filling of people nerdier than me
*VGCats, because even though it has some bad execution, it has a good mindset and still manages to hit the bullseye once in a while
*8-Bit Theater, for sheer awesomeness
*Order of the Stick, also for sheer awesomeness
*Megatokyo, because I'm into that sort of thing
