[8-Bit Theater](http://www.nuklearpower.com): RPG/tabletop humor served up nice and dry. I think the characters are strong and well-written enough that you don’t have to be intimate with geekdom to laugh. Check out the “advice” column by Evil Princess Sara (“Call your mother if you want the milk of human kindness, because all you’re getting from me is the black bile of scorn and derision.”)

Like relationship comics? How about the furry [Suburban Jungle](http://www.suburbanjungle.com)? It’s written with a lot of warmth and has lots of fun characters like Dover, the poor cheetah guy in IT who can only talk in code, and Drezzer, a gay wolf photographer with boatloads of personality and compassion.

When I saw the [Blaxploitation Funk Bible strip](http://sinfest.net/d/20000121.html), I knew I’d like this one…

Similar to 8-bit theatre is [Bob and George](http://www.bobandgeorge.com) is a gaming themed comic using megaman sprites to parody the actual megaman games. It’s been running for 3 years long, and started a long line of crappy sprite comics that usually have a punchline relating to how crappy the comic is, or something like that(“Wow! My characther has no personality! lol I suck at comics!”). So, most sprite based comics are not good at all, when compared to B and G.

Plus, (when the owner of B and G gets it back up again) their is 4 or 5 quality “subcomics” that are related somewhat to the normal B and G universe, and they are also of good quality. They were choosen out of fancomics for them being extrodinariliy good when compared to the bad quality of most of the fancomics.

Ha! _You_ expect _me_ to be able to go through the entire archive of approximately every quality webcomic ever posted on the internet, at least enough to form an opinion about them in _one day?_

Okay, so I skipped class _all effing day yesterday_ to read webcomics. Thanks, people. 🙂

So far, I’ve only been able to really get deep into the archives of a couple of them. I’m digging _Something Positivie_, and _Real Life Comics_. I’ve bookmarked about ten others. There are a few I rejected out of hand because I hated the style of art–_Help Desk,_ for example, I really _want_ to like, I think it’s funny, but I just can’t get past how much I dislike the cartooning. Also, a few I’ve seen before that I just can’t stick with: _Sinfest, Sluggy,_ and _Diesel Sweeties_. All of which I really wish I liked, heh. Especially _Sinfest_. Maybe I’ll give 'em another shot, after I’m done going through all these.

I briefly considered skipping class entirely today, too. Effing college education, getting in the way of comic strips. _grumble_

I’m still working on it! [Mike Myers as Linda Richman]Talk amongst y’selves[/MM as LR]

I second **SpazCat** ’s suggestion. **Something Positive** rules.

Bill Holbrook’s [Kevin & Kell](http://www.kevinandkell.com/) is one of my bookmarks. Go there and you’ll find links to more webcomics.

[When I am King](http://www.demian5.com)

Single best webcomic I’ve seen - but not a traditional daily-strip approach. And it’s all done with a mouse.

Sadly ended, but still worth reading is [The Japanese Beetle](http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/beetle/).

Another defunct one is [The Parking Lot is Full](http://www.plif.com/). Mostly unconnected strips, and there are a number which are poor, but a whole bunch that are great, if kinda dark.
