[QUOTE=Pollux Oil] PVP - no mention yet! woo! [/QUOTE] Only because I forgot about it. šŸ™‚ Also forgot about [The City](http://www.derfcity.com/) (one of the best online strips for political, and other, stuff) and [City of Zeroes](http://www.cityofzeroes.net/) (a peek into the life of City of Heroesā€™ pedestrians). ---

[QUOTE=Miller] [Gunnerkrigg Court](http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php): A young girl is enrolled at a mysterious school inhabited by ghosts, robots, minotaurs, dragons, mad scientists, and talking dogs. Plus some stuff thatā€™s _really_ wierd. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Chronos] [Darths and Droids](http://www.darthsanddroids.net/): The premise is that the Star Wars movies were the result of a RPG campaign (similar to DM of the Rings, but less dysfunctional). Both Star Wars jokes and RPG jokes, and they actually manage to make Jar-Jar likable. [/QUOTE] Thank you both for these two. I enjoyed them. Jim ---

[QUOTE=Snarky\_Kong] [Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal](http://www.smbc-comics.com/#comic) Itā€™s a single panel strip, crude art and crude humor. [/QUOTE] Sweet! Itā€™s got the snark of xkcd without the overdoing of the nerd appeal, as well as the often highbrow sense of Partially Clips, and the whimsy of PBF. ---

[QUOTE=Mister Rik] Oh yeah - Iā€™ve been reading Minus for quite a while now. Itā€™s brilliant! Except I think sheā€™s actually supposed to have nearly unlimited magical powers (seeing as how the things she does continue to affect other people even when sheā€™s not around). [/QUOTE] +1 for Minus. I love that strip when it updates. Herdthinners, Questionable Content, Wapsi Square, Ctrl Alt Del, Bunny, Two Lumps on occasion (although Iā€™ve developed a dislike for that ever since I found out that the artist (as opposed to the writer who is his lovely wife) has an irrational hatred of things such as nanowrimo on grounds that they ruin things for Serious Writers, Suh, like him :dubious: ), xkcd, occasional Sinfest. [SPQR Blues.](http://spqrblues.com/) Itā€™s a Roman soap opera. Although Iā€™ve found that I usually have to do some thinking on it to connect one dayā€™s strip to the next ā€“ a lot of stuff happens offscreen ā€“ I still enjoy the art and the historical research. ---

Achewood is simply the best webcomic ever. Itā€™s a bit tricky to get into, but hereā€™s a good start: [The Ray Smuckles Decision-Making Flowchart](http://achewood.com/index.php?date=03012007) [Ray gets sort of stoned](http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuabz9GRp) [The brave little Dutch boy / Lie Bot](http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua8VqM0H) [Roast Beef buries his shirt](http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02182004) ---

[Looking for Group](http://www.lfgcomic.com) if you play World of Warcraft (or even if you donā€™tā€“Richard is funny even if youā€™ve never played a MMORPG). [Two Lumps](http://www.twolumps.net) if you like cats. ---

Another shout for the good Dr. McNinja. Thereā€™s a funny [D&D one](http://www.dungeond.com/d/20060402.html) I found recently. And [this one](http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010509.html) is about tentacle monsters and the girls who love them (note, linked strip is SFW, but click past that and it quickly becomes NSFW). And another voice wondering wtf happened to Perry Bible Fellowship. ---

The now defunct [Spamusement!](http://spamusement.com/) did single panel comics inspired by spam subject lines heā€™d get in his in-box. Best to start from the first one and work your way up. ---

[QUOTE=GameHat] Achewood is simply the best webcomic ever. [/QUOTE] You may enjoy MC Frontalotā€™s Achewood-inspired song, [Livinā€™ At The Corner Of Dude & Catastrophe](http://frontalot.com/index.php/?page=lyrics&lyricid=40) Thereā€™s a teaser MP3 of the CD-version of the song at the bottom of that lyrics page, but if you go to [this page](http://frontalot.com/index.php/?page=mp3) and scroll down to where it says ā€œSongFight Contendersā€, youā€™ll find the original demo version of the whole song. (Lyrics by MC Frontalot, music performed by Brad Sucks) On another webcomic front, does anybody know what the hell is going on with [Chugworth Academy](http://chugworth.com/)? Some time back there was some sort of server problem that caused the strip to disappear from the Internet for 6+ months. When it finally came back online it quickly became apparent that the author hadnā€™t drawn a single new strip in the entire time the site was down (you know, take the opportunity to build a backlog/buffer). Since itā€™s been back up, I swear that updates have come at the rate of about one strip per month. Iā€™m bummed, because this was one of my favorite webcomics. ---
