What are some good webcomics you’ve encountered? ---

[Penny Arcade](http://www.penny-arcade.com). Consistenly fresh and funny, updated thrice weekly, and the writing of the newsposts is some of the best I’ve seen. Tycho is an extraordinarily gifted writer, in my (professional) opinion. [Homestarrunner.com](http://www.homestarrunner.com), especially the [Strong Bad Emails](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html). Animation rather than strictly static toons, but hilarious. ---

[Achewood](http://www.achewood.com/) is the best webcomic running. I can almost guarantee you won’t appreciate it until you’ve read it for a while, though. He rarely does single strips that stand on their own. [Scary Go Round](http://www.scarygoround.com/) is hardly ever laugh-out-loud hilarious, but the art’s great, it’s really imaginative, and just a lot of fun. ---

I just got into web comics and will be watching this for ideas, but here’s a few of my favorites: Something\*Positive - Sadistically funny and intelligent with moments of gut wrenching emotion. One of the best things I’ve ever read. Period. Queen of Wands - Alternately hysterically funny and deadly serious. First web comic I got serious on. Ctrl-Alt-Del - Gaming comic that is accessible to a mere amateur gamer like myself. There’s more but these are the ones I read religiously. Hope you enjoy. ---

[Neko the Kitty](http://nekothekitty.keenspace.com). Neko is my god. Jeff is his prophet. ---

[Wigu](http://www.wigu.com/), [8-Bit Theater](http://www.nuklearpower.com/), [10K Commotion](http://www.10kcommotion.com/) (it’s about DDR, but I love the art), [RPG World](http://www.rpgworldcomic.com/) and I’d just like to second Scary-Go-Round. ---

SGR, 8BT, and Wigu are all high-quality. Something Positive is my favorite strip, but it’s definitely not for everyone. I’ll second Sluggy as well. Be sure to check out [Diesel Sweeties](http://www.dieselsweeties.com), [Questionable Content](http://www.questionablecontent.net), and [Sam & Fuzzy](http://www.samandfuzzy.com). [Partially Clips](http://www.partiallyclips.com) and [White Ninja](http://www.whiteninjacomics.com) are not for everyone, but the people who like them like them a lot. ---

[http://www.dragon-tails.com/](http://www.dragon-tails.com/) [http://www.kevinandkell.com/](http://www.kevinandkell.com/) I’m no good at coding, but these two and Sluggy Freelance are the ones I like to keep tabs on. I used to read Bruno the Bandit and Elf Life, they were fun. ---

Someone else on SDMB turned me onto [You Damn Kid](http://www.youdamnkid.com/). He compared it to Family Circus, though, which is pretty insulting. No pointless dashed lines and kid guest-artists in this comic. ---

I’m required to plug [Dan Wheeler’s Happy Freaking Ray of Goddamn Sunshine](http://journals.aol.com/oosknuba/sunshine/), a sarcastic minimalist look at dating and apartment hunting. I can’t explain _why_ I’m required, since I’m trying to maintain my air of mystery. \ ---

[VG Cats](http://www.vgcats.com/) is a gamic comic that has very good art (although I have to admit that, not being a B5 fan, I didn’t much care for the latest strip). [This](http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=100) is probably a better example of a good strip. [Chopping Block](http://www.choppingblock.org/) also has a really nice, unique art style and is good for dark serial killer humor. ---

[Boy on a Stick and Slither](http://www.boasas.com) . It’s just bizarre. Updated every Monday and Friday. I second Wigu, especially any of the Topato and Sheriff Pony strips. ---
