Can anyone recommend some comic strips? The only ones I read anymore are Get Fuzzy, Pearls Before Swine, and sometimes Dilbert. What else is good? ---

If you’re at all D&D-style geeky, it doesn’t get any better than _The Order of the Stick_: [Cast List](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootscast.html) (good starting point) and [Strip #1](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html). The equally geeky, but in more of a computer gaming way, is _PvP_. Fricking hillarious. [New Reader Page](http://www.pvponline.com/about). _Sluggy Freelance_ is probably the best webcomic I’ve ever found, but it take some dedication. The storylines often meander off path for a few months before getting you to where they were going. Still, if you’ve got a few months to catch up, it’s definitely worth it.

What, no Penny Arcade? For a bit of British flavour, try [Scary Go Round](http://www.scarygoround.com/). In another site recently someone linked to [Dresden Codak](http://www.dresdencodak.com/), which i’m liking already. Philosophy, Quantum Mechanics, and a hot main character. What’s not to like? 😛 ---

I’m going to be a little biased and recommend two guys in the same webcomics collective as my own comic: [Rob & Elliot](http://www.robandelliot.cycomics.com/) and [Beaver & Steve](http://www.beaverandsteve.com/) They’re two of the funniest comics I’ve ever read, in print or on the web. ---

For a quirky, geeky, offbeat strip, I recommend [UserFriendly](http://www.userfriendly.org). ---

If you like roleplaying games/gamer geek culture at all, you’ll probably love [The Order of the Stick](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0382.html). (I pointed you at the latest, but it might be a good idea to back to #1 and work forward). I see somebody has already recommended Frazz, but I’ll second it. IMO the best syndicated strip around. ---

I’m going to go ahead and recommend [Sinfest](http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1). Be warned that the language is frequently not safe for work, and even if that isn’t a problem for you, be VERY sure to note that the URL ends in .net, not .com – you may find a distinct difference between the two sites. 🙂 ---
