I’d stumbled across that a time or two in the past, but never really had the leisure to get really into it… Now I did, and holy hell it’s just ridiculously awesome! I just read the part where he

surfs to Earth from Dracula’s secret moonbase on the latter’s robot double.

I’d like to third [Sluggy Freelance](http://www.sluggyfreelance.com) and add:

[Subnormality](http://www.viruscomix.com/subnormality.html): There’s a displaced Sphinx who eats people!

[Erfworld](http://http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0118.html): It has a lot to do with RPGs, but I’m not at all a gamer and I can still follow the story.

[El Goonish Shive](http://egscomics.com/): I’m still working my way through back issues of this one. Fair warning: it’s very fetishy, what with all the furries and the male-female transformation rays all over the place.

[Unicorn Jelly, Pastel Defender Heliotrope, and To Save Her](http://pasteldefender.com): Opinion varies a lot on these. They’re all part of the same multiverse, but they can each stand alone, and unlike so many webcomics, they each have “a definitive beginning, middle and end”. _To Save Her_ is still in progress. Also, don’t let the pretty colors and cutesy characters fool you; the actual content of J. Deitz’s work is fairly dark.

[Sacred Pie!](http://www.sacredpie.com/main.html) I love the art style on this comic. The updates are pretty slow (once weekly). There’s also some crude flash animation in Book 1. The overall plot is getting a bit confused, but Book 2’s stint on the prison world remains my favorite part of this comic.

I’ll post my favorites now that I can post again.

[VG Cats](http://www.vgcats.com) is a fun comic that updates very infrequently.

Better than that is the offshoot [Super Effective!](http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=0) Which follows along the basic story of Pokemon Red.

Also I can’t help but take this time and toot my own horn and show a few of mine.

[Soylent Greens](http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1944/soylentgreeniesak4.jpg)

[Why Men Go Shopping Alone](http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/4903/shoppingkn4.jpg)

[So Close](http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/5125/yogurtiz2.jpg)
