How about [Faux Pas](http://www.ozfoxes.com/fauxpas.htm)? Its main characters are foxes, but it has a lot of cats in it, too, and various other animals. It’s family-friendly, funny, and there’s over 2100 strips right now, most of them in a three-panel form. It has a strong continuity. I’m glad you’ve gotten into _The Order of the Stick._ I second the recommendation of _Gunnerkrigg Court_. I, personally, like [Questionable Content](https://questionablecontent.net/) but I wouldn’t rate it as being appropriate for younger readers. I’d rate it at PG-13. In addition, it takes awhile to find its legs; the first few hundred strips concentrate pretty heavily on indie music. If that’s not your genre, you probably won’t understand some of the punch lines. And by the time it gets good, there’s a lot of premarital sex and heavy swearing. Anyway, _I_ like it, but I wouldn’t read it to a 7-year-old, for example. ---

For one that’s light on science, but with a good amount of whimsy and wierdness, and plenty of cats (well, jut one, really): [The Adventures of Business Cat](http://www.businesscat.happyjar.com/) ---

A wrapped up set of stories [Buck Godot](http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070111) is usually good for a reread every couple of years. You may want to preread it. I don’t remember too much that would be young teen inappropriate but I’m a 40+ year old guy who hasn’t reread it recently. One of the McGuffins in a later arc is based on the authors childs toy so I suspect it is fairly family friendly. Cheers, -DF ---

> [@Aspidistra](#): > > Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I showed the boy a few of the options tonight, and he’s chosen Order of the Stick (I can’t believe I couldn’t think of that on my own! when there’s an ongoing thread here about it and everything!) for the first offering, with Breaking Cat News queued up after it (and this thread bookmarked for later reference…) Whoa. By the time you finish with OOTS, Breaking Cat News will probably have merch. Oh, well. Have a blast, you two! 🙂 ---

There’s an entire arc dedicated to Buck investigating Why a bordello’s traffic has suddenly dropped precipitously. But maybe if you pre-read, you’ll know which arcs to skip. ---

I recently became a fan of Scenes From a Multiverse. Maybe not for the kid, but the parental unit deserves some “me” time, too, wot? ---

A Miracle of Science is a good, finished webcomic set in a world where Mad Science is a genuine mental disorder and Mars is a friendly group-mind. The first chapter is black-and-white but the rest is in color. [https://project-apollo.net/mos/mos000.html](https://project-apollo.net/mos/mos000.html) ---

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > I kinda like [Gunnerkrigg Court](https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1). Science fiction meets urban fantasy meets Harry Potterish academy meets other stuff. Central character is a teen( maybe starts as tween )girl just so you know. Artwork improves over the years. Thank you for this recommendation! I love it. One of my favorites is [Blindsprings](http://www.blindsprings.com/) which is about a magical princess in a strange world. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but it’s still worth reading the archives. I also enjoy [Goblins](https://goblinscomic.com/). It had a long hiatus, but it updates regularly now, if infrequently. ---

Goblins does have some installments about torture, and its ugly psychological after-effects. Decide for yourself whether your kid can handle that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-me-some-webcomics/819567.md?page=1)
