In addition to the daily dose of [LICD](http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20130622/) I mentioned above, I also regularly check in with [Dork Tower](http://www.dorktower.com/) and [Full Frontal Nerdity](http://ffn.nodwick.com/), which haven’t been mentioned yet. ---

Probably either Girl Genius or Schlock Mercenary. I’m hard-pressed to choose between those two. Order of the Stick is close, but it loses points for the sporadic update schedule. ---

It’s a tossup between _Schlock Mercenary_ and _Sinfest_. I read a lot of webcomics regularly (I have at least 40 in my RSS feed) but those are my top two, with _xkcd_, _QuesCon_, _Erf_ and _OotS_ not too far behind. ---

Menage a 3. You probably should start [at the beginning](http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/room_for_two_more_%28vol1%29) though. It’s a long running funny sexual soap opera; I love the characters in it. Wonderella is also a great one. ---

Well, most of my favorites are already on people’s lists, so here’s a few that aren’t. [Museum of Mistakes](http://www.juliawertz.com/2012/05/09/a-thing-i-did-in-high-school/)(formerly: Fart Party), about a girl’s life and stuff. Funny, often touching, and very fun to read. [Hyperbole and a Half](http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/)Ok, it’s more of a blog than a comic, but her drawings are awesome fun. [Subconscious Comics](http://www.timeagan.com/?subconscious_comics)Truly bizarre comic; the main character is his own subconscious… other characters are parts of his brain, or occasionally body. I stumbled across a paperback of this stuff once ages ago and nobody I asked ever had any idea what I was talking about when I looked for it again. Good stuff. [The Atheist Pig](http://www.theatheistpig.com/)Really, you need to ask what it’s about? [Maximumble](http://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/)Stickfigure humor. +1 “I love that comic too” point for each of the following Sinfest Menage a 3 OotS Freefall \<-Surprisingly deep Wonderella Looking for Group \<-[Spider-Dick, Spider-Dick!](http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/677/) Bug (Martini) Two Guys and Guy and I think reading XKCD is in the Straight Dope Message Board user agreement somewhere isn’t it? ---

I tried reading _Between Failures_ for a while but it’s fucking glacial, and I say that as a _Questionable Content_ reader. Other than that I read _xkcd_, _Wonderella_, and lately _Leftover Soup_. Read _Unshelved_ and _OOTS_ for a while, but skipped two strips and got totally lost. I used to drop in on _Sinfest_ every so often but stopped when it got self-righteous. It’s particularly annoying because I don’t think feminists are inherently humorless ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > I love Dick. We all know that. LICD, QC, GWS, I’ve been reading Misfile for years now but it is sure taking its time about going anywhere, OOTS, xkcd are the ones I have bookmarked. Oglaf isn’t bookmarked, but I catch every episode although since the Apprentice got sidelined it’s not been anything like as good, with the stellar exception of Grier and Navaan teaming up on the Fungod. ---

Nowadays, I only really manage to follow Something Positive and Questionable Content, as they come up in my livejournal feed. Pre-daughter, I regularly followed Digger, Gunnerkrigg Court, Punch an’ Pie (follow up to Queen of Wands) and Olaf. ---

Order of the Stick is the one I most look forward to seeing the installment. I used to be just as keen on seeing the next installment of Weapon Brown (NSFW), but it’s in reruns right now. Others I follow are Penny Arcade, PvP, Full Frontal Nerdity, Oglaf (NSFW), Menage a 3 (NSFW), Erfworld, Darths & Droids and Diesel Sweeties. Some of those are just out of inertia, though. ---

Questionable Content tops my list. It is often funny and I like the characters. I check in on Out There which just changed format and I do not know if I will continue with it. I like Menage a 3, but it only updates about 3 times a week. Once you have read thru the extensive backlog of material, that is a bit disappointing. I am finally done with Sinfest (Preachfest). I get it - men are awful with no redeeming qualities. But at least be funny. All the comics I follow have been recommendations from this forum. ---

> [@Mikemike2](#): > > Questionable Content tops my list. It is often funny and I like the characters. QC is my favorite daily or 3-a-week serial. OotS would beat it except its updates are so sporadic. I’m surprised at the amount of GWS love. I used to read it before one day realizing that I hated essentially all the characters. ---

Aw yeah, Gunnerkrigg Court (and **Cinnamon Imp** mentioned Digger, which is a fantastic, finished(!), comic). ([This is just about my favorite page of Digger](http://diggercomic.com/?p=491)) Glad to see so many people reading Bug Martini. Some others that haven’t been mentioned: [Unsounded](http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/) It’s loosely about a girl from a crime family and her guardian zombie. Loosely. The first chapter is _not_ indicative of the rest of the comic; warning: it’s a not-nice story written about not-nice people and quite a lot of bad things happen to kids. Think of something like A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. Decent writing and good art, but not always pleasant to read. [False Positive](http://falsepositivecomic.com/) The only anthology style webcomic I know about and it has short stories in horror/fantasy/sci-fi genres. It reminds me a lot of The Twilight Zone/MOTW X-Files. [No Rest for the Wicked](http://www.forthewicked.net/) A story with a large blending of fairy tales. Another one with glacial updates, but it’s still, AFAIK, active. [The Abominable Charles Christopher](http://www.abominable.cc/) Tiny tales of forest creatures (and a sasquatch). The art is lovely; the humor [reminds me of Digger](http://abominable.cc/post/44166333225/the-idiot). [Nimona](http://gingerhaze.com/nimona) _I’M A SHARK!_ Ahem. A silly comic about a supervillain and his shapeshifting sidekick. There’s nothing about this comic I don’t like. [Paranatural](http://paranatural.net/) In the author’s words, “Paranatural is best described as ‘X-Men meets Ghostbusters except everyone’s twelve.’ It’s a comedy/action comic about a group of middle school kids with ghostly superpowers fighting evil spirits and investigating paranormal activity in their hometown.” Unusually good/fun dialog. [This page still makes me laugh.](http://paranatural.net/chapter-3-page-16/) The author does a stream with a couple other webcomic artists whose stuff y’all should see: [VIBE](http://vibecomic.com/) and [Demon Kings](http://demonkings.com/). The guy who does Demon Kings is amazing to watch. Ok, I think that’s it, hopefully when I finally post this thing there won’t be repeats. =) ---

When I called _Between Failures_ “glacial” I meant the pace, not the update schedule. It updates regularly, but each update takes longer to load in my browser than the amount of in-strip time it covers. ---
