In this month-long break between finals and summer session, I want to get hooked on some more webcomics. The ones I read now are fantastic, but I need more. More! Here’s what I read so far: [ul] [li] **Sluggy Freelance** [www.sluggy.com](http://www.sluggy.com) - #1 fave. Wish I could justify buying a stuffed Bunbun.[/li][li] **Goats** [www.goats.com](http://www.goats.com) - Took a few months before I got into it, but now I really dig.[/li][li] **8-Bit Theater** [www.nuklearpower.com/comic](http://www.nuklearpower.com/comic) - Love it, and I never even played old-school final fantasy. Lately it’s been a bit slow, though.[/li][li] **Parking Lot Is Full** [www.plif.com](http://www.plif.com) - Sadly, this one just ended it’s run. It’s, as my friend described it, a “nihlistic train wreck!”[/li][/ul] So, any other recommendations? ---

Curses! I even previewed! Of course I know the difference between its and it’s. Drat. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UWmite \* > \*\*Curses! I even previewed! Of course I know the difference between its and it’s. Drat. \*\* So what is wrong with how you used “It’s”? It’s = It is It is . . . a . . . wreck. There is nothing wrong with that. Stylistically, your sentence is not a thing of beauty, but it’s not grammatically incorrect. ---

**UWmite** , I must have read the OP three times, and I still didn’t see the other “it’s.” Sorry about that. **smiling bandit** , I second your nomination of “Kevin & Kell.” ---

Sluggy and Penny-Arcade. And yes, I did justify buying a stuffed Bun-bun. It arrived in a short three weeks, too. I used to read Lethal Doses, as the artist was a close friend of mine, until apparently his ego grew a little too large and he alienated pretty much our entire social circle. I haven’t checked it in two and a half years, easy. ---

I absolutely adore PvP: [www.pvponline.com](http://www.pvponline.com). The best webcomic dedicated to us RPG/computer/role-playing dorks. Oh yeah, and Angst Technology: [Red Hat Ceph Storage](http://www.inktank.com/AT/index.cfm). Gotta love the IT Ninjas. 🙂 ---

I read [www.gpf-comics.com](http://www.gpf-comics.com) daily. It’s been a little down lately–actually some of the recent stuff has been _very_ depressing–but I think it’s about to pick up again. ---

I like many of the above, and also [**Real Life**](http://www.reallifecomics.com). ---

I’ll third the **Kevin and Kell** nomination. It was the first webcomic I ever got hooked on (the first anniversary gag with the flowers did it), and while there have been others that are more outrageous and zany, **K&K** still has the most heart. ---

At some juncture I have been addicted to the following web comics: > **[Red Meat](https://www.redmeat.com)** > > The most tasteless and twisted comic strip in the world. From the secret files of Max Cannon. [www.userfriendly.org](http://www.userfriendly.org) > **[Penny Arcade](https://www.penny-arcade.com)** > > Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary. [www.nuklearpower.com/comic](http://www.nuklearpower.com/comic) I am taking a liking to Sluggy now though. No stuffed Bun Bun yet. ---

So many comics, so little time: [Sluggy](http://www.sluggy.com). Of course. [When I Am King](http://www.demian5.com/). A comic story about unrequited love w/ a beginning, middle and, sadly, end. Cool use of flash animation. [Ozzy and Millie](http://www.ozyandmillie.org/). Smart and topical. Think Disney crossbred w/ the Simpsons. [Too Much Coffee Man!](http://www.tmcm.com/). Jittery existential angst at its finest. [Exploitation Now!](http://www.exploitationnow.com/). Was all about cheap thrills. Has developed some surprisingly complex storylines recently. [Bob the Angry Flower](http://www.angryflower.com/qwik.html). Ummm, you have to see it for yourself. Bob’s _really_ angry. And, the legendary [SpaceMoose](http://www.spacemoose.com/).
