Allright, looking at my list of webcomics… Not gonna post links necessarily, because I don’t think I fully understand some of the policies thereof… because hey, they contain adult language, right? Then again, folks already referenced Penny Arcade… Oh, well. I figure it’d be okay to link them, but you can find them in Google anyway. VG Cats - Videogame-themed. Gaming Guardians - RPG Themed. Diesel Sweeties 8-Bit Theater Megatokyo Sinfest Sluggy Freelance Elf Only Inn - If you’ve ever used IRC at all, you’ve met people like this. Penny Arcade PvP Van Von Hunter - Anime-themed. - My current regulars. I keep meaning to start RPG World, but never get around to it. ---

I read 8 bit theater and Penny Arcade. PA is good, but I’d reccomend 8 bit theater to anyone, esspecialy Douglas Adams fans. ---

[Schlock Mercenary](http://www.schlockmercenary.com/) is the best online strip I’ve ever seen. In the beginning, the artwork is a little sloppy, but the storyline is great, the characters compelling, and few things in life are better than Gravy Guns or Terapedos. ---

After seeing it recommended here, I’m a huge fan of [Ozy and Millie](http://www.ozyandmillie.org). I also read [Nodwick and Full Frontal Nerdity](http://www.gamespy.com/comics/nodwick/index.htm), but if you don’t play D&D or other roleplaying games, you probably won’t find those the least bit funny. ---

I’ll second the vote for Schlock Mercenary - definitely the best online comic out there. At a close second is [The Gods of Arr-Kelaan](http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Gods_of_ArrKelaan/). I read far far too many webcomics, but these two clearly stand out from the crowd. ---

I love Something Positive, but it helps that I’m married to a gamer and that I have Goth in-laws. PvP Online is pretty fun as well. ---

[Pibgorn](http://www.comics.com/comics/pibgorn/index.html). It may be in print, too, but I doubt it – the format wouldn’t work in newspapers today. ---

Oh, poot. I forgot Jerkcity. I also read This Modern World, Red Meat, and [The City](http://www.derfcity.com) ; but I’m not sure if those count because they get printed in newspapers, too. Then there’s [You Damn Kid](http://www.youdamnkid.com) ---

Most of my regular stops are already here. Ghastly and Sexy Losers never fail to give me a chuckle, as well as PvP. Not mentioned yet, [Angels 2200](http://www.angels2200.com/). Hooked me quick after the first couple I read. ---

I thoroughly recommend Zebra Girl, the best of the many comics I’ve read. GPF was really great up to the end of the major mid-2003 plot swing; after that, it just seemed to get sort of tired. And I second kitarak’s seconding of Schlock Mercenary. Both of these are on Keenspot, with a listing of a bunch of other free comics. Among those I recommend You Damn Kid and Men in Hats. A great one is [Absurd Notions](http://http://www.absurdnotions.org/), which I’ve just noticed is back online after a long hiatus. Woohoo! Lastly, [The Parking Lot Is Full](http://www.plif.com) is truly outstanding. Sometimes amusing, sometimes horrifying or disturbing. ---

_The Parking Lot is Full_ was great (while it lasted). My two favorites (none of the other are close) are _Schlock Mercenary_ and _Something Positive_. Other good ones are Adventurers, Goats, Errant Story, and UnderPower. I can’t believe no one has mentioned Bruno Baldwin. ---

Another vote for Sluggy Freelance, And one for the currently on hiatus “Angst Technology” I also read: User Friendly College Roommates From Hell ---

Other people have already mentioned all of my current favorites, except for [MacHall](http://www.machall.com/). Would [Homestar Runner](http://www.homestarrunner.com/) count? ---

Stuff by [David Rees](http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/home.html), including but not limited to the inimitable [Get Your War On](http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war.html). ---

Another webcomic junkie checking in. MY fave: [http://www.lowbright.com/](http://www.lowbright.com/) Not a webcomic in the conventional sense, but still amazing. Also, [http://www.verunne.net/](http://www.verunne.net/) DID have a webcomic section I believe, although it seems to be down for maintainance at the moment. I haven’t had time to read but admire the artwork greatly. Lastly, [http://www.psychoteers.com/](http://www.psychoteers.com/) anime style christian fundementalism! Portal of Evil describes it at a cross between Manga and Jack Chick. ---

I read a lot of webcomics, including many those people have mentioned, - Megatokyo, Schlock Mercenary, Real Life, GPF, ect. I currently have 74 webcomics bookmarked that I follow - thank God for Firefox’s “Open in tabs” feature. Some good ones that people haven’t mentioned. [College Roomies from Hell!](http://www.crfh.net/) - reminds me of my friends, but with Werecoyotes, Laser Vision, Cthulhu, and Satan. [Krakow](http://www.krakowstudios.com/) The tale of two college roomates, a succubus, and Neo-Nazis. [8-bit Theater](http://www.nuklearpower.com/latest.php) The only sprite comic that I read; great parody of Final Fantasy and D&D. [Blue Zombie](http://entity.keenspace.com/) Has the cutest zombies you will ever see. [A Miraclel of Science](http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/index.html) Really good Sci-fi type comic. [Narbonic](http://www.moderntales.com/series.php?name=narbonic&view=current) The day to day life of Dave Davenport the hapless computer engineer, his evil but attractive mad scientist boss Helen B. Narbon, and the evil(but also attractive) intern/law student Mell. And a talking gerbil. ---

[Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles](http://www.neilswaab.com/comics/index.html). Often strange, sometimes comments on major social topics (as he does in this week’s). Sometimes he can be a bit overly disturbing for no reason. Never boring.
