Favorite Webcomics
I enjoy webcomics, and out of idle curiosity I'd like to know who enjoys what.

The very best is XKCD. A few of my favorites to meet the 50 character limit: Wish I could imbed images, but alas... Side: XKCD
My favorite is Questionable Content! Side: Questionable Content
O, hell naw. this is the argument for me. I'm in love with webcomics. I would DIE for webcomics. Not really, but still. I've read quite a few, and it's hard to say which is best. First, I'll add a few more to the discussion: Cyanide and happiness (explosm.net): what QC is to indie culture and xkcd is to nerdiness, C&H;is to violence, AIDS and cancer jokes, and rollicking black humor. Stick figures drawn by four guys regularly lose limbs, have their dreams crushed, or are the subject of bad puns. It's not all that dark, often it's just really random, but the comic is best read if you can recognize there is a certain humor in things like medical malpractice. Order of the stick (giantitp.com): The premier RPG webcomic, and that's certainly saying something. Specifically, it's based around D&D;. Now, I don't play, but I still love the hell out of this comic. Now, why's that? Because it has a complex plotline, interesting and developed characters, and great art (jk, it's stick figures again, hence the name. But in case you haven't realized, stick figures are capable of being awesometastic). The guy doesn't update frequently enough for my tastes, but there's a huge archive and most of the comics are pretty long (which kinda explains why it takes so long to update, only once a week), so you should probably give this a shot. I just finished Overcompensating (overcompensating.com) by Jeffrey Rowland, who also does Wigu, which I'm just starting, so I thought I'd give that man a shoutout. OC is a journal comic, but it's the journal of a clearly insane man on a lot of drugs (naw, he just makes most of the junk up). It's inane and silly and awesome. I would recommend all of Jeffrey Rowland's work (check out jjrowland.com) based on what I've seen so far, as well as his status in the industry (he runs topatoco [topatoco.com], the world's largest webcomic merchandise company, which incorporates all QC and xkcd products [indeed, many OC comics feature Jeph Jacques and Randall Munroe, the respective writers of the comics]). But, on the whole, I'm gonna have to go with Spoonerism. Xkcd was my first and favorite webcomic, and I'm holding true to it. It blends romance, sarcasm, math, and language brilliantly like no other to create the very best on teh intrawebz. By the way, to whoever made this thread: thank you. It made my day to see I am not alone in my illicit love affair with the lulz. Side: XKCD

XKCD is the greatest webcomic on the internet. http://xkcd.com/277/ - Long Light http://xkcd.com/518/ - Flow Charts http://xkcd.com/66/ - Abusive Astronomy. Side: XKCD
XKCD and Penny Arcade are the only two I check regularly. Penny Arcade is pretty hit and miss, but they can be awesome sometimes. Automata

Here are the webcomics that I have bookmarked: -Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal -XKCD And of these my favorite is probably SMBC because it is hilarious. Side: SMBC
By far, I always laugh at Cyanide and Happiness on explosm.net It always impresses me. I also really like xkcd. I don't understand some of the jokes, specifically the ones about computers and programming. But the others are hilarious! They're both bookmarked and I check them every time there's a new comic (XKCD on Mon, Wed, Fri. C&H;on almost everyday, but they take a break once in a while). Side: SMBC
