    Let's see, I read quite a few.

    Awkward Zombie: Some fun Smash Bros. themed comics, not too frequently updated but hey, who cares. Good for a laugh.

    Three Panel Soul: The new project of the Mac Hall guys. A bit odd at times, but can be entertaining.

    CAD: This one gets a lot of flack, but while it's certainly not my favorite it's not BAD. It gives me some degree of entertainment four times a week, so it's doing it's job.

    Darths and Droids: Inspired by DM of the Rings, which I picked up on as it neared completion. I loved DM of the Rings, and this series, while approaching it a bit differently as far as the characterization, is quite well done.

    Dominic Deegan: I used to like this one a lot more, but the recent storylines have been fairly meh. Still, it updates every day, so it's nice to keep up on. Art's fairly basic, but he does his own art and writing, which is something I can respect.

    GPF: I'm not quite sure what I can say about this one, it's really weird with a lot of complicated plotlines and generally sci-fi mixed with modern mixed with fantasy. I read it over the course of a few nights and just kept reading it since at the time it was also an every day of the week update. Much slower now, but I keep reading it.

    Order of the Stick/Erfworld: Order of the Stick is hands-down my absolute favorite webcomic out there right now. Side-splitting geek humor, a really interesting plot, and a great sense of comedic timing all make this a fantastic comic. Erfworld moves a bit slower, but is generally pretty interesting, I like the world they constructed for it.

    Goblins - Life Through Their Eyes: Got off to a slower start, but with the advent of more plot it's gotten pretty good. I seem to be a sucker for all the good D&D comics, so there ya go.

    Aoi House: My sister linked me to this one, and while it's fairly meh and it's right-to-left pretension annoys the ever-loving crap out of me, it can be reasonably decent and the premise is entertaining.

    Gunnerkrigg Court: My girlfriend just linked me to this a few days ago, I devoured the archives. It's a good series, I like the use of lore and the setting is intriguing.

    Least I Could Do (not linking for some less-than-kosher content): Generally pretty amusing, and updates every day but Sunday which is another point in it's favor. I'm really liking the current arc.

    Looking for Group: By the guy who does Least I Could Do, it's a fun fantasy comic that's a lot more serious than it's beginnings would have made one suspect.

    Megatoyko: It's pretty, and I don't mind the pretty shoujou-tastic plot. If only it moved faster.

    Misfile: Updates every weekday which is nice, and does a good job portraying the identity crisis of having a gender change like that.

    Penny Arcade: I was never really big on this one (though I did read through all the archives) until more recently, reading them one at a time gives you a chance to really appreciate the quality of some of the strips. While it can be hit-or-miss with me, I also really appreciate what these guys are to the gaming industry, so it's one I make a point of keeping up with.

    And PAX is awesome.

    Questionable Content: Great character-driven webcomic with frequent updates and excellent art. There's just a dash of fantasy to allow for more outrageous arcs, but in general is a slice-of-life story that I rather enjoy. I do tend to get lost in the Indy Music Babble though.

    The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: SO. AWESOME.

    VG<i></i>cats: No link due to 'Kishi's prejudice. They've been more miss than hit lately and the update schedule's really bad, but when they have a hit, it tends to be pretty funny.

    xkcd: Sometimes he goes spinning off into emo, and sometimes he's got way more science than I can comprehend, but a lot of the time the comic is just genuinely funny.

    The VGCats guy has been working on a webcomic version of Pokemon Red/Blue recently. It's actually pretty good.

    xD This is great. I'll put it on my list.

    I keep up with Penny Arcade, Questionable Content, Real Life Comics, White Ninja Comics, The Perry Bible Fellowship, xkcd, and Least I Could Do.

    On a less frequent basis, I read the following: Ctrl+Alt+Del, The Creatures in My Head, The Adventures of Doctor McNinja, Dinosaur Comics, Dresden Codak, and Bear & Kitten.

    On an even less frequent (read: almost never) basis, the following are visited: PvP-Online, Looking For Group, Sinfest, Lucid TV, Three Panel Soul, AppleGeeks, and Bunny.

    I read (looked at?) some of them but found them lacking in comparison to how much they'd been hyped to me.

    If I wasn't whoring out my Brawl tournament, my sig would still be an image from a Married to the Sea.

    The only ones I read with a lot of regularity are:
    Penny-Arcade
    Married to the Sea
    Toothpaste for Dinner
    Natalie Dee
    Super Mega

    I also from time to time read back catalogues of Perry Bible Fellowship and xkcd, but for some reason don't have them bookmarked. Love 'em, though.

    I really need to read Order of the Stick. For some reason I just haven't started on it beyond one night when one of the guys at school literally sat me down at his computer and made me read them until we started our weekly D&D session.

    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I just came across this, 'Castle Vidcons'.

    Some of the jokes are pretty hardcore 'current events in videogameland' spoofs and some go over even my head, but the ones I do get are pretty damn funny. They're all 'drawn' on parchment and use olde english language, yet all the 'characters' are representative of today's video game consoles (hence, 'Vidcons'). It's pretty damn funny...if you get it.

    Sample

    Some of them are animated, so if it looks like nothing is happening, just wait for about 5 seconds.

    The penultimate installment of The Last Days of Foxhound was posted this week. As a long-time follower of the series, it was pretty poignant - even moreso than I expected. One more issue to go... it's going to be sad to see the end of that series.

    Since I made this thread I ended up subscribing to a buttload of comics, so let me go through my RSS reader here and pick my favourites....

    8-Bit Theater - Still my home page, still my favourite. :P

    Married to the Sea - Hit or miss, but the hits are gold.

    Natalie Dee - Great for a daily dose of random retardation.

    xkcd - Nerd humour at it's finest.

    Wondermark - A lot like Married to the Sea, really.

    Questionable Contet - I think I need to go back and start from the beginning, though. There's a lot of backstory there.

    Pictures for Sad Children - Quirky.

    Kawaii Not - Weirdly adorably disturbing. :P

    Garfield Minus Garfied - About a bajillion times more awesome than Garfield has ever been.

    Cyanide and Happiness - What more can be said?

    Eegra - You kind of have to be in the right mood for this one. Good if you appreciate weirdness. :P

    Dinoballs - I'm not linking to it because it's not at all uncommon for one of the characters to have his penis out, but it's another cute comic that's pretty depraved.

    Cat and Girl - Sometimes I get the feeling that the author is too philosophical for her own good, but I still love it.

    Buttersafe - Wants to be Cyanide and Happiness, but it's worth reading.

    A Softer World - Definitely one of the best out there. The alt text for each comic is almost like having double the punchlines. It's great.

    Super Effective - Where the VeeGeeCats guy's talent went to.

    The Non-Adventures of Wonderella - Ok, more people need to read this comic. The writing is superb. Wonderella is a great character.

    I also subscribe to a ton of regular newspaper comic strips online (Like Zits, Doonesbury, Calvin and Hobbes, Rubes, and so on.) According to my RSS reader, I subscribe to 72 webcomics. Whoah.

    Haha, did that guy draw for Mega Python back in the day or did he just get his style from there? Either way, awesome.

    Also, that Garfield minus Garfield is sublime! My bookmark list is expanding...
