That second list has some very good ones. Some other ones that are or were popular: Girl Genius, winner of several awards for both story and art, a story about a world ruled by MAD SCIENCE: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ 8-bit theater (finished now), an overall parody of Final Fantasy: http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-going-where/ http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-goin... Megatokyo - it used to be pretty big among manga fans, I don't know if it still is: http://megatokyo.com/ http://megatokyo.com/ Savage chickens, a strip drawn in sticky notes: http://www.savagechickens.com/ http://www.savagechickens.com/ Basic Instructions - hard to explain, but still, very funny: http://basicinstructions.net/ http://basicinstructions.net/ Penny Arcade, one of the first "big" webcomics, from the same guys that run PAX: http://penny-arcade.com/ http://penny-arcade.com/ Manly guys doing manly things, an overall parody of macho characters in popular culture: http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/ http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/ XKCD, terrible (minimalist?) drawing, truly great writing (if you are geek and/or math inclined): http://xkcd.com http://xkcd.com Keep in mind that for new readers it is usually better to start from the first strip and move on, but that usually means that you have to endure some pretty terrible artwork (check the "first" button, and move on). Also, it depends a lot on what you like reading - XKCD is almost exclusively math-oriented while Penny Arcade is not really funny if you are not into videogames. Then again, that's the good side - there's something out there for everyone.

Two more for the list: Sinfest: http://sinfest.net http://sinfest.net Why you should check it out: Great illustrations. Mid-to-Long story arcs, with single shorts thrown in full color panels on Sundays. And it is SFW. Questionable Content: http://questionablecontent.net http://questionablecontent.net Some find it a bit insipid and too self-referential at times, but it has it's brilliant moments. Also (mostly) SFW.

I'll link to favorite strips of mine instead of to the home page :D Piled Higher and Deeper - grad students. http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=591 http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=591 Extra Ordinary - surreal humor. http://www.exocomics.com/05 http://www.exocomics.com/05 Boy on a Stick and Slither - surreal humor. It's dead now, and judging by my friends is a minority taste, but has several of my favorite strips to its name. http://archive.boasas.com/?c=286 http://archive.boasas.com/?c=286 minus - more surreal humor. Also dead, but excellent. http://www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus13.html http://www.kiwisbybeat.com/minus13.html Jesus and Mo - making fun of religion and the stupid things it inspires people to say. http://www.jesusandmo.net/2006/05/11/skin/ http://www.jesusandmo.net/2006/05/11/skin/ Sam and Fuzzy - Hard to describe. The cartoonist does a great job making sure there's a joke in every strip, despite involved continuity. http://www.samandfuzzy.com/1482 http://www.samandfuzzy.com/1482 Station V3 - originally great. Hit such an awful dry spell that I unsubscribed, but hey, maybe it's funny again. http://www.stationv3.com/d/20110722.html http://www.stationv3.com/d/20110722.html Of those already listed, I also endorse savage chickens, xkcd, basic instructions, and sinfest. http://xkcd.com/349/ http://xkcd.com/349/ http://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/identification.html http://www.savagechickens.com/2010/11/identification.html http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2010/1/10/how-to-write-a-superhero-story.html http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2010/1/10/ho... http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4746 http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4746
