As a rather recent convert to the world of webcomics, I was wondering about their popularity. I personally read 6:

Ctrl + Alt + Del (Strong Language)
Sam and Fuzzy
Questionable Content
Scary Go Round
Diesel Sweeties
Indie Tits (it's about birds)

And I also wondered if anyone wished to recommend any good ones

I've had a look at loads of them, but the ones I read on a regular basis are:

Ctrl+Alt+Del
B.O.A.S.A.S
Questionable Content
Wigu/Overcompensating
White Ninja
Sam and Fuzzy

I also recommend the Perry Bible Fellowship, updated every sunday.

I've got a diesel sweeties T-shirt, and I want a BOASAS one.

Edit: I now also read 'Beaver and Steve' and have a BOASAS t-shirt ordered.

I read:

Checkerboard Nightmare
Something Positive
Sluggy Freelance
Penny Arcade
Wigu
Overcompensating
PvP
Goats
Questionable Content
Achewood
Get Your War On
Sam and Fuzzy
Daily Dinosaur Comics
Perry Bible Fellowship
White Ninja
Sexy Losers (currently on hiatus)

umm... I think that's it.

While all three are hilarious, they are technically not comics, since they are single images rather than a sequential series...

/pedantry

Why in the darn tootin' heck hasn't anyone mentioned MegaTokyo?
Also:
Mac Hall
Questionable Content
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Sore Thumbs
Penny Arcade
Star Cross'd Destiny
John and John (sexual content)
Alpha Shade
Ghastly's Ghastly Comic (sexual content)
Sexy Losers (nothing but sexual content)
Checkerboard Nightmare
Something Positive
Mondo Mecho
Chugworth Academy
Misfile

..and others. Which I can't remember now because I haven't updated my bookmarks.

Edit: Strong Language or generally inappropriate material for young people in some of these.

Since you asked...

I used to read MegaTokyo. I stopped for various reasons. Among them: the plot was moving at glacial speed; I was having trouble figuring out who was who, since Piro can only draw one young female face and 60% of the cast is made up of schoolgirls crushing on Piro anyway; those damn filler strips... basically, it stopped being fun to read, and started being a chore.

Heh. Shirt Guy Dom > You

Rawr.

Something Positive
Achewood
Pathetic Inc

I read Sluggy for a while, and I'm also intending to get into Diesel Sweeties soon (I've only just caught up on the Achewood archive). And there's others that I can't remember.

I said no webcomics... then I got addicted.

Able and Baker
Boy on a Stick and Slither
Butternutsquash
No 4th Wall to Break
Questionable Content
Comet 7
Theater Hopper
Little Gamers
VG Cats
Bob the Angry Flower
Mac Hall
Gimme Back my God! (A gem, but I think the site's been abandoned)
Get Your War On/other comics at that site
Lore Brand Comics
Orneryboy
Diesel Sweeties
Nihilism: The Pandora Project
Ctrl Alt Del
Perry Bible Fellowship

Those are all ones I check regularly, along with toothpaste for dinner and natalie dee which are IMAGE comics but I am still working my way through the archives and getting into some others, as I always am. From the above list, a few may suck, but I still read them knowing that they suck, and also I didn't link because I was too lazy and most of them are probably inappropriate in some way, shape, or form.

I have no life, by the way.

I believe there's another topic like this somewhere.

But no matter. I read:

Penny Arcade
Anime Arcadia
VG Cats
Sexy Losers and
(Sometimes) Sinfest.

No, these are Image comics

Copy and pasted straight from the lovely bookmarks.html that Firefox generates for me:

Penny Arcade
Questionable Content
Something Positive
Order of the Stick
Daily Dinosaurs
Asylum 360
My New Filing Technique Is Unstoppable
Boy on a Stick and Slither
Diesel Sweeties
Scary Go Round
Nothing Nice to Say
Applegeeks
Little Gamers
goats
the Creatures in my Head
Nodwick
natalie dee
Alien Loves Predator
Chugworth Academy

Not _all_ checked regularly, it tends to happen in bursts of webcomic addiction, and not technically all comics.

<insert standard disclaimer where I take no responsibility for you being horribly offended, forgetting to feed your pets due to days of webcomic addiction or the apocalypse>

It hasn't been that bad for ages. I agree that the filler strips were annoying, but those have ceased almost entirely, he usually will just push back a strip instead of doing a Dead Piro Day or the craptasm that is a Dom strip. And of COURSE the plot is slow, he has to stretch it out for however long he ever wants to draw it - once Piro and Kimiko hook up (and Largo and Erika hook up too), then it's all over. I can't imagine a good webmanga being made out of relationship sagas. Pining, awkward crush-like sagas, yes, relationships, not so much, 'cause the characters lose the traits that made us geeky, poor-at-relationship types love them so much.

/end rant... /me is protective of all things japanese-y

Well, if it's changed maybe I'll start reading again, because I used to like it a whole lot. But there's ways of keeping a plot going without "Girl hits on Piro, Piro is an idiot, lather rinse repeat".



/me awaits MissyAlti's defense of kancho

Sluggy! Sluggy! Sluggy! And I've recently started reading martins house its written by a friend of mine and he needs all the hits he can get!

I forgot about that one, I read that too

You read Martins House!!!! Yay!!! I'm mentioned in one of the strips and my ex is quite clearly humiliated in another (most recent)!

That's okay, because I voted "0" in the poll anyway

Amen. Much less filly stuff.

And "craptasm" is American for "amazing thing", right?

...right?

Hmm...

Little Gamers
Applegeeks

And I used to read MegaTokyo and 8-Bit Theater as well. But I just kind of stopped. A long time ago. And plus I never got to meet the creators. Thank you Otakon, I got to hang out with Hawk and madsen. Briefly. And in costume.

8-bit theatre is the only one I've really read.

I read two, I did, now I only read one, because Mall Monkeys is no more.... but I still read Sexy Losers.

I read Something Positive
Friendly Hostility
Two Lumps (it's about cats)
Wigu
Toothpaste for Dinner
Wapsi Square
Ohmygods (which is basically gay pagan little gamers)
I used to read Queen of Wands and boy meets boy but they are deaded.

Sluggy Freelance
Freefall

Goth boy
Boy meets boy
amaranth(not actually a web comic but I can't afford postage right now)

Updates! I haven't read Sluggy in a while, the last two storylines (Oceans Unmoving and the one that followed it) completely failed to interest me at all in any way.

New comics picked up:

Starshift Crisis (by the writer/artist of Checkerboard Nightmare)
Crap I Drew on my Lunch Break
Asylum on 5th Street
Girl Genius
Gossamer Commons

I'm partially bumping this becuase earlier today I actually started to read a webcomic.

This morning I read through the entire series of Yahtzee Takes on the World, which was a one-a-day series for over two years... so I read through a couple hundred.

I also did the same a few weeks back with Chris and Trilby by the same guy, but fortunately there were only 85ish.

I also downloaded and played all his games.

Man, I am seriously bored right now, but there you go.

Update

I still read all the ones above and also read:

Penny Arcade
Sinfest
Men In Hats

*gets fingers out*

A couple hundred? How does that work?

Also: 8-bit theatre is now on the list.

Well, I don't actually read this webcomic, but I was surfing some webrings, looking for a place to put my webcomic (I'm pasting it in every webring I can find!) and i thought, "Hey, wait a minute!"

The Other Side

I have no idea what it's about.

i read a whole lot of web comics. go to drunkduck.com if you want to see some good ones. ^^

My favs on there are: Charby the vampirate, GBCinc, Elijah And Azuu, Lola, Vampire Phantasm, NOT VAMPIRE RELATED (ITS MY COMIC!), Gunnerkrigg court.

and some that are good to look up on the net are Megatokyo and Misfile. ^^

Sinfest
Wapsi Square
Sore Thumbs
Filthy Lies

By the end of the holidays there will probably be more. I am bored enough to read through huge archives of webcomics at the moment.

I'm currently reading ctrl+alt+del and some weirdy beardy French comic which I do not know the name of.

Ctrl alt del... and i have the book....

I just read Sluggy Freelance right now or I get too distracted. All hail Bun-Bun, god of warlike rabbits everywhere!

I spent the early hours of this morning reading archives of that^ because of you.

AHAHAHAHAHA! Ahahahahahahahahaha! Ahaha! Aha! Ha!

/manical laughter

And much of last night too.
I'm all caught up now.

arachnidoc17's webcomics rock!

Smash the systemis the only one I know of, it is written by a friend who i larp with who plays the best bard EVER, this one is all about an office wiith a viking as a temp. it rocks.

Ahhh... webcomics....

I currently read 53 webcomics. That's excluding Doonesbury, which I read online but is syndicated, and also excludes four or five that I used to read and then dropped. I also read Websnark and Comixpedia regularly, and occasionally read Tangents - and from those I've picked up quite a few on my current list.

And yes, I've read the archives for every one. I would post a list with links, but I'm not sure whether people would consider it as spamming for a list of that size.

Updates!

The above and:

Butternutsquash

Plus the 24 syndicated strips that appear every day on this page

I've started reading General Protection Fault (GPF) lately and I've been through the archives. It's a sort of sic-fi geek soap opera that covers a lot of fun stuff. Experiment with it if you have the time.

If you're looking for a wierdly silly web-comic, I would reccomend cyanide and happiness (http://explosm.net/comics/) It's the kind that's so strange you have to laugh.

Ooh, a bump.
