Webcomics Thread: Keep On Clickin'

Fourthing Xkcd!
It's just the right amount of both thought-provokation and humor for me.

Fifthing xkcd, it's so brilliantly clever. And I really like Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

As for MSPA-inspired comics, NEO-KOSMOS is pretty good. And who here has heard of Prequel? It started out as a fanventure back on the mspa forums before getting its own site. It's set in the Elder Scrolls universe, but you don't need to have played those games to understand it.

Seconding Ava's Demon. Michelle has finally started to update a bit more frequently now, so that's hopeful. Gunnerkrigg and Paranatural are also both good too. Some other ones:

Monsterkind is a good, talking a lot about racism but also having an underlying conspiracy going on. It's looking to be very interesting.

Namesake is good for those of us who love old fairy tales. It's also one of the best examples of a diverse cast that's out there in webcomics.

Helvetica is hilarious. If only it didn't have such a sporadic update schedule, but I know that webcomic-ing is hard, so I don't blame him.

While it doesn't have a coherent plot, Awkward Zombie is a great comic if you are into video games.

I haven't read it in a while, but ColorQuest is shaping up for interesting things. The site is down right now, unfortunately, but here's a link to the tumblr page in case you wanna get some of the more recent updates.

Seconding SMBC, xkcd, Monsterkind, OoTS, and also Prequel and Ava's Demon providing either of them ever feels like updating again ever. :V

Adding Monster Pulse (What happens when you take 'kids with fighting monsters' stuff like Pokemon or Digimon and make it their now-missing bodyparts instead.
Looking For Group is a fantasy webcomic that was definitely never a World of Warcraft parody, absolutely nope. Has kind of sprawled out into a gelatinous ooze of a plot that doesn't seem to really go anywhere.
Dr McNinja. Borderline-absurdist action fantasy story set in a world like ours, but with some crazy shit like children turning into giant paul bunions due to a facial hair disease and whatnot. Is coming to an end sometime fairly soon, apparently.
Awkward Zombie is a hilarious gag-a-day videogame strip.
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things is also gag-a-day, mostly video games but involves movies, TV shows, and anything else with macho dudes (Subverting stereotypes about them to comedic effect)

read dumbing of age it's about going to college and-

actually wait let me just look at the about page, that'll probably describe it better than i would


yeah thats the ticket

anyways its really good

If you mean Growing Up in the sense that Homestuck is about that, it's not much like that. There's really nothing like the troll or alpha kid "teen drama" that people seem to dislike.

I'm going to express some descenting opinions here:

I never understood why so many people love Gunnerkrigg Court. I mean, don't get me wrong it's a good comic; it's got an entertaining story of consistent quality, and for a webcomic that's great! But I'd never put it among my favorites because it never pulled my into the story or inspired any emotional connection

Also, I'm not that big a fan of Dumbing of Age. I still follow it, but that's because I was more a fan of his earlier, wacky humor based comics. Dumbing of Age, with its attempts at more serious stuff and its seemingly anvilicious attitude, is honestly failing to keep my interest.

TBH I think that DoA is actually not very preachy at all, and the problem is just that people will call anything "heavy-handed" if it even acknowledges certain social issues at all.

I kind of agree with you about Gunnerkrigg Court tho.

Order of the Stick, Dr. McNinja, Ava's Demon; all of those have been mentioned.

One I haven't seen yet is Cucumber Quest! I love that comic. I'm still upset that I don't really have any available way of getting book 3; I have books 1 and 2.

Whomp can be fun. I tend to stick to the story adventures over joke-a-day ones. Geez, I used to keep up with 30 or so comics and it's whittled down to like, 5.

Edit: How about great comics that stopped without a proper end? Daisy Owl was a good read but it just sort of abruptly ended.

Or how about Minus, Great, etc... Geez, I can't even remember the name of the one comic that was still being updated before the entire site went down. Snake Heads something or other; I enjoyed it still.

Used to pay attention to the Snafu-comics collective. Used to read XKCD but stopped, not sure why. Similar with Dinosaur Comics. Good comic, just got tired of it.

VGCats, Nuklear Power, oh...

Fanboys always felt like a comic that should have taken off but couldn't quite get over the hump.

I remember briefly reading this comic where the main plotlne seemed to be the girl waking up with a unicorn tattoo on her ass and that this was very much a big deal. Paranormal something for the name.

Never really liked Ctrl Alt Del or Penny Arcade. Geez, I remember back when a lot of people would recommend Ctrl Alt Del. I never got it; looked stupid to me.

I don't read Questionable Content but it seems like something that comes up in conversation a lot so I feel like I know the basic plot points.

Oh, and that one smash brothers focused comic, oh, what was it. It was one I marathoned, not one I kept up with day-to-day.

Brawl in the family, that's right. Good jokes throughout.


There's Romantically Apocalyptic. It's a bit too confusing I think.

Erfworld I got fed up with because of the art changes and the constant text-based updates. I just lost my patience with it. It was good for what part of it I read.

Otaku Dad I suppose counts.

Wanted to get into Girl Genius but never could seem to get into it. Heard good things about Rice Boy and Gunkering (spelling) Court too.

Ah! Now I'm starting to think of ones I haven't touched in a long while.

The Meek. Seemed to have potential but died out really. Ava's Demon reminds me of it a bit, actually.


Nedroid I still have bookmarked though it never updates. He does the inking for Dr. Mcninja, doesn't he? Or the coloring. Maybe both.

Lackadaisy Cats, of course.

Johnny Wander. I preferred when they did slice-of-life strips. Lucky Penny was pretty good though.

Ah man. Three Panel Soul. And Ah, shit... what was it called. Their first comic. Oh.... phooey. Mac hall? One of my favorites for that was the nuklearator comic for whatever reason. It stands out, at least.

Let's stop the edit here for now. There's ton more I used to read.

If we're broadening it to comics we have/still read despite not actually recommending them, Sinfest (Has been mostly consumed by angry feminist rantings) Dominic Deegan (I can't believe I stuck through all that shit) and +1 to Penny Arcade (Eh, its okay in a mediocre way I guess?)

And one that I am ashamed of myself for forgetting to mention, Goblins! Set in a D&D world, the basic premise is humanizing the nameless mook NPCs, focusing on a party of Goblins whose village gets razed by some low-level adventurers. It's been running for a long time and as you can see by the starting page pointing it out, the art has evolved *DRAMATICALLY* from when it started.

Shame when comics go down. You're totally right on the name there.

And yeah, the one site did go down. It is a shame. Minus was such a gem.

Speaking of sites that went down. Sad Pictures for Children. Or something close to that. Talk about a meltdown. Used to love it though.

I wish I had saved some of the stuff from "Brian and Sora's adventures" or something like that. Brian Clevinger's friend made 10 or so awful comics. But they were still fun. Can't find a damn thing on the internet about his Fonzeroth joke.
