Argh, for some reason I had a brain hiccup and left Anime News Nina out of the list of webcomics I read regularly. So I'm posting to let you know the results for that should be 1 higher than they are.

I wish I could specify Rob for Cyanide and Happiness, but I read the others too.

I only follow two webcomics regularly; xkcd and Anime News Nina. I'm very happy to see the two of them be so popular.

Should I only enter one title in the "Other" category? (since it says they will be added to the list, I don't know if I can just separate them with commas.)

Hah, I'm the exact same. I enjoy Nina for poking fun at anime tropes and I enjoy xkcd because I love programming, math, and sarcasm. |

xkcd is my and several friend's favorites, but I do really like Homestuck/MSPA, Oglaf, Shortpacked, and Gunnerkrigg Court, which coincidentally are the ones I am usually up to date on.

I actually read a lot of webcomics, but when I remember they only take a few seconds to read, it's not that bad. Here's the ones that weren't included for me:
Awkward Zombie Between Failures Sticky Dilly Buns Ménage à 3 (I added this one since it's my favorite) Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (surprised it wasn't listed since it co-stars a Pokemon trainer) Rare Candy Treatment (another surprise this didn't make it since it's based on Pokemon) Courting Disaster Mistakes of Youth (yet another surprise since it's about an anime fan) |

Glad to see MSPaintAdventures and Penny Arcade in the mix. Another set of webcomics I enjoy reading from time to time is A Softer World, Miamaska, Boxer Hockey, Cucumber Quest, Alien Loves Predator, Moonsticks, Girly(Completed), Starfighters, and TeaHouse.

Probably the exception here but I read a ton of comics in general and Webcomics are a great way to find new artists. I prefer long story and the first that come to mind are Digger by Ursula Vernon and Cucumber Quest by Gigi DG.
Digger exemplifies the best use of webcomics as a quick and easy way to get a story that couldn't get published out there to the masses, and then go on to win awards and sell. Cucumber Quest is honestly the prettiest thing you'll ever see, unless you transferred Gigi's artwork onto a cake. Honorable mentions: Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant Warrior U Ellie on Planet X JL8 Unsounded |

Totally agree about her art. Not to mention, her other comics are pretty funny to boot also. |

Don't know how Dumbing of Age was there but Shortpacked! wasn't. They're both active and by the same guy. Unrelated, The Non-Adventures of Wonderella should be there, too. And Whomp!.

I wasn't sure if I should include Schlock Mercenary or not, since I don't read it on a daily basis. Most of the time I'm reading the compilation that's made available around Hugo voting time.
The comic I read the most avidly online, which I would have selected as my favorite if it were an option, is Safe Havens. It got kicked out of my local paper years and years ago. I read it at a Web site for another newspaper for a while, and then it vanished from there. I'm not sure how many papers still carry it. |

Can't believe I forgot to mention Sakana by Madeline Rupert.
Rupert's expressions and playfulness with the comic format goes hand-in-hand with her story. Definitely recommend this one. |

I also have a list of web comics I read but didn't show up in the list:
Axe Cop (The one I added to other) Ectopiary Johnny Wander Kawaii Not Manley Guys Doing Manly Things Order of the Stick Romantically Apocalyptic StupidFox Super Effective The Trenches Starfighter Tea House Yaoi 911 Webcomics I understand there are so many you can't add them all yourself but more then one "other" would have been nice. |

I've been reading for about the past nine years, so I GOT OPINIONS. I also suspect I read too many since I check 40+ at least once a month, and many of those multiple times a week. I noticed even though Gunnerkrigg Court was listed as an option in the "which do you read" field, it's not shown in the "favorites". So it was hard, but I picked Xkcd from my remainders (although currently my top pick is Unsounded by Ashley Cope- so amazing).
I thought Digger was really good too, but since that's actually concluded (a rarity) maybe it's not eligible? Cucumber Quest's art is interesting, normally that style just grates on my senses, but I love the sense of humor in it, rather subtle. There's literally thousands of webcomics out there, though you might have to trudge through/into a few (<6-7) awful or mediocre ones to get to the quality productions.
I didn't even see that option. |
