I love reading webcomics.  Here's a list of webcomics I've enjoyed, past and current.  It's nice to remember things that used to bring wonder!  Sometimes even the fact they once existed is marvelous. I used to list 0 - 10 ratings in six different traits for each comic along with an overall score, but... I decided that was a little too geeky and that it was presumptuous to assume anyone would care that assiduously.

COMICS I CURRENTLY READ
Title/Artist	Link/Activity Status (as of February 2026)	20-word synopsis	Comments
The Order of the Stick By Rich Burlew	https://www.giantitp.com/ Active.	Originally a loving stick-figure spoof of Dungeons & Dragons, it's grown into a smart, emotionally moving, masterfully crafted epic.	Served as the original host for Erfworld.
Carry On By Kathy Garrison	http://www.hirezfox.com/km/ Active.	An American journalist turns out to be heiress to a celebrated African hyena dukedom at the heart of machiavellian conflict!	It started as a rather shallow gag strip, but suddenly got good when the cartoonist moved the action to East Africa!
Freefall By Mark Stanley	http://freefall.purrsia.com/ Active.	An alien starship captain notorious for artful shenanigans, an AI wolf engineer, a future of lovable robots... science and silliness!	You can learn a lot from this slow-paced comic.  The creator is friends with creators of several other comics, including Carry On.
Nancy By Olivia Jaimes	https://www.gocomics.com/nancy/ Active.	Nancy knows she's destined for greatness, but how can she achieve it without working?  Hypocrisy, metahumor and sight gags galore.	Not actually a webcomic, but I read it there! A century-old legacy comic noted for experiencing a renaissance under a new, female cartoonist.
Uh Oh it's a Dinosaur By andrwblz	http://itsadinosaur.com/comic/pk1-00/ Active.	A cartoonist is sent a mysterious talking lizard thing that wants to explore the world.  Fascinating wacky casts of characters!	Starts in black and white, reboots later in color, and gets a bit less wacky.  The titular dinosaur is, possibly, the cutest thing ever imagined.
Projection Edge By Thomas K. Dye	http://newshounds.keenspot.com/ Active.	In a world where pets are basically second-class people, dogs have a spiritual ability to visit an astral realm...	From the creator of Newshounds, and set in what appears to be the same world.
Faux Pas By Robert and Margaret Carspecken	http://www.ozfoxes.com/fauxpas.htm Active.	Genuine, high-quality cuteness--not the fakey saccharine stuff!  Stars foxes on a ranch for animals used in the movies.	I used to buy prints and cards from the creators and was on their Christmas list for a while.  They're sweet.
Angels with Broken Hearts By M. B. Saunders	http://angelswithscalywings.com/comics/ Active.	Slice of life, romance, friendship, scientific rivalry, small town dragons, post-apocalyptic struggle, politics, police procedure, science fiction prequel story.	A crowdfunded continuation of the visual novel Angels With Scaly Wings, this crowdfunded strip features three arcs drawn by different artists.
The Out-of-Placers By Valsalia	https://www.valsalia.com/ Active.	In a fantasy city-state, a man is transformed into a silly rat-kobold thing with unsettling (but thematic) results.	Valsalia is the reason I joined Patreon... and the inventor of yinglets, which are a thing on the internet!
Flipside By Brion Foulke	https://www.flipsidecomics.com/ Active.	A fantasy-horror romance epic with fascinating worldbuilding and an equally fascinating, absurdly open-minded main character. Conversations and combat.
bimshwellian comicoid by bimshwel	http://bimshwel.com/ope/wud/ Occasionally updated.	Colorful schlemiels and schlemazels navigating an exquisitely alien cartoon world.  Psychedelic slapsticky creature fiction in which nothing ever goes right.	Or maybe it's called Repugnance Pagoda, or chard parthenon.  Or just Bimshwel.  The author seems to very artfully hate himself but I'm sure the truth is far more nuanced.
Forward By Tailsteak	http://www.forwardcomic.com/ Active.	Thoughtfully crafted 22nd-century fiction exploring how one goes about living in a utopia.  Ennui, awkwardness, and artificial intelligence abound.	The strip has comments every day that are often more insightful or entertaining than the strip itself.  Bonus!
Superosity By Chris Crosby	http://superosity.keenspot.com/ Active.	Surreal comic packed with gratuitous absurdities, unique humor, bizarre characters, pop culture references, disgustingly funny art and dialogue.  Keenspot's first.	One of the oldest continuously updated webcomics out there.
Slightly Damned By Chu	https://www.sdamned.com/comic/ Active.	Unlikely friends in the first ring of a fantasy hell escape death and become embroiled in a tragic angel-demon war.	Origin of the jakkai species.
Oglaf By Trudy & Doug	https://www.oglaf.com/ Active.	Erotic fantasy comics about preposterous, creative situations. Driven by humor, sex, and semi-episodic world-building, in approximately that order.	I didn't know this strip was drawn by two people until I checked just now. Mind blown.
Prequel or Making a Cat Cry: The Adventure By Kazerad	https://www.prequeladventure.com/ Very sporadic.	Reader-influenced story of a naive adventurer, patterned on Homestuck and set in the Elder Scrolls world.  Intelligent and droll.	With Ch'marr and various others assisting with assets.
Darths and Droids By the Comic Irregulars	https://www.darthsanddroids.net/ Active.	Star Wars envisioned as a tabletop RPG. Told in screencaps. Very thoughtful reimagination of plot points; players in multiple roles.	And there's high-quality daily commentary, too.  They've been working their way through the Star Wars corpus and are currently in Episode IX.
Wondermark By David Malki	http://wondermark.com/ Seldom updated anymore!	Thoughtful, conversational, creatively illustrated comics about ideas and odd people created with a big dump of Edwardian/Victorian clip art.	Also check out his novels, games, and other work. I get his newsletter!
xkcd By Randall Munroe	https://xkcd.com/ Active.	Insightful variety strip about science, society, math, metahumor, stick figures, and geeky stuff.  Occasional epics and creative pictographs.  Very intelligent!	Perhaps the world's most influential webcomic?
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal By Zach Weinersmith	https://www.smbc-comics.com/ Active.	Lessons about life, philosophy, human frailty, God's foibles, robots, aliens, obsessive people, dysfunctional relationships, bizarre schemes, science, and professional failures.	Comparable to xkcd, but more depressing.  The creator has written books and produced events! There used to be an associated video series. The early single panel strips have an arguably better flavor.
Horse, Horse, Another Horse and the Zebra By Roman Ženka	https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/horse-horse-another-horse-and-the-zebra/list?title_no=857803 Maybe someday it will update again.	A self-aware comic about art, philosophy, and two identical horses who seek to reset the universe. And another horse.	As this comic is by my friend and I am his only known reader, I hope it continues someday! I have been given the right to portray Another Horse through roleplay, and it was too much fun not to do it again.
SOME OF THE COMICS I USED TO READ
Erfworld By Rob Balder	https://archives.erfworld.com/ Defunct.	An intricate epic set in the world of a cutesy fictional fantasy wargame.  Life is war!  Great characters and philosophy.	Before its tragic collapse, this was perhaps the biggest overall project of any webcomic-centered endeavor in the world.
Homestuck By Andrew Hussie	https://www.homestuck.com/ Famously complete.	Four children play a computer game that turns out to encompass the world.  Partly audience-driven.  Bizarre, epic, beautiful, hilarious.	My pick for the most intricate story ever told.  Its fandom is extensive and games about this webcomic are still coming out.
1/0 By Tailsteak	oneoverzero.keenspace.com Ended after 1000 strips.	Talking molecules, earthworm, grassman, eyeball, living on a dead bear.  A brilliant thought experiment examining relations between creator and created.	The cartoonist moved on to other projects and then started Leftover Soup!
Leftover Soup By Tailsteak	http://www.leftoversoup.com/first.php Ended in 2019.	A web of interesting characters living life.  Awkward roommates and situations, polyamory, roleplaying, cooking, ambiguous romance, a little crime drama.
Zebra Girl By Joe England	http://zebragirl.thecomicseries.com/ Complete, with occasional new material.	A young woman is accidentally turned into a demon, sending her family on journeys through the beautiful, terrifying supernatural world.	It starts a bit loosey-goosy and gets much tighter, both in terms of art and story.  By the end, oh my gosh the gravity of things.
Gaia By Powree and Oliver Knörzer	http://www.sandraandwoo.com/gaia/ Complete.	I never grasped the plot of this strip, but it has detailed magic, thieves, artifacts, heists, traps, adventure, dragons and love!
General Protection Fault By Jeffrey Darlington	www.gpf-comics.com Finally done, with additional material.	Story of a small software firm.  Interesting characters, high drama, whimsical storylines.  Includes romance, espionage, geek humor, parodies, the works.	It got more complicated and science-fictioney over time.
Schlock Mercenary By Howard Tayler	www.schlockmercenary.com Ended several years ago.	A space mercenary company's complicated, perilous and lucrative exploits in a future filled with AIs, aliens, intrigue and government incompetence.
False Knees By Joshua	https://falseknees.com/ Sporadic.	Fascinating things to look at given quirky personalities and ennui.  Lots of birds trying to wrap their heads around existence.	Pretty darn Canadian!  Maybe even... French Canadian?
The Abominable Charles Christopher By Karl Kerschel	https://karlkerschl.com/abominable/ Active.	A compassionate yeti meets a boy king trying to master his warrior's fate. Meanwhile, woodland animals live fascinating silly lives.	This thing is still going?
Bob the Angry Flower By Stephen Notley	www.angryflower.com Active; posted weekly.	A vainglorious orgy of ideas.  Storytelling without bounds (or stories).  Title character does everything.  Used to be better and funnier.	I also know the author from writing copy and designing levels for Popcap Games. We exchanged e-mails once.
Learn to Live by Umbrascythe	https://www.deviantart.com/umbrascythe/art/Learn-To-Live-1-670169839 Active.	Inspired by The Out-of-Placers, a yinglet raised by humans seeks life among his own kind (and forgotten memories).	A fan comic hosted on DeviantArt that's lovingly rendered, even if it doesn't have the comedy of the original.
Triangle and Robert by Patrick Shaunnessey	http://home.attbi.com/~pshaughn/tandr.html Complete.	The ultimate in self-reference.  Polygons grapple with cartoonist for meaning.  Wacky quests, cuisine magic, geeky references, overarching plotlines, philosophy.
Bruno By Chris Baldwin	www.brunostrip.com/bruno.html Complete.	The life and times of a wandering Gen-Xer.  Deeply moving, unabashedly liberal, philsophical, acerbic, internally consistent. Cast of dozens.
Little Dee By Chris Baldwin	http://www.littledee.net/?p=45 Ended, probably.	An orphan's new family are a bear, a dog, and a vulture. They relate humorously and go on silly adventures.
Spacetrawler By Chris Baldwin	https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2010/01/01/spacetrawler-4/ Still active, with completed arcs.	Six colorful, international humans are abducted by aliens to fight injustice. They navigate a universe of diverse creatures and politics.
Vainglorious By Kelly	https://www.vaingloriouscomic.com/ Active?	An impudent dragon challenges his queen and finds himself exiled in human form, in need of help from hapless bystanders.
Demon Eater by JillyFoo	http://demoneater.thecomicseries.com/comics/ Status oddly unclear, since it was posted to multiple places.	The world is just a fleshscape of demons eating other demons to survive... plus portals to the mysterious human world.
Absurd Notions By Kevin Pease	www.absurdnotions.org Ended.	Adult roomates with varying personalities.  Sys-admin, goofy artist, simpleton, programmer.  Social satire, speculative humor, the occasional role-playing sequence.
21st Century Fox By Scott Kellogg	techfox.keenspace.com I guess it ended recently?	Wide-eyed science fiction in an anthropomorphic world.  Marvels of engineering, artifical intelligence, space colonization, fast vehicles!  Colorful and fun.
Kevin and Kell By Bill Holbrook	www.herdthinners.com Active; posted daily.	Combines computer humor with animal jokes.  Celebrates diversity.  A large cast developed over years.  Getting tired, but was awesome once.	One of the first daily webcomics ever.
Ozy and Millie By D.C. Simpson	www.ozyandmillie.org Complete.	Two small town fox children, one contemplative, one hyperimaginative, find solace as fellow misfits.  Could be profound, but squanders it.	I eventually met the author, who played Twilight Sparkle for a while on the My Little Pony MUCK I helped run.
Goats By Jon Rosenberg	www.goats.com Ended.	A bizarre bar and the adventures of the crazies who call it home.  Highly surreal humor, melodramatic plotlines, ridiculous characters.
Scenes from a Multiverse By Jon Rosenberg	https://amultiverse.com/comic/2010/06/14/parenthood/ Ended.	Diverse surreal aliens and worlds doing surprisingly human things. The readers voted on which worlds to bring back for more.
A Bird's Art Blog Potoo Brigham	https://potoobrigham.tumblr.com/growth-spurt-au Complete?	A Tumblr comic about Undertale. Asriel lives, a gangly malcontent teen, with Frisk for a sibling. Gags and family drama.
Sabrina Online By Eric W. Schwartz	www.sabrina-online.com Slow but active; 3-5 strips monthly.	A reclusive web designer who works for a porn company and her quiet social dramas.  And her living Transformers.  Anthropomorphic.
Untitled.gif Uncredited	http://untitledgif.org Must be done now, surely.	An incredibly brilliant, incredibly insane tapestry of satire, economics, politics, surrealism, and broken lingo.  The humor works perfectly for me.
Bohemials By James Roberts	www.albionfuzz.com Discontinued.  Archive available for download.	A gloomy look at the poverty-level artistic intelligentsia of England.  Emotionally potent.  Changed names, venues a couple times.  Anthropomorhic.	Formerly known as Albion Fuzz.
Suburban Jungle By John "The Gneech" Robey	www.suburbanjungle.com Complete.	A low-octane soap opera about a model, her friends and career.  Anthropomorphic and very much character-driven.  Rather popular.
Bruno the Bandit By Ian McDonald	www.brunothebandit.com Complete.	A high-quality ongoing fantasy satire.  A boorish bandit and microdragon undergo humorous quests that reflect the silliness of humanity.
Living in Greytown By Dave Kelly	http://www.livingingreytown.com/ Complete.	A brash, unconstrained, elemental drama of a wacky town that none can escape.  Unpredictable, filled with love, lust, and hatred.
Lizard By Dave Kelly	www.lizardcomics.com Complete.	The sequel to Living in Greytown, it follows the most lovable family into American life.  Cuter and sweeter than LiG.
Megatokyo By Fred Gallagher	www.megatokyo.com Still active apparently.	Two young Americans stranded in Japan make a life amid embarrassing romances, untapped superstardom, cute androids and diminuitive guardian angels.
Pupkin By Bobby Crosby	www.bobbycrosby.com No longer active.	A fat puppy tumbles from owner to owner, seeking love in an incomprehensible world.  Anything can happen in this strip.	By the brother of the author of Superosity.
Wigu By Jeffrey Rowland	http://www.overcompensating.com/adventures/ Completd.	A crazy romp through reality and beyond.  One motley family's adventures, aided by trascendant interdimensional video game stars.  Good fun.
Sore Thumbs By Chris Crosby and Owen Gieni	http://www.sorethumbsonline.com/ Complete.	A raving conservative, liberal extremist, irresponsible bubblehead and castrated country veteran run a video game store.  Culture-savvy and atypical.
