I would like to know.  I'm less interested in the unconnected, single-strip comics (xkcd, SMBC &c.) as I already read plenty of those.  I'm more interested in getting into ongoing serials (like FreakAngels or Questionable Content (though I'm not that much of a fan of QC)).

So: what webcomics do you read?

Colin YNWA

Its been mentioned elsewhere (and not sure if it meets your needs?) but its always worth mentioning Simon Frasier's Lilly MacKenzie book 1 here

Order of the Stick and Erfworld are both superb, if frustratingly irregular in their updates!

Emperor

I can't claim to kknow what is going on but:

Iain Laurie has a wonderfully diseased Kevin O'Neill feel to his work and you can find more here:

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Ben Paddon

Hello! I'm Ben, the co-creator and Head Writer of Jump Leads. Just thought I'd pop by and say thanks to worldshown for mentioning our little comic. :)

My all time fave webcomic is still Beaver and Steve and I have both printed collections.
Its on hold at the moment, possibly forever, but you can still check out all the older strips here

Thanks for all the suggestions (keep them coming).  I've read through Lilly Mackenzie, Jump Leads, Blank It and Erfworld, all of which I really enjoyed.  I'm on strip #505 of Order of the Stick (which I have followed before, but evidently a few years ago, as this is all new) which I love.  I plan on going through as many of these as I can.

One note for any webcomic authors out there: both an easy way to read through your archives and a working RSS feed which only includes your comic are re-he-he-heally important.  There have been a couple of comics that I've abandoned (and I came very close to not following Lilly Mackenzie, thanks to act-i-vate's idiot RSS feed) because of these, which I would probably have enjoyed were it not for the technical irritations.

Thanks to the recommendation here, I've read a lot of Jump Leads now and I like it a lot. Hi, Ben! Thanks for dropping by.

Odd Bloke, are you stuck in the house, or just in a very boring job? I don't mean to be impolite. Just wondering.

 Nothing to add by way of recomendations (except The Ten Doctors at shipsinker.com if you're a Who fan, but I found that from a recomendation on here so everyone probably knows about it) but I just wanted to say that I've had a look at most of the ones listed above and they are mostly solid gold. So thanks. I for one have many happy hours of reading ahead.

And I'l second Odd Blokes plea to keep them coming. I just never seem to find this kind of thing on the web so I'm always looking forward to the odd link that crops up on here.

I don't know about Odd Boys circumstances but my I use them to stay sane filling the hours. You don't realise how many hours are in the day till you don't have a job to fill them with anymore.

Ah, sorry to hear that faplad. I've been unemployed and it's hell on Earth.

Still, there's value in free time. I'm currently filling my time with a full-time job, as much overtime as I can get, helping to organise a charity beer festival (Perth Beer Festival, September 5 - tickets available now!), childcare (nursery starts tomorrow!) and looking after a seven-months-pregnant wife who's been signed off work with exhaustion. Part of the deal for getting her to agree to rest up was I would clean the house from top to bottom, so she could feel more relaxed in it.

I'm fucking knackered.
