"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Okay, I'm curious. I'd like to see what all you people read.

Post the strips you read today (or "so far this week/month" or whatever for less-frequently-updated strips), any you usually do but didn't today, or whatever. Reasoning/excuses welcome and encouraged; feel free to discuss, though, although really heated discussions of anything should probably go to new threads.

To start things out:

Read today: Narbonic, Wigu, DS, and Achewood.

Usually read, but have fallen behind on: Goats, Bob the Angry Flower, Ozy & Millie, Owlie, a few others.

You?

Read today: Achewood, DS.

Usually read, way behind: WiGU (and I'm ashamed to have let this lapse, but then again, it's going to be lots of love when I catch up).

Have read on occasion, but let pile up: Goats, Sluggy Freelance, Elftor, Sexy Losers (slightly ashamed, as it's not really very good).

Print comics that I usually read online: Tom the Dancing Bug, Red Meat, Partially Clips.

Print comic that I read online and in print because it's that good: Maakies.

Dailys (in order):

Achewood, of course

DS

Kevin and Kell

Sluggy Freelance

The Bleat (not a comic)

Weekly or less frequently (not necessarily webcomics):

The Onion (and the AV Club, viz. Savage Love, Red Meat and PGS

Things my Girlfriend and I have Argued About

Dribbleglass

That's my web reading list.  Oh, and I also read Carolyn Hax's advice column and live chat in the Washington Post.  But you'll have to find that link on your own because, frankly, I'm lazy.

I read relatively few. I think it's down to how bad my memory is; I can only remember to check a couple of places daily.
So Achewood is my daily one.
I check up on Drew Weing's Journal Strip and Pup over at serializer every few days.
I used to read Elftor fairly regularly but then it introduced me to Achewood.

Yeah, the Journal Comic is on my "read ever so often and dive the archives" list. It's very archive-readable, which I like a lot.

Oh! And Cat and Girl is also excellent and weekly, although I haven't read Monday's strip yet.

Achewood
Lileks.
Scary Go Round.

Then it gets weird:

National Review Online's Corner.
Hunter S Thompson's  column on ESPN page 2
The Onion
Dave Barry's Blog
MulletsGalore.

Most of these I look at every day although I got behind on Scary Go Round.

. . . but I'll speare you.

Please don't.

Anyway, I thought this was just looking for strips, but I also read pretty much everything on ESPN's Page 2, especially Tuesday Morning Quarterback. Also, most of the columnists at CNNSI (now SI.com), the Onion, Straight Dope, Dan Savage, anything I can find online by David Sedaris, and sometimes FeroJ's whatever it is.
