I still miss Lore Brand Comics.

The story line up at littledee.net this week is awesome.

A Miracle of Science has just completed and the entire run is available.

Group minds, mad science as a memetic disease/disorder, plenty of automatons. A suggested read all in one run.

I think A Softer World should appeal to an Achewood crowd, but I've been wrong before. The link goes to one of my favourites just in case today's is crap.

Achewood, Ozy and Millie, and xkcd. That's it.

I refuse to add any more to the routine because what I have seen of others hasn't been terribly impressive (none of them have been particularly bad, mostly just mediocre), and I don't want to ruin the "perfect zone" of the three webcomics I really like.

I've never been much into paper comics, although many of my friends are comic geeks. I am totally obsessed with Wonder Woman, however, and I do keep track of her storyline and her comic to a degree; I've just never bought a comic book in my life. The times I think, "Gee, with as much Wonder Woman geekitude as I possess, I should probably start buying the comic," I end up going to the comics store, thumbing through a couple of issuess, and feeling satisfied that I'm updated on what's going on in her life. I then walk out empty-handed. It gives me a feeling of unease, like I'm afraid all the other card-carrying Wonder Woman geeks out there will kick me out of the club for not buying the comic. But the occasional comic-store thumb-through is sufficient enough for me. S'weird.

I am kind of surprised at the lack of Dinosaur Comics readership, it seems like a thing people would enjoy. Also, David Malki's Wondermark is consistently hilarious, but I've forgotten if it has been mentioned.

Other than those, I read Achewood and Dr. McNinja. Once every couple of months I will catch myself up on the PBF and A Softer World, but I can't be minded to remember when they update.

I kind of adore Sandman, and I dare say that it is not only nostalgia that causes this. Otherwise, I can not really compel myself to buy print comics as they are expensive and not terribly rereadable, so beyond the occasional flip-through at the bookstore I do not read any.

I would be a Bad Semi-Friend if I didn't mention that I am keeping up with Emma, a web-comic-ish thing by a kind of friend of mine. I really dig his style of illustrating.

Also he is forever a Badass because his application essay to the school of art at WashU was partially in Comic form.

If we're recommending print comics too, Queen and Country by Greg Rukker is the only one I read regularly and I find it tasty indeed.

PBF, Dinosaur Comics and Maakies are in the local weekly and I read those, but the only one I regularly read online is Achewood. I will periodically catch up on GYWO.

Ah, I love A Softer World. It's the sort of thing I'd be sticking on the wall if it weren't for the fact that I actually rather like to be happy most of the time.

I have just been introduced to Astronaut Elementary and am as yet undecided on it, but it has occupied some time I should have spent working which is generally a good sign.

Doc, I just check A Softer World out, and it's fantastic.  Thanks!

Dinosaur Comics isn't a comic.  Comics include art.

I recently discovered fark.com and the fark.com tv episodes on superdeluxe.com. From there I found Baby Cakes cartoon which is the funniest shit I've seen since achewood.
