Web Comics!
The following are my current favorites! I check on them regularly, based on how often they update. You should, too!
| Achewood | This started out as a strip about what a guy's stuffed animals were up to when he and his wife were out. It gradually became a strip about two cats with stuffed animal friends. Onstad has a gift for dialogue and characterization, and can really set up a joke. I'd start by reading the archive from day 1, to get into it. | Almost daily | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
| A softer world | My friend Jeff compared these to haikus, and he is not completely wrong. A gifted writer and photographer write strips that sometimes seem too beautiful to be funny, but after a second you realize you've just read some really twisted humor. | About twice a week | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
| Perry Bible Fellowship | The art style varies dramatically, depending on the individual strip. The writing is laugh out loud hilarious, and brilliant to the point where you are amazed. | Sundays | (can't link directly) |
| Dinosaur Comics | I've loved em since my friend Redlami told me I should check them out!! Click here for my pictorial review. | Daily | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
| Wondermark | If someone on the internet wrote a strip just to make me happy, it would be this guy. The nineteenth century art that I love, and an evil mind writing the text. | About twice a week | ![]() ![]() |
| xkcd | I wasn't planning on updating this review thingie, but I found this hilarious nerdy joke strip by a NASA Physicist and had to share it with you! | Thrice a week | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I also highly recommend the following! I check in on them periodically.
| Married to the Sea | Similar to Wondermark in feel - this is a single paneled strip, in which old illustrations are given new captions. Often hilariously. | Daily | |
| A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible | Very lush art, and unusual writing. Not laugh out loud funny, but you love to enjoy it. | About twice a month | ![]() |
| Spamusement! | This guy takes the subject lines of his spam and illustrates them. He can't draw well, technically, but his style is perfect for his jokes. | Intermittent | ![]() ![]() |
| User Friendly | There are lots of computer-geek comics out there, for obvious reasons. This one is my favorite. | Daily | ![]() ![]() |
| When I am King | This was a continuing story that is now finished, but there are enough strips that you could look at one a day for a long time, and remain amused. You scroll horizontally and look at some art that is not as simple as it appears, attached to a story that is not as wholesome as it seems. | Never. I lied about checking it periodically |
There are other web comics I've found that I like, but let's leave the list right here, or we will be here forever. If you want a big, annotated list of web comics, here is a good place to go.
