- Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. This comic mixes crazy humor, Victorian design, magic and science and incredible action all into one totally absorbing experience. Agatha Heterodyne is a spark and a genius, and also a bit of an airhead. One day she finds herself right smack in the path of Baron Wulfenbach, and from that point on, all hell breaks loose. Oh, and there's a talking kitty, too.
- Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques.
One of my favorite-ever web comics. Marten is just your typical indie-rock kinda guy, with a sharp sense of humor, an
emotionally troubled female roommate named Faye and a smart-ass AnthroPC named Pintsize whose weakness is cake mix. This is
a very funny comic with a good story to go with it.
- Ctrl+Alt+Del by Tim Buckley. Any fan of video games should get a
big kick out of this one. This comic chronicles the ongoing misadventures of a doofus named Ethan, his saner roommate Lucas
and Ethan's fiancee Lilah alongside humorous commentary of the things that go on in the video gaming world, both significant
and trivial.
- Lackadaisy by Tracy J Butler. Set in St. Louis, Missouri during the
Prohibition Era, this beautifully drawn sepia-toned comic follows the hard times of the Lackadaisy speakeasy following the death of its
founder, Atlas May. Much of the action centers around a bumbling musician-turned-runner named Rocky, whose luck seems to make
up for his lack of common sense. The roaring twenties are the cat's meow.
- Homestar Runner by Michael and Matthew Chapman (the Brothers Chaps).
Not a web comic really, but a flash animation series with an oddball sense of humor and an even more oddball cast of characters.
Besides the dim-witted Homestar himself, there's the good-natured Marzipan, the gloomy Strong Sad, the non-sequitur-spouting
Homsar and the antagonistic Strong Bad, who answers the web site's e-mail. And that's just for starters. Powered by The Cheat.
- Neurotically Yours by Jonathan Ian Mathers. Another flash animation
series, this one focusing on the not-so-peaceful life of a Wiccan named Germaine and her foul-mouthed, hot-tempered squirrel friend,
Foamy. Foamy is filled with "squirrely wrath" and rants about a number of different things whether anyone wishes to hear his
opinion or not. I personally enjoy listening to his anger-ridden songs.
COMICS THAT ARE ACTUALLY DEFUNCT, BUT I STILL LIKE 'EM
- Ghastly's Ghastly Comic by Ghastly. What do you get when you bring together
two tentacle monsters, a thirty-something chibi, a woman who loves tentacle rape and a towering, mild-mannered bartender? You
get one hilarious comic that is worth reading over and over again. I could gush all day about how great this comic is, but
why take my word for it? Check it out!
- Chainsaw Comics by Various Artists. This site contains a vast archive of comics by many different artists. I list it mainly because it includes comics by Bren Collins, who unfortunately is no longer posting there, but I highly recommend his work. You'll see why when you read it.
