Webcomics! The Good Kind!
Here are some of mine:
That's all I can think of for now. What are some of your favorite webcomics, guys?
- Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name! - A guy named Hanna teams up with an amnesiac zombie to investigate and fight the creatures of the dark! It's pretty new, but it's getting pretty popular.
- Gunshow - A comic not for kids! Just random humor strips by K.C. Green. "The Anime Club" strips are a must, especially if you're into anime.
- Horribleville - By the same guy, only it's ended! It's an semi-autobiographical account of K.C. Green's daily life and his struggles with being an artist. It's a lot funnier and a lot less pretentious than it sounds, I swear. Also, if you've ever seen 'Dickbutt', this is where it comes from.
- A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible - On hiatus, but still amazing. Just a bunch of one-shot surreal comics about various things, like a man who's granted a wish every time he wants to commit suicide, and finding the meaning of existence from a yeti in the mountains. By the way, the artist of the comic did pretty much all the art for Braid, so if you liked the graphics of that game, this is definitely worth a look.
- Awkward Zombie - Pretty much the only 'girl gamer' comic I can stand! Not much to say, other than it's pretty funny and sometimes actually kind of adorable.
- Gunnerkrigg Court - A girl moves to a school that combines science with magic, and encounters lonely robots and mythic legends. Kind of hard to explain in brief, but if Neil Gaiman likes it, so should you!
- Penny Arcade - Dude, it's Penny Arcade. What else is there to say about it?

Be sure to start from the top if you decide to try it. Very much story-driven.
Thanks for that! Just finished reading it all.
The Gods of Arr-Kelaan hasn't been mentioned yet (or I missed it). About regular humans (and some other races) who land in another world and get Godly powers, becoming a DnD-style pantheon.
To give you an idea the main character, Ronson, is the God og alcohol and apathy.
Sorcery 101 A comic with magic, sorcery, were wolfs, and vampires- If you like Hanna's Not a Boy's Name, then this is well worth the read.
The Dreamer Kinda girly, but really interesting. Basically about a girl who, when she dreams, is in the time period of America fighting for independence and it's a reality...hard to explain and give it justice, but go ahead and read if you want.
GG-Guys A gamer comic, very funny...may not be Penny Arcade of VGCats like, but very funny.
That Dr. McNinja has yet to be mentioned is a crime against humanity. He is a doctor that is also(and, oddly predominantly) a Ninja.
In the "dead comics whose archives should be read by everyone" category, we have Perry Bible Fellowship. AWESOME stuff there.
Also recently mentioned in this forum: Axe Cop. The comic written by a five year-old!
Dinosaur Comics consistently gets me to smile. I understand that it goes ahead and shamelessly stomps on everything that makes comics good, and there's absolutely no reason Dinosaur Comics should exist as sequential art. But I still laugh, so I read it.
I read Penny Arcade and Ctrl Alt Del more out of habit than actual entertainment, the strips stopped amusing me long ago(though Penny Arcade sometimes manages a chuckle). I continue to enjoy Tycho's news posts more than the actual comic on a very consistent basis.
Amazing Superpowers can be hilarious.
Kukuburi - fantasy comic, also with great art
Zebra Girl - fun with demons (among other things) and great black & white art
Wapsi Square - slice of supernatural life comedy
Subnormality! - walls of text vs. great art
Girls With Slingshots - slice of life comedy
Bear Nuts - the Care Bears gone very bad
Girl Genius - should be required reading anyway
Nobody Scores! - totally random, but awesome
Sequential Art
Sinfest
The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats
Freefall
Spinerette
Flaky Pastry
Odd Fish
Bob The Angry Flower
Red Meat
Savage Chickens
np: Autechre - Hub (Chiastic Slide)
The Great Outdoor Fight story arc is legendary in its awesomeness.
Started out with simple Kirby gags, and became (even more) awesome.
I also read others, but this is the only one that hasn't been posted yet.
This one just started last week, but I'm familiar with the writer/artist's work from DeviantART, her gallery cracks me up every time I look at it. Especially this.
I also like to read The Meek, FreakAngels, The Zombie Hunters and Evil Diva. and just FYI but all of these except for Evil Diva are a little NSFW in some places due to gore/nudity.
They've already been mentioned, but I love Hanna is Not a Boy's Name! and Gunnerkrigg Court, too.

One or two are missing. I'll post them if I find them later on.
DISCLAIMER 1: Some of these might be NSFW or include swearing/adult themes. I say "might" because I genuinely can't remember.
DISCLAIMER 2: Some Most of these might be are unfunny
DISCLAIMER 3: This doesn't count as shameless self-promotion... this is the first time I've posted them anywhere outside of the small community I shared them with when I made them
DISCLAIMER 4: It is shameless self-promotion. Sorry.
The Abominable Charles Christopher
Anders Loves Maria (ended)
Awkward Zombie
Bobwhite
Boxer Hockey
The Comic Adventures of Left & Right
Ctrl Alt Del (I don't actually seriously read the comic, but my bookmark links to a Somethingawful thread on the BSS forum that discusses each comic and makes [often] hilarious edits of them. I guess it depends on what you think of the original to see which you'd like better.)
Dawn of Time
Dead Winter
Dresden Codak
Dinosaur Comics
Dominic Durgan (A superior parody of the bad Dominic Deegan comic.)
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
Fanboys (probably on a neverending hiatus and apparently if it ever comes back it's going to end at the current story arc)
Gastrophobia
Girls with Slingshots
Girly
Gunnerkrigg Court
Gunshow (Most of K.C.'s works are great really.)
Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name
Hark! A Vagrant
Hiimdaisy's Comics
The Interprid Girlbot
Jerkcity (tries its very hardest to be offensive in every way, watch out!)
KinokoFry
KIWIS BY BEAT! (has a current and some ended comics)
Lackadaisy (updates very, very slowly but for that kind of art, it's forgivable)
MSPaint Adventures (Might not be considered a webcomic since it works in an unique mock-adventure-game type of way, but still has a similar way of working as a webcomic, and it's too awesome to not mention anyway)
Octopus Pie
Oglaf (VERY 18+)
Penny Arcade (I actually find most of the strips blah but when they churn out good ones they get GOOD)
The Perry Bible Fellowship (dead I suppose, but forever awesome)
Pictures For Sad Children
Purple Pussy (ended, and about a CAT, I swear! Still violent and often offensive though)
Questionable Content
Raymondo Person (on hiatus)
Rice Boy and Order of Tales
RPGWorld (Long dead to the point of nostalgia for me but always a fun read. Check out the artist's doubly awesome current work on Nockforce)
Sam and Fuzzy
Scary Go Round
Sexy Losers (18+++++++++++++++ Better make it 50+ just in case)
Something Positive
Tiny Kitten Teeth
Wondermark
Hmm, I have those in a different folder, so I'd forgotten them. Here's four of my favorite comics ever, which have completed their run:
Mac Hall - predecessor to Three Panel Soul
Bob and George - ended after I started but before I finished reading the archive
Inverloch - predecessor to The Phoenix Requiem
Grim Tales from Down Below - pure awesome
And in the realm of comics not yet started, here's a shameless self-promotion for the three completed strips of mine!

apenaap reads it too, I think I saw him post a comment once.

Those are the only two I check on a regular basis, Oh and I forgot Ctrl+Alt+Del.
I like to think of it like a treasure hunt, if it updates I'm happy, if super effective Updates I'm even happier.
But yeah, I know what you mean.
Here's something fun: there's comics that update even less often that I still check semi-regularly.
This pretty much sums it up for me. Or maybe it's just desperation. I've been reading some pretty damn good comics that are on hold right now, and it's sort of depressing. Even more so for the ones that eventually went offline while they were on hold and never came back.
For example: Abstract Gender. The comic had a curse on it; it could never hold on to an artist. It went on hiatus after the fourth one left, and eventually the site crashed. Unfortunately, the author did not have a backup of the comics, so the only way the comic's archives can be salvaged is if the four artists still have their strips saved somewhere.

Ha! I loved those! Do you still make them?
I often find myself checking Mojo and TalesofMI.net in this way. I check lots of websites way too regularly considering the rate at which the actually update.
Nah, I've not made any in a while. Glad you liked them, though
Edit: There's one or two that I didn't post but can't find. Here's the only other one I can find: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9505/37supervisor.png
And i have this other web comic I made when i played FLYFF called "Viva la Ladillita" didnt do more than 9 pages as i started and soon after i stopped playing the game.

That's about it... links should speak for themselves what the title of the comic is
A friend of mine started a webcomic series a few years ago to showcase why he doesn't like webcomics. If you like biting sarcasm and weird humor and inside jokes you can't get then this is your comic.
How could I forget Concerned? I still quote that comic (leading to many confused faces).
It's very old and was done in paint. The characters are members from a chatroom I used to go to, with me and my husband (boyfriend at the time) as main characters. I'm telling you that because their behaviour is consistent with how they behaved in the chatroom. I did not make Tai up. He WAS like that. I need to be clear on at least that point
But I don't think you need to know the people to read and laugh at how embarrassingly terrible it is.
(The first one is a bit hard to read, sorry)
