Ok, this is a thread for people to post other webcomics they read besides O+M. In a sort of share-and-share-alike hippy way :wag:

Ok, I read...too many comic, but here are the ones I think you should check out right now:

Schrodinger is a comic about a cat that bites through a TV cable and becomes intelligent and able to speak. Very funny.

Rasvaar, a comic about a young Australian fox that decides it's better for him to hitch-hike away from home rather than let his parents find out he's gay. With a premise like that, it is amazing that it's bloody funny as hell.

Wally And Osborne...a cute strip about a polar bear that moves to the south, and hangs around with Osborne, a sarcastic penguin. Very funny, and cute.


Adlib is a very witty comic from the UK, that I have NO idea how I found. Anyways, it's really good.

I have more that I want people to look at, so I'll post again later. Let's see what you people got in your favourite's folders! :D

My bookmarks toolbar:

8-Bit Theatre - It's Final Fantasy I, the comic! Except you can't choose your own characters. ;( The characters in the game are generic types, so it's really neat to see them infused with such wacky and fun personalities in this strip.

Concerned - One of many comics made using Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2, except this one is good. This strip answers the burning question in every HL fan's mind: Who DID write that letter to Doctor Breen that he reads over the train station monitors?!?! Sadly this strip has ended, but it's a good read. It's best to have played Half-Life 2 the whole way through to fully enjoy this strip... also there are HL2 spoilers.

Ctrl+Alt+Del - You should know this one. If not, go read. It's about two gamer housemates (I got that word from the Brits!), one of whom is in touch with the world, the other who wouldn't leave the house if he had a choice.

Dilbert - From your local newspaper. Some of the things I've seen here mirror reality scarily. I imagine it will only get more accurate when I get a job in the computer industry.

Dominic Deegan - This story follows a man with the power to "see" things beyond the ordinary, which he uses to help people and battle evil.

Freefall - DCS has said he likes this comic. It's a sci-fi comic, set in a future where humans are terraforming other worlds and using "sleeper ships" (sci-fi term for ships using cryogenics to keep the occupants in stasis for the entire journey). Throw in robots and a genetically engineered wolf/human hybrid for some fun.

Garfield - Yay. D:

Homestar Runner - This links to the unofficial Homestar Runner Wiki, which I find useful for keeping up with updates on the site. The site itself is a collection of animated flash cartoons.

Inherit the Earth - A comic based off of an old DOS adventure game. It's set in a distant future where humans figured out how to give animals sentience... however eventually all the humans disappeared, possibly destroyed by disease, leaving the anthropomorphic animals (who call themselves Morphs) to rebuild a civilization for themselves from scratch.

MegaTokyo - A comic about Japanese culture and two Americans stuck in it, made by two guys from Minnesota or something. Whee.

Mynarski Forest - I forget how I found this one. It's weird. Starring a fox and a rabbit in a forest.

Newshounds - Modern-day setting, except animals can talk. One woman decides to spend an inheritance to start a news station staffed entirely by animals she befriended at her old job, the city pound. The story ended recently. :(

One Question - There's this dragon thing that can answer one question or something if you catch it or find it or whatever. There's bad guys who want to catch it, oh nos! ... Yeah.

Penny Arcade - A comic by gamers, for gamers. Less continuity than many comics and more anti-gamer (ex Jack Thompson) bashing.

VG Cats - Weirdest comic I have in here. Sometimes it's not even that funny... but sometimes it is. :)

Just a few off the top of my head...

Comedity - a little surrealistic, a little random, but fun. Just don't step on the penguin.

Lackadaisy - smuggling coffin varnish in the time of the Prohibition. Sort of historically accurate, but it's still just fiction.

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja - that's not just his name, he really is a ninja! And a doctor. At the same time.

Codename: Hunter - what if there was such a thing as magic, and people just didn't realize it?

xkcd - random nerdy humor
Rainy Day Donuts

Lessee, can I remember them all? I recently added to my list. "NEW! indicates one I just started reading in the past few weeks.

Dandy and Company - Looks like a typical kid-and-his-dog comic at first glance, but usually veers off into wild fantasy and Melonpool-esque sci-fi.

Tails from the Mynarski Forest - The bizarre misadventures of a sociopathic vixen and her unwitting, jittery rabbit denmate. Slightly twisted humor.

NEW! Small Wonder - Clearly another comic inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, a newcomer about some suburban kids. Already running in a few papers, I hear.

NEW! Jack - Thank/blame GhostWay for getting me into this one. A modern-day Dante-esque graphic novel (as in graphic sex, graphic violence, etc.) whose theme is more of a "make you stop and think" than an attempt to describe anyone's actual views of the hereafter. Not for the faint-of-heart or the browsing-at-work.

Something Happens - The Far Side in multi-panel form is the closest I can come to describing this one, but it's a poor description. You really just have to see it for yourself. From the creator of Newshounds.

NEW! Schrödinger - See Rooster's description above. Found it last night when he linked to it in the chatroom. Haven't finished but it looks good so far.

NEW! Yonder (No link because there's no easy archive anywhere. I'm planning to make an archive site. Ask FanaticFox or me for a Zip file of the series.) - Centers on a coyote eking out a living in the desert. Also haven't finished yet. Fairly similar to Mynarski Forest.

EDIT: Almost forgot VG Cats: Parodies of video games, starring two cats with attitude. Also prone to occasional bouts of randomness. Winner of, like, four Webcartoonist's Choice awards this year.

mmm, I don't want to list all the ones in my folder T_T but they're good and I'd like to share. All of the comics I started reading after I began reading OM steadily came from you guys, and they should return to the newbies. yes, like a hippy circle.
pants jesus
DCS should've ended the comic a year or two ago.

I'm not going to link them, anyone interested can search for them if they want.

Jack, Gene Catlow, Irregular Webcomic, Cat and Girl, Perry Bible Fellowship, Lackadaisy and Parry and Carney.

Sometimes I check out Wondermark, Something Happens and A Softer World, but not regularly.

It seems the only one I read that hasn't been said so far is Beaver and Steve.

CodeCat, your reading list coincides with mine more closely than the others do. I read only a handful of comics that aren't on that list, and those are mainly ones I could take or leave. And those that you read and I don't are ones that I've seen from time to time without getting hooked, but neither was I really turned off.

That "Ozy and Millie" one is pretty good, I heard, though I've never actually read it.

The comics I read these days is

Dume - http://www.otterdude.com/ - I mostly like it for the art

Bob The Squirrel - http://www.bobthesquirrel.com/ - Another artistically pleasing comic strip check it out hehe

Albion Fuzz - http://bohemials.free.fr/ - This was probably the comic I loved the most art style and story. I love people that can make humour out of sad situations. Doesn't update anymore.

I was sad to find Yonder when I did which was like 1 or 2 weeks ago. It really strangely parallels with my humour, art style, and charisma I like to see in cartoon characters. Since its so much like my own ideas I consider the comic perfect hehe.

Don't forget to read Liberty Meadows, Get Fuzzy, and Pearls before Swine. There is free month long archives out there hehe.

Also you should buy this bookHere
