First webcomic you read?

The title is self-explanatory. And if you can, tell us how you found it. I'll start it with 8-bit theater. I found out about when I watched the preloader to this animation and clicked the link at the bottom. I've been reading it ever since.

I think it was either 8-Bit Theater or RPG World. That was long ago.

I still read 8-Bit Theater. I can't say the same for most webcomics I used to read.

Hmm... I think it was Beaver and Steve. Found it through a forum sig.

Depends what you count. The first webcomic I read online was "Kevin & Kell," which was, I think, the only webcomic linked from washingtonpost.com at the time. But before that, I had seen "SinFest" and "Bob the Angry Flower" on dorm room doors, the latter probably first.

8-bit theater. This was when my family had finally got a shiny new G3 IMac (It's in our garage, broken now, don't worry. :-P ) and my older brother was discovering the internet. I followed him of course, and went to any sites that he did. I wish that I could say that I had found Ozy and Millie first, but he found that later.

I think it might well be O&M. Or Kevin & Kell. But I liked O&M more.

O&M is the first one I consistently read, but I know I read some webcomics off and on beforehand. Which ones they were, though, I cannot remember.

I believe for me it was Bob and George, which has as of recently (like, autumn of last year) ended.

Irregular Webcomic! cuz I used to be into Legos. Before that, it had never occurred to me that comics could be on the web. I have now read literally tens of thousands of updates. I was led to O&M by Freefall, I believe.

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

8 bit theatre, this was back in high school, though (Grade 10). VGCats followed a year later, but my readings didn't really start to broaden until first year uni (when I actually found out about furry).

I first read about Captain Snes many years ago. Many years is also the lengthing of time it takes for the guy to put up a new comic.
