Some good weird shit there. I sent this one to my partner: https://www.oglaf.com/skin-tight/ (NSFW)

What the fuck

[โ€“] Dougie@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

XKCD

Calvin & Hobbes I guess doesn't count.

[โ€“] Jediotty@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

XKCD for the win

That looks great!

The collaborative open source approach is very interesting too

Always a fan of Slack Wyrm

Pokemon the Previous Generation

Cheif O Brian at work

These are the main ones apart from my crippling xkcd addiction

[โ€“] LiarBesidalAll@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mr Lovenstein has some great shit

And of course xkcd will always have a special place in my heart

I think False Knees has to be it. Beautiful illustrations and heartwarming writing

Edit: One of my favourites from them It's part of a chill 31-part storyline, which I recommend reading from the start

[โ€“] JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ive been following Questionable Content and Grrl Power for years.

Also another +1 for Pepper & Carrot.

[โ€“] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently stopped reading Questionable Content, it just feels like a mockery of what it used to be. I resisted it for a while but eventually I just couldn't take it anymore. I think my breaking point was somewhere around 1015?

[โ€“] JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tend to go in bursts. A week or three of not readimg, then catching up all at once.

Its just one web comic ive really imvested in the characters that is still around. I do still enjoy most of the storylines.

I go back and re-read the older comics a lot. Every once and a while I'll say fuck it and do a full re-read, but that gets harder every day lol. I have attachments to so many of the characters, I've been reading it since freshman year in high school - but even then, that was like 7 years into the comic lmao

I don't have a single favorite one, so here is a top three, in no particular order:

Freefall The first webcomic i read, started in 1998 and still updating three times a week.

El Goonish Shive Another longrunner, started 2002 and still going. Helped me with figuring out some gender stuff.

How to be a werewolf Newest one on the list, starting in 2015, also still going.

[โ€“] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've always admired the Perry Bible Fellowship. Not a lot of new content these days but it's all gold.

[โ€“] Kissaki@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Wow, they really are great!

[โ€“] Gurfaild@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For a long time, it used to be Square Root of Minus Garfield - I actually got my username from there.

Nowadays, it's probably xkcd.

[โ€“] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Florkofcows is great.

[โ€“] mkultramkii@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

PBF and Extra Fabulous are probably my favorites. Strange Planet gets an honorable mention.

Eastcostitnotes, at least lately. Couldn't find a good link, so here's an Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/eastcoastitnotes/

Xkcd is my favorite of all time.

[โ€“] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Recently found litterboxcomics. Works best if you are a parent.

I'm a big fan of the weekly roll (webtoons), a silly fun D&D comic that used to release weekly, now is a bit more sporadic but still good.

Also on the subject of sporadic D&D comics, The Order of the Stick is an extremely long running comic that is very well made and humorous.

Ended now, but Go Get a Roomie is a slice of life LGBTQ+ comic, mildly NSFW, that's fun to read and currently doing a rerun.

And as everyone else has said, XKCD is always a classic.

[โ€“] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Pigeon Gazette

Three Panel Soul, which doesn't update often. The archives have some real gold; I just wish there was a good way to search them.

Twistwood Tales is clever and cute and sometimes really tugs at the heartstrings.

Dustinteractive, which has ended it's run.

OGLAF once in a blue moon when I need a dose of the bizarre.

Also xkcd, SMBC, and Perry Bible Fellowship, of course.

I wanted to answer, but after reading other comments I've learned that there are other kinds of webcomics than Korean (and Chinese ig)

[โ€“] fubo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm boring. Xkcd and Oglaf.

I'm not sure if it counts as a traditional webcomic, but the One Punch Man Webcomic is definitely my favorite.

[โ€“] yelgo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

FlorkofCows. Not the most traditional webcomic, but I love just how off the wall and unpredictable his comics are. Goes from wholesome to hilarious to WTF on a dime.

[โ€“] tallwookie@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I have several, but in addition to some that others have already mentioned, these long-runners are quite good:

I don't have one
