Spinnerette has been consistently amusing. Uwe Boll's "Oregon Trail".

Way to kill the DL, jerkface.

You just lack the ability to appreciate Uwe Boll's artistic vision, you troglodyte.

As mentioned at Contenders, Order of the Stick has gotten good again:

And Seven Extraordinary Things ended its run. Good stuff, check it out. Looking forward to his next project.

EDIT: Next project is go. www.douglefler.com

Long-running series about girls, dating, and lots of alcohol. It's like if mc and Zenny teamed up to make a webcomic.

I can't remember if anybody but Tai and myself were fans of minus when it was running, but it's a gorgeous, whimsical, and sadly-concluded webcomic...that's now available in expensive-but-worth-it book form.

Obliged to mention some of the more glaring omissions from this thread.

Templar, AZ -- Starts good, remains good.

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage -- What it sounds like.

Band Vs. Band -- Good art and lots of band fights interspersed with crucial, sobering messages about environmental responsibility.

there ought to be more of this in the world.

This is Battlepug. It is about what would happen if Conan the Barbarian grew up in Candyland.

Homestuck's End of Act 5 was posted. Within minutes, it crashed Newgrounds. Now it's available for download.

So, you know. That's a thing.

I think it may have been the DL that first turned me on to MSPaint Adventures toward the end of Problem Sleuth's run, in which case, all of the gratitude, all of it. I feel increasingly confident in calling Homestuck my all-time favorite piece of media, although it hasn't given me quite the "nothing will ever be the same again" feeling Final Fantasy 6 did.

Rather good sci-fi comic featuring a giant Tom Baker.

A pretty well-told story of a world where only one guy sleeps, and occasionally has shark-dogs thrown at his face. Written by the author of College Roomies From Hell, but with a new artist.

People enter fairy-tale worlds. Stuff happens.

Some of the artwork is stunning, particularly the issue covers.

A representative sampling. I love the facial expressions. (Check out the look on Jesus' face in the last panel of the third one.)

Guilded Age

Standard D&D/WoW party stuff, with good characters. And then there's a big twist.

Wizard School

Harry Potter gets replaced with Rob. I award this comic many, many points.

Bumping this so I can find it.

Warning, yaoi: The Young Protectors

Young superhero falls for UOM supervillain. Nice production values on this for a webcomic.

Despite the name it is not an uber-feminist manifesto. It's actually a very well-written deconstruction of the super hero genre.

Some really good art. The plot is some totalitarian state stuff that I don't dig. But the art is good enough to make me follow it.

Niu is disappointed when he found out this not BL. But it still has two men living under the same roof, so Niu won't complain.

The Duck · « **Reply #95 on:** January 05, 2015, 02:18:28 PM »

Bumping this up and I'm also requesting anything new and worthwhile. I haven't read a new webcomic in 5 years and I'm still reading the ones that have been mentioned in this thread that I like. I'm looking for something to read while I'm doing something tedious at work and preferably it'd be funny without being overly verbose.

For reference, my favorites have been perrybiblefellowship, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Hark a Vagrant, Dinosaur Comics, and Married to the Sea.

Excal · « **Reply #96 on:** January 05, 2015, 09:51:24 PM »

Hmm, I should probably drop a couple on here that I picked up recently. But am too lazy to get links.

As for the question posed by the Duck. I have to ask, have you tried Scenes From a Multiverse? Seems like it's in your wheelhouse. It's by the guy who did Goats, but every day cuts to a new multiverse with a single comic with a decent joke and is occasionally kinda deep at the same time.

Yeah, I remember Strags recommending asofterworld back in the day. Good stuff.
