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

XKCD

Calvin & Hobbes I guess doesn't count.

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

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

[โ€“] a_random_fox@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

Florkofcows is great.

[โ€“] kynoptic@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Achewood, recently relaunched on Patreon.

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

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

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€“] 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 any more, but the archives have some real gold.

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'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€“] NeonPayload@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 3 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€“] tallwookie@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] fubo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm boring. Xkcd and Oglaf.

[โ€“] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[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€“] underisk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

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

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.

I don't have one
