In response to this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29257) as well as the other media threads, I'm curious about everyone's favorite webcomics.

To start, I suggest The Norm (www.thenorm.com), by Michael Jantze. I've mentioned him before...I was originally introduced to the comic from another FIRSTer. From what I remember he is in newspaper circulation in the Northwest US, but co-publishes his comics on the web. (Psst....If you dig back enough, you'll find out the cartoonist & the main character are Mac junkies, for all you Mac fans out there).

I'll post more once I get back from work, because all my links are in my favorites at the dorm....

(warning: highly repetitive from the other thread)

I'm a big fan of UZC (www.geocities.com/kyattsuai7). Basically, one of the dudes on one of the web sites (www.pokemonzeo.com) I go to created a comic containing folks from the forums.

Except they're animals.

Sometimes there are some inside jokes in the comic, but overall it's still pretty darn funny without prior knowledge.

I very much enjoy User Friendly (http://www.userfriendly.org) and Schlock Mercenary (http://www.schlockmercenary.com)... Fun stuff.

So I did say I'd post more once I got back to the dorm...

First, the ones I used to read in the paper....all of these are from Comics.com (www.comics.com).
9 Chickweed Lane
For Better or For Worse
Jump Start
Rose is Rose
One Big Happy

And then you have your true webcomics...be forewarned, not all are PG all the time.

College Roomies from H-ll!!! (http://www.crfh.net/) - My absolute favorite serial webcomic out there. Doesn't make much sense (at all, sometimes), but Martiza Campos is an amazing storyteller. If I'm awake around 1am, I will usually wait until 2 am for her to post the new one, it's that good.

Sinfest (http://www.sinfest.net/) - Although the name throws the new reader off, Tatsuya Ishida continually puts out some of the wittiest stuff online. Although every cartoonist has an off-day, it's rare for Sinfest to be anything but stellar.

I'm not a big fan of comics myself, but I do enjoy some Calvin and Hobbes and of course, everyone's favorite comic engineer, Dilbert.

There was another one, but I'll have to get it from my friend Jamie.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned some of the best webcomics ever made:

The Rogues Gallery
Ruins of the Fourth Wall
Dinosaur Comics (qwantz.com)
Get Blue Spheres

You may also want to go to fireball20xl.com.

One of my favs:
Questionable Content (http://www.questionablecontent.net )
Don't let the name fool you, it has very little actually questionable content

Amanda Morrison

I agree. Questionable Content is certainly a great comic.

I also read Medium Large, Penny Arcade, San Antonio Rock City (by the same guy who does the Coffee Achievers and Nothing Nice To Say, which are both now defunct but I used to read them, too), VG Cats, Perry Bible Fellowship, and Diesel Sweeties.

I highly recommend Medium Large. It's done by Francesco Marculiano, of Sally Forth fame, and deals with a lot of pop culture... just great stuff.
