Threadless bloggers' favorite webcomics

I figure that with such a huge population of artists, there must be at least a few other folks here who read webcomics. What are some of your favorites? And does anyone here draw a webcomic?

Some of my likes:

Questionable Content
TracerBullet's Pintsize avatar is what made me think to post a blog about this in the first place. Both the art and the humor in this one have become great since it started, and I'm really impressed by it. I would SO visit Coffee of Doom.

Wapsi Square
I can't help but love the style he draws in and the fact that me makes a point of featuring different body types and lifestyles. And anything that features the Aztec god of alcohol can't be bad!

The Devil's Panties
No, it's not porn! It's hilarious and, so far as I can tell, a pretty good glimpse into the artist's life. I really like her style. She also posts non-cartoon art every week or two, which is nice.

Dr. McNinja
Okay, considering the popularity of ninjas and pirates here to the point that they were excluded from Threadless Loves Threadless, I think it's very worth it to post this link. The two factions have an awesome battle in one of the storylines.

Sequential Art
I can't believe I forgot this one the first time around! Comic #1 is actually my desktop wallpaper. Normally I'm not into comics featuring anthropomorphic animals, but this is love.

Now, your turn. Favorites?

The longer list, added as you name 'em:

Teen Girl Squad
Sluggy Freelance
Toothpaste For Dinner
Married to the Sea
Sigh Whatever

The Ninja one is neat. I'll be checking this blog out later; when I actually have the attention span to read it all. :)

iPear on Jul 16 '06 at 12:56am

teengirl squad used to be awesome.

I really wanna make a webcomic but I'm kind of really lazy.

Larlar on Jul 16 '06 at 12:57am

Sluggy Freelance

There are literally thousands of "issues" here, and it'll take a lot of time to get through it all, but the story gets so awe-inspiringly complex while maintaining a nice level of humor. This is a webcomic at the top of Internet quality.

tracerbullet on Jul 16 '06 at 12:59am

Hell yeah, QC!!

I read that, Toothpaste For Dinner and Married To The Sea every day.

iPear on Jul 16 '06 at 1:00am

iPear on Jul 16 '06 at 1:00am

tracerbullet on Jul 16 '06 at 1:00am

Damn...I can't read the Hebrew in your profile without vowels. I suck.

Stevethegreat on Jul 16 '06 at 1:01am

sigh whatever

Larlar on Jul 16 '06 at 1:02am

Jerkcity

You will definitely either extremely love this or extremely hate it.

parabolic on Jul 16 '06 at 1:03am

It says, "I can also speak a little Hebrew", but I don't think I can add vowels to it. Yarr!

tracerbullet on Jul 16 '06 at 1:06am

Ooh how crafty! I never cared enough to learn Hebrew without vowels :-p

Larlar on Jul 16 '06 at 1:05pm

Listen to banana. PBF and White Ninja are hilarious.

EntertheForce on Jul 16 '06 at 1:09pm

I love it, and I don't even have Half-Life. Chris Livingston is very funny.

I also like http://scribs.us/

Achewood

Quag on Jul 16 '06 at 1:26pm

Elephantitis of the Mind

SmallRabbit on Jul 16 '06 at 1:30pm

I forgot about Achewood - they have excellent t-shirts too. I bought the Bunnyambulance the day before I discovered Threadless.

ntopp on Jul 16 '06 at 2:06pm

Chris Onstadt is Great Outdoor Fight material. The dude is merciless.

ntopp on Jul 16 '06 at 2:08pm

In fact, I'm not safe now that I added an extra "t" to his surname.

lookpolish on Jul 16 '06 at 2:12pm

Yeah, the dude has got no mercy.

parabolic on Jul 17 '06 at 10:01am

Good morning bump. :) Any more comics to read while waiting for the new shirts?

mindtrance on Jul 17 '06 at 10:01am

wtf where is penny-arcade.com?

EntertheForce on Jul 17 '06 at 4:03pm

megatokyo use to be good & funny. now it's just boring

catdogpigduck on Jul 17 '06 at 4:10pm

www.scarybear.org

catdogpigduck on Jul 17 '06 at 4:11pm

DO IT

tracerbullet on Jul 18 '06 at 12:04am

HAHA OH MAN!! Did you see today's QC? It totally cracked me up.

Darkie on Jul 18 '06 at 12:06am

This one is done by one of the people in the top STP list here on Threadless (from linking through one or two of his blogs).

CAD Comics

parabolic on Jul 18 '06 at 10:26am

Hell yeah! Comic #666 for the win!

tracerbullet on Jul 18 '06 at 10:29am

Woot!

stubbythumbs on Jul 18 '06 at 10:46am

dinosaur comics!
http://qwantz.com/
its my fav by far.

I also like dieselsweeties and joe loves crappy movies

pyr4lis on Jul 18 '06 at 11:13am

I'm surprised no one's mentioned www.megatokyo.com yet. Especially with their ties to AppleGeeks.

As a side note it is thanks to Ananth, the writer of AppleGeeks, that I even found Threadless. He's mentioned it a couple of times in his blog and I finally decided to come take a look. And now I'm hooked. ;)

kayceislost on Jul 18 '06 at 11:15am

My favorite :

Something Positive !!!

tracerbullet on Jul 18 '06 at 11:20am

Heh, I think I see why you'd like that one, Kayce

spacesick on Jul 18 '06 at 11:21am

penny arcade is the best. what the deuce?

kayceislost on Jul 18 '06 at 11:29am

parabolic on Jul 18 '06 at 12:02pm

S*P! Man, it's been awhile since I've read that one. I remember liking it a lot.

kayceislost on Jul 18 '06 at 12:05pm

yesss! its great. i havent been keeping up with it as much lately, but i like reading them all at once... haha.

agent99 on Jul 18 '06 at 12:49pm

I like Dinosaur Comics too. I forgot all about scarybear!

My all-time favorite is Copper. Although it's rarely updated, it is beautifully drawn and interesting.

I like Spamusement too, although sometimes it's hit-or-miss.

Rachel Raygun on Jul 18 '06 at 1:10pm

dont think anybody has mentioned Red Meat....

Orneryboy is a cute one...and I like Butternutsquash.

spacesick on Jul 18 '06 at 1:10pm
