I don't know if we've done this already, but what other webcomics do you read?

I used to have only one or two listed on my Bookmarks, but now I've got several that I check every day or at least three times a week: Megatokyo, Narbonic, Penny Arcade, PvP, SoI, Sexy Losers, Sluggy Freelance and Wapsi Square. I like the mix, and it's scary how sometimes some contain the same themes.

One that I'm waiting to come back from hiatus is Elf Only Inn. Frickin' hilarious. I wait a month or so and go reread Eversummer Eve from the beginning of the current chapter just to get caught up.

I'm way too lazy to give links.

In no particular order, In addition to SoI, I read:

Sluggy - my first webcomic
Megatokyo - the standard against which others are measured
Real Life Comics
Clan of the Cats - was put on to it here by LKM
Jack - recommended to me by LKM and I stayed for the--experience
Okashini Okashi - Strange Candy
Freefall - Sci-Fi comedy at its finest.
cyantian.net - This woman does a rotating list of titles, not just one comic
Errant Story - I still miss EN and Jordan Kennedy
Sinfest - I am reevaluating Sinfest. I quit it over Tat's gulf-war politicking and the few I've seen since look very creatively shallow.
Sparking Generation Vakyrie Yuukie - Everyone should have a guilty pleasure!
Polymer City Chronicles - My other guilty peasure. Still, if LKM hadn't drawn Andrah at the haloween party two years ago, I might not have found SoI.
Sabrina On-Line once a month
Argon Zark once a season whether it updates or not.

I read a bunch, but since you can find those on my links page I won't bother listing them all. Absolute favorites are Demonology 101, Strings of Fate, Arcana, Venus Envy, and Kagerou. Um, I could probably think of more, but I just walked 2 miles after spending all day drawing today's horrifically giant panels, so my brain's kinda frazzed. : P

Naaaah. Venus Envy may have "odd" subject matter, but I find the characters and writing to be very good. Although most of my favorites are fantasy-oriented, that's just incidental -- what I really go for is good, episodic writing. It just so happens that, so far, most of the really good writing I've found happens to be in "paranormal" comics. :)

I got Strings of Fate off of MT, and the early strips looked good. I just haven't plunged into the archives yet.

After checking out some of the comics people were mentioning, I think I've gotten myself addicted to Strings of Fate. I'm about halfway through the first act of archives. Sheesh, another one to add to my list. I'm not going to get any work done next semester.

...and about 3 hours later, I am completely through the SoF archives...yup, I'm addicted. And it's all your fault. :p

(I'm also now addicted to Venus Envy. Someone help me!)

Since I'm in a statistical mood: 31 of the 60 mentioned above and 118 others.

I'm only going to mention the five that I'm obligated to read regularly, though. :)

Avalon
It's Walky!
Rip & Teri
Tomodachi Forever
The Wings of Change

Lemme see here...these are the ones I'm constantly checking for updates:

This one, obviously
Xenith (No updates since December...urge to kill...rising...)
Queen of Wands
Something Positive
Element's Song
Demonology 101
Schoolbooks & Brimstone (Updates? Shyeah, right)
MNEMISIS
Spork
Elf Only Inn
A God's Life (technically finished, so not really checking for updates, but I like re-reading it)

Aaaaaand attention span going...going...gone...the rest of the list isn't really worth mentioning anyway. Seems like there are a lot more I'd remember right off hand, but maybe it's just all this frickin' livejournals and forums pulling me in, eh?

Addicting, isn't it? I have no idea where I got it from. I suspect it was a day when I was trying out the Keenspot dropdown box in the ads and just happened to pick that one. It reminds me of the good old days of when I first got on the Internet. The gang in the EoI is a pretty solid group and I wonder if Sortelli's going to ever do any plots where they meet in real life. Maybe it would ruin the tone of the thing, however, because the characters are based on stereotypes.

My list is so far short:

SoI - so far my very favorite
Megatokyo - I identify so much with Piro that it's depressing
Mac Hall - My introduction to womics
Deamonology 101 - Very cool and how I found this page
Cascade Failure - What can I say? I'm a programmer
Van Von Hunter - Stupid but funny
Cascadia - I'm into fantasy

Other's I've read but aren't my favorites:
RPG World
Annie the Hardcore Gamer
A Miracle of Science

I'm always looking for stuff to try and I have found that artists that I respect are more likely to recommend something else I'll like, so I'll be browsing LKM's links page for other comics.

Oooh! Bob 'N Ed! Is that back from hiatus? o_O

I didn't realise I read so much until I tried write it down...

Avalon (I'm not complaining about the updates)
CRfH (!)
Errant Story (For Poe)
It's Walky (For the Cliffhanger of Doom(tm))
Sluggy (For The Bug, The Witch and The Robot)
Freefall (For being silly)
Megatokyo (Piro has a style all of his own.)
Experimental Comic Kotone (Authentic style, gifted artist, and beyond cute...)
Sparkling Generation Valkerie Yuuki (Entirely unguilty pleasure, if you think the gender confusion in Ranma is tame!)
Demonology (Everyone says this, but even so, Faith's dark art beats all else)
Return to Sender (The oddest couple. And they're Not An Item)
The Life of Riley (Flax is occasionally right, and this is one of those times)
Dancing for the Stars (Beautiful shojo manga, and almost entirely unheard of)
Zebragirl (Did I mention I love underrated comics?)

I read a bunch - 16 or so - but most of them have already been listed here (including SoI, of course, which is the only one with such an erratic pattern of updates to remain on my regular list). Of the ones that haven't, Bhag can be pretty funny, User Friendly was my first webcomic (and is also quite funny), 8 Bit Theatre is -hilarious-, and I highly recommend El Goonish Shive and Dominic Deegan. The topper, though (and one that seems to be sadly under-represented here), has got to be CRfH!!!
I can also tell that looking over this list will give me far more to read than I have time for. Again.

Actually, I am a crfh!!! boardie, and I recognise a lot of our other posters as coming from #crfh;) In fact, there's a few who I recognise as being here after I and a few others pimped SoI in #crfh ;) Although, not a lot of people in this thread I recognise as crfh-ies. Hrm.

Hee. Bob N'Ed won me over with the 'unholy army of darkness' strip, which I still recall, six months after reading through the archives, screaming with laughter at and eventually printing out. Yeah.

As it turns out, I was referring to this thread in specific rather than the forum in general.

And another one joins the ranks. :twisted:
I'm bogged down in Mac Hall right now, and some of the others (such as Strings of Fate and Demonology 101) are on The Stack. Oh, and TWoC has probably updated since I last checked it (half a year ago). I've also been hearing rumours that Avalon updated - it is said that such things once happened - but I'm skeptical. :P
And is it just me, or is Mac Hall really slow?

That's one that took me a while to get into. I'd popped over there a couple
times from other strips and didn't find it interesting, but then one day
I decided to read the whole archives from the beginning and then I
got into it. Things had to be put in context and perspective, with the
background and character development.
