The only two that haven't already been mentioned for me are Hipster Hitler and Finders Keepers. Warning though, HH can be almost as offensive as Illy. Almost.

Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant should be made into a film.
With a good screenwriter, director and an appropriate English rose as Delilah.

Sadly you can only read the first story on the website, the rest is for print.

...DR MCNINJA... varies between sheer brilliant comic mayhem (the Dracula on the Moon storyline) and trying to hard and falling short (the recent space shuttle thing).

I have regretfully come to the conclusion that Dr McNinja has jumped the shark, swam back under it, tickled its shark belly and the jumped it again for good measure. Havne't enjoyed it in ages, haven't been tempted to look at it in months.

It's been pretty brilliant lately. I have to give Abrams kudos for long game plots that somehow hold together in the end.
Propelled by this thread, i have worked my way thru the entire XKCD and OOTS backlog and now they are regular additions to my weekly webcomics. Damn you all.

So you have a virtual TRP as well as one in RL.
There's just no escape.
Is it hot in here? Are the walls closing in?

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Your next assignment, Abyss, is Darths and Droids. I got into that a couple of months ago. Although having said that I need to catch up, I had to break off my archive binge shortly after the OT.
I'm not quite sure why, but I enjoy it way, way more than DM of the Rings which I could never get into. Perhaps because the permissive GM of Darths and Droids is more fun than the grumpy one in DM?

It's worse than that... i have a print, e-book, AND online TRPs.
I should really just quit my job and stay home and read stuff.

There are four I read religiously:
SMBC
xkcd
Cyanide and Happiness
Wondermark
As you can tell from the list, I'm not really into Webcomics with ongoing storylines - I prefer each comic to stand alone (occasionally Wondermark does multi-strip arcs, but it's usually made up for by having one per day instead of two per week). SMBC is by far my favourite, especially some of the back-catalogue (nowadays the style is slightly different and results in a slightly higher dud to awesome ratio). It might fill your need for another Joke of the Day comic, PG.

So, err, I guess XKCD 1190 is a bit of a pain for you then? (http://geekwagon.net...jects/xkcd1190/ for the cheating version.)
In other news, I have about a dozen new tabs of webcomics to check out and potentially read the entire archives of. I'm going to be spending all next week sat here clicking Next.

Gave up on Sinfest after it went full preacher mode. used to enjoy it immensely.
quite like grrrlpowered (there may be another r needed in there) and read it most weeks.
Surprised at the lack of Schlock Mercenary in this thread as well.
Both Schlock and Sluggy benefit (in my opinion) from being left alone for a few months at a time and then binge reading to catch up. In doing so the overarching plot threads become more apparent and you get more of an appreciation for the authors' plans (again, purely imo)

Now even more brilliant than when this thread started. Still Not safe for work or necessarily even public viewing.

I haven't got any new ongoings since the last time this topic was up (and I've more-or-less dropped Goblins since the creator had some kind of issue and updates stopped entirely for a while and are now back up on an irregular, slow schedule, on a site that's not quite working properly, so I'm just going to leave it and have a look back in some months or years when there's actually something to read).
But I did do a binge of the completed Girls with Slingshots recently, and for those who like a slice-of-life comic with an absurdist sense of humour I can recommend it, despite a few too many sex jokes. You have a choice of how to do it: start here for the original version of the comic for a full binge, or here for the currently ongoing re-posting which is slightly recalibrated apparently, and features scrollover text where the early ones didn't have it.
Of course, the best way is probably to start at the new one then go back to where it breaks off and binge to the end on the originals, but I won't link that coz, obviously, it's gonna be a moving target.
Eta: although, looking at it, many of the alt-texts on the new strips are jokey references to how the comic has changed since the first time they went up, so... shrug.
