Hey, Kids--Comics!
Anybody who likes comics ought to take a look at Wigu, about a young boy and a poisonous talking potato and Scary-Go-Round, which features a delightfully twisted take on any horror movie convention you can think of.
Then, for my fellow geeks, there's PvP Online and the venerable Pathetic Geek Stories. And for my fellow Jewish Geeks, there's Shabot 6000, which may be the world's only comic about an Orthodox Jewish robot. What are your favorite webcomics?
-
"I am Ashkenazi!" "But last week you said you were Sephardic." "Well, last week was Pesach." ...I think I'm not quite target audience for Shabot. My favourites include Men in Hats, White Ninja Comics and Questionable Content.
-
You will know when you are reading Achewood because life will be awesome. There was a story in Bible Stories for Adults about an orthodox robot which was quite good. Not quite a comment, but it springs forth in the mind when you say orthodox jewish robot.
-
Wigu is a bit wordy, but that Sheriff Pony is pretty cool. Monkeyfilter: The chiggers in my shorts are industrializin'.
-
(Whoops, forgot to list my favorites: Slow Wave and Cat and Girl.)
-
shinything : I see you.
-
Sluggy Freelance, Adventurers, Antihero for Hire, Penny Arcade, Mac Hall, Nodwick, Full Frontal Nerdity, Megatokyo, and Nukees. Plus some of the stuff other people have mentioned. Mac Hall may not be working right now, but it'll be back up later.
-
My favs - which I think have both been pimped on MeFi - are: diesel sweeties and exploding dog
-
I'm a fan of Instant Classic, Something Positive, and Radioactive Panda.
-
Cat and girl. It delves into post-liberal arts college existential angst--probably not everyone's idea of entertainment, but it does have some amusing moments. Like this one. Or this one.
-
Oh hell, why do I now notice shinything already posted Cat and Girl? Sorry about that. Move along, nothing to see here.
-
I love Wigu with a burning passion, but Sinfest rocks oh SO hard.
-
Elftor is pretty good too.
-
This discussion brought out many good comics, and not just because I listed a bunch ;)

Everyone should also check out stuff by Scott McCloud, and artblog.
