I should probably get around to adding tang and sexy losers.

xkcd is the only one where i'm on the forum and went to the meetup. I only recently added QC to that list - I probably found it via websnark. I've liked it for awhile but it only recently became a has it updated yet kinda read.

my own comic is at http://www.stripcreator.com/comics/arbi/ . it's not so much a comic in that there's no orginal art and there are no or few jokes - it's usually just me making some notes to myself about did i get my laundry done, or playing off other people's comic at www.stripcreator.com - which is this really cool easy to use automated comic generator thingy.
i first heard about it at www.tehsoapbox.net which  was wil wheaton's forum and is now sort of its own thing.

i checked this thread to see if i could find a new webcomic or two - i'm an internet addict- and there were a few leads.

update: i just spent two solid days reading better days. furries. yiffy twincestual ones, in the south, in the 80s, with plots and character development and stuph.

Calaveth:
By now, every web comic I read has been mentioned at least twice, I believe.

My favorites are in no particular order QC, Something Positive, Looking For Group, Least I Could Do, Errant Story, and Order of the Stick. Errant Story is probably the only web comic I follow primarily because of it's story - it's nice to see the story progress in other web comics too, but more than any other web comic I follow it feels like it has a script. It doesn't wander aimlessly. Looking For Group is hilarious. The recognition factor for anyone who has played MMO's like World of Warcraft or Everquest should be sky high.

Others I read are PvPOnline, Penny Arcade, Sluggy Freelance, Wapsi Square, Sinfest, Shortpacked and Megatokyo.

Sexy Losers is/was fantastically funny and supremely unsuitable for reading at work. Shame it doesn't update any more. It's Walky was also a favorite before it turned into Joyce & Walky, which is lame.

My favourites are QC, Xkcd and Cyanide & Happines. I couldn't tell which one I like the most, since those three have got different styles.

In which Will details just what makes Riceboy amazing.

First of all it has a freshness of imagination and imagery that is almost unmatched among long-form story-heavy not-so-funny comics.  Not only is the art quite distinctive, but the entire world is so fresh in its sheer weirdness that it's always a delight to see what's coming next.  The oddness of the world's logic may make me want to talk about magical realism or surrealism or whatever, but in the end there's a wonderful dream-like quality that makes everything cohere in a very strange and unique way.  Everything makes sense in the world that is shown to us, yet in the oddest and most wonderful way.

Secondly the story has been engaging and now has a clear sense of direction.  In the past few weeks its become clear that this isn't going to be a plodding story--things move quite fast, yet slow enough to give us good portraits of the characters.  The rather brutal death of several speaking characters, the sheer inainity that the world seems to be headed for, are vividly portrayed, and create a sense of impending doom at times.  Yet the vivacity of the story and of the setting, of the characters that our titular hero encounters, serve to lighten this load and keep things consistently interesting and fun.

Finally there is quite a sense of mystery about the world, about the nature of what exactly our hero is doing, that captures a bit of what fantasy should be about--the mysterious, the inexplicable--not too much has been revealed to us about the world, so I'm always eager to discover more about it, and this can only add to the sense of wonder that this comic can create.
