Make this webcomic addict feel better about his addiction.
'Fess up to how many comics you read regularly - i.e. every update, or catching up once a week/fortnight.
-
Over 100. Right.
I read twelve regularly, though one isn't specifically a webcomic- I just read it on the internet instead of in the newspaper. I have a folder of them in my bookmarks that I go through every weekday and weekends for the one "regular" comic.
-
At last count I think I have about 25 to 30 that I read regularly, mostly by checking the webcomic list.
I do have a word document that chronicles all of the ones that I have read and right now I think it totals over 100. I made the document because I would usually forget which ones I like, now I check it when ever I'm bored and try and to catch up.
-
And there I was thinking I was a big webcomic nerd. I only just got to 6 today.. through Ctrl+Alt+Del and the sillies it spawns. Any other good ones I should be looking into?
-
Pretty much any one other than Ctrl Alt Del would be an okay start!
-
35 - 45, depending on whether infrequently updated and on-hiatus strips count. Whatever the number, it is exactly how many good comics there are.
-
I read around 5-10 often. There are a few more that I check on at least once a month.
Several years back I'd say around 50, but this has reduced because I read a lot more American and European graphic novels now. Webcomics still have a long way to go as a medium.
-
QC was the first, but it's now joined by LICD, LFG, and the Book of Biff. I'm also working through the archives of Ctrl-Alt-Del and Explosm.
-
I voted 15-20 when I was at work from a guess, but as it turns out my RSS feeds number up in the mid-twenties. I surprise myself!
-
Here's a screenshot of the 'Comics' folder in my Firefox bookmark toolbar:
(http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/5207/comicsjn1.png)
Looks like about 20, though most of these are sporadically updated. (They aren't in any particular order, either.)
-
Q.C
Cyanide and happiness
Bob and George
it got stupid
and a few others I catch up with every coupla months (fun to read in bulk, like Q.C)
-
There's nine or ten I read regularly, and a few more I read occasionally.
-
QC, Gunnerkrig Court, Girl Genius, Rob and Elliot, A Softer World, and then 3 or 4 others that I check once in a while.
-
I'm surprised no one has read Misfile. It's a pretty good one and is actually about as long as QC is right now. It's a pretty good story, but I think it's more dramatic than funny...or something.
-
I read and enjoy Misfile
Here's a print screen with my favorites bar. So this plus the word list I have.

SUPER QUESTION NEEDS ANSWER FOR SANITY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
i only read one, and it's not even QC... achewood is pretty much the shit, QC got too emo for me when my girlfriend broke up with me. any ways, I'm wondering if anyone knows of something a little edgier both in subject matter and art, you know, guns knives blood pussy and satan type of stuff. pre-thanks for the info!

Sinfest, QC, Penny&Aggie, Wapsi Square, Evil,Inc, Menage a 3, diesel sweeties & Nothing Nice To Say get my highest devotion. Scene language, RPG world, OrneryBoy, CoffeeAchievers, NoPinkPonies, cool cat studio & PlatinumGrit used to get the good lovin before they either went TU or turned into non-free sites. Scene Language was sorta close in tone to QC. Coffee achievers less so.
Next tier below the gods is the A-list: lackadaisycats, irregular webcomic, scary go round, overcompensating, wigu, sequential art, stuff sucks, shortpacked, D&D, sam & fuzzy and the most eleet venerable of them all, Kevin & Kell. Token mention for Penny Arcade too, local boys done good. Occasionally I go do the satisfying-archive-slog and visit : hero by night, gunnerkrigg court, hatesong, striptease, a softer world, misfile, sidekick girl, friendlyhostility, stuck, pewfell, dorkboy, or Badguyhigh.
Best way to add to the list? Check links and twitters of artists I already like. Try em out.
Prolly miss RPG World most, - Ian may not have been the one to break my webcomic cherry, but he sure was damn funny ...
-
I tend to flit in and out of reading comics, probably been reading QC the longest now, well I guess you could say I read CtrlAltDel, but that's only to look at it, laugh how bad it is and then slag it off.
Others I read that I recommend- Pictures For Sad Children
Nedroid (the Beartato strip on there)
xkcd, although this has become a lot less funny recently
Brawl In The Family (probably my favourite right now)
The Abominable Charles Christopher
A Softer World
-
Is anyone faithful to QC alone? I've tried reading other webcomics, but they just aren't as entertaining as Jeph's work. I'm old school and actually prefer regular, paper comics/graphic novels.
-
Questionable Content
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Cyanide & Happiness
XKCD
Menage a 3
Shortpacked!
So far anyway, I'm half way through the archives on about 30 more. And I've read rice boy all the way through, that was good.
And yes I am ashamed of some of those.
-
I discovered QC 5 days ago. Before that, I read Dilbert online every day.
Now that I've caught up and read all the QC's, I'm sad that I have to wait for each weekday like the rest of you now.
Long live QC!
-
Coincidentally, my experience with QC is almost identical to that of the user above me (though I discovered it about 6 or 7 days ago).
The first webcomic I read regularly was Oh My Gods!, but I stopped reading that a few years ago. Now, I read Gunnerkrigg Court, Dresden Codak, XKCD, Pictures for Sad Children, QC, and Order of Tales. I'm surprised that only one of you mentioned Rice Boy (my favorite-est epic-comic evar!), and that nobody reads Order of Tales. It's become increasingly beautiful, and Evan Dahm writes the best fantasy comics on the Internet.
Oh and... Dammit! Why did this have to be my first post?
-
I read Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/), QC, and Freak Angels (http://www.freakangels.com/) pretty consistently. I kind of like Dreadnaught Invasion 6 (http://www.drunkduck.com/Dreadnought_Invasion_Six/) as well... For the Reels (http://www.forthereels.com/) isn't bad for the occasional movie-related laugh... and I hit up XKCD (http://xkcd.com/) on a fairly regular basis, as well...
-
I only discovered QC and the world of the webcomic about a month ago when I noticed someone hotlinking an image from my website to here. It takes me a while to "get" some comics, so if I read the most recent one and it seems entertaining, I start from the very beginning and read all the way current. I also only like reading all the way through one comic at a time, so this process has been rather slow. Currently, I read QC, xkcd and Wasted Talent. I tried getting into Penny Arcade because someone sent me this one (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/9/27/), but I do not think I know enough about other games to really appreciate the comic like I should. I predict by this time next year I will be religiously reading some twenty to thirty at a time.
-
B^U
-
Lessee.... Goats, QC, The Perry Bible Fellowship, Lucid-TV, xkcd, Minus, Cyanide and Happiness, 1/0, Cascade Failure, Garfield Minus Garfield, and Dr McNinja. But I picked the 2-5 option because some of those don't update anymore/are finished.
-
QC (Natch), PVP, Menage a 3, Wapsi, Sam and Fuzzy...
...and...GWS, Shortpacked, and Hark! A Vagrant.
....I really didn't want to mess up that rhythm I had going.
-
For me..

-Bunny
-Penny Arcade
-Little Gamers

And finally the dead ones: Untitled Comedy and Treading Ground. Though Sam + Fuzzy is still on my To-Read list, what with Jeph loving them and all.
EDIT: Sorry for making a huge list
-
Regularly:
Penny Arcade
Ctrl Alt Del (though I've been mostly reading the sillies lately...)
Theater Hopper
Questionable Content
Least I Could Do
Sinfest
Multiplex
Sporadically:
VG Cats / Super Effective!
Looking For Group
-
The only ones I actually check regularly are QC, A Softer World, and XKCD. I started a thread about Minus years ago and forgot completely about it. I should go back and reread that one one of these days.
-
I follow about three dozen, including some print comics that also happen to be online. However, I think that since Calvin and Hobbes is no longer in papers, it should count as a webcomic.
I got tired of checking stuff that didn't update every day.
So I subdivided the comic folder in my bookmarks into monday, tuesday, etc. with the comics that update on those days in those folders, which means that QC actually shows up five times, xkcd three times, and so on. Stuff that updates sporadically and not on any schedule (OotS, VGCats, etc) I just check once a week.
-
3
QC
Dinosaur Comics
Dr McNinja
I used to read White Ninja but kinda bored of it
-
Webcomics I read:
El Goonish Shive: Following 9 teenagers through weird supernatural experiences.
Questionable content: Nuff said.
Between the lines: Follows the lives of some transgender teenagers called Shay and Danni (very dark and sad at times).
Sinfest: A non linear comic following a variety of characters, quite funny.
Amazing super powers: non linear comic.
DAR: A comic by Erika Moen, very good)
Comics I sometimes read:
XKCD
Cyanide and happiness.
Comics I used to read:
CAD (left after the miscarriage).
Transe-generation (a non linear comic on transgender issues, very funny, but sadly dead).
Venus Envy (website still up, but dead)
Comics I wanna read:
YU+ME (hard to get into due to storyline complexity)
VGcats (Really good looking comic, but I think it might be dead.
Edit: I'm surprised nobody reads El goonish Shive!

-
Go read YU+ME.
Gosh. Followed your advice and did read it today during work. Wow. What to say. From normal girl/girl manga to "Wizard of Oz vs. Alice behind the Mirrors" with ever so changing drawing art style in less then 7 pages. Wicked. Ms. Gedris is inspired artist.
-
These days, maybe 50 at best. A few years back that would've been closer to 200… But really, there are a lot of comics that just read better in larger chunks (for example, the optimum checkback frequency for Schlock Mercenary is about once in three months).
Don't ask how many comics I have in my bookmarks altogether. A count two years ago went well over 500. Probably more than a quarter of them I don't even remember what they are about…

-
QC, XKCD, Dinosaur Comics, A Softer World, Pictures for Sad Children, Flaky Pastry. Those are the only ones I read now. When I lost broadband I stopped reading Dr. McNinja and Ctr-Al-Del. Working my way through 8-Bit Theatre and Overcompensating. Have sporadically read Sam and Fuzzy, Cyanide and Happiness, and a few others.
-
Hmmm, about 6 or 7 at this point -- QC, XKCD, Penny Arcade, Wondermark, Dinosaur Comics, Hijinks Ensue . . . I haven't been keeping up with Narbonic lately (my hubby reads it faithfully), but I like that too.
Does Perry Bible Fellowship even update anymore? It hadn't in awhile the last time I looked -- I loved that one.
-
Go read YU+ME.
Go read Dead Winter as well (http://deadwinter.cc/index.htm)
-
I have 9 in my bookmarks toolbar, but I don't check all of them and not all update very regularly.
xkcd
QC
Dr. McNinja
Dinosaur comics
Phoenix Requiem (thinking about trying to make myself check this less often cause I think it's better read in large spurts)
Abstruse Goose
Surviving the World
Indexed (don't check it much, but occasionally)
Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life (I read all of them recently and didn't realize that the updates are few and far, far between. Wish there were more cause I love it.)
I'm always slightly on the lookout for more. I've heard good things about SMBC from some friends and there are a couple others that I'll read a few of if I stumble upon a link or something (C&H).
-
Makeshift Miracle. I started that the other day
-
Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life (I read all of them recently and didn't realize that the updates are few and far, far between. Wish there were more cause I love it.)
How does this webcomic deal with Pluto's demotion?
-
I used to read upto 7 or 8 webcomics everyday. In sundays only I will read around 15. It makes me to refresh myself.

Sinfest
Perry Bible Fellowship (seemingly truly dead now :()

:lol:
:wink:
Yup
Been following it for over a year and a half since I found it.
I even lurk in the Forum :D
-
just started reading sorcery 101 thanks to an advertisement panel here at QC. Read the whole thing and honestly, its not that bad.
-
QC, Anti Hero For Hire, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Exterminatus Now, The Perry Bible Fellowship, xkcd, Cascade Failure, Girls With Slingshots, Darths & Droids, Irregular Webcomic! (Ironically the only strip I read that has never missed an update- and it updates 7 days a week!), The Order Of The Stick, Johnny Wander, Looking For Group.
Before the went defunct, there was also Turn Signals On A Land Raider and Battlebarge.
-
Just stumbled on an old comic I used to read called Punks and Nerds. (http://original.punksandnerds.com/d/0001.html) Apparently it ended for a year or so and then they started it back up again. (http://www.punksandnerds.com/?id=1) Clicked through some of the archives, and though it was fun, I remembered it being a lot funnier. Then again I was 15.
Anyway, might be worth a read-through for some of you. Popular subjects of hilarity include video games and musics.

-
Only 4 with any regularity-
Questionable Content

Amazed that so few people read ScaryGoRound/Bad Machinery and Girls with Slingshots!
I was thinking I'd be in the 2-5 bracket, but then I remembered a blog post (http://tigerdarling.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-life-as-webcomic-groupie.html) I made not long ago...

It's kind of funny, based on your blog post, but Penny Arcade is one of my favorite comics. It's one of the few that I find is consistently funny.
What do you think of Chester 5000 XYV Lunchy? It's what first introduced me to Jess Fink, but I don't know if she is going to continue it.
-
Added
Sandra and Woo
Menage a 3
YU+ME has recently ended its run and The Lounge is semi-active again - though they've switched sites.
-
Some days I think "too many," then I remember that I have another dozen or so comics I want to read through but am too lazy or busy* to get through. Right now I read about 60 comics.
* - also being lazy
-
Added recently to my list
Eerie Cuties
Magick Chicks
-
If we mean regularly probably around 8-10. There're about 4 or 5 other I check back on semi regulgarly. I've read dozens more in the past, but I don't keep up with them for whatever reason.
-
QC and Dinosaur Comics :mrgreen:
I do read Ctrl Alt Del as I've been reading that the longest, but I really think the story is crappy, characters are uninteresting, and its generally a pretty awful comic these days. I mean I remember one point where Tim did literally 9 weeks of filler comics. I really don't know why I still read it, I care a lot more about the characters in QC than I do in CAD.
-
Buh... I never counted them out before, so...
English:
QC
XKCD
SMBC
OotS
Abstruse Goose
Dilbert
Dork Tower
Octopus Pie
French:
Boulet (there's also an english version of it, check it out, folks)
Greg
Pierrot
Obion
Mady
Miss Gally
Pénélope
Romain Ronzeau
Manu XYZ
Kek
German:
Nichtlustig
Ruthe
That's 20 regulars, and maybe 10 others I check upon irregularly. So, 20-30 it is.
-
Only 3 regularly:
QC
XKCD
Indexed
I catch up on Oglaf when I want to feel particularly weird.
-
More or less 9 at the moment. It's "more or less" because my internet's crap at home and waiting for images to load is... something less than entertaining.
I read:
QC
Kevin & Kell
Cyanide & Happiness
SMBC
Circuit
XKCD
Something Positive
Out at Home
Pants are Overrated
Apparently that is as much as my attention span can stomach, since I have a hard time remembering just that many.
-
This was easier than listing them all...

Ignore the thing about the windstar near the bottom, I'm trying to fix mine.
Several of the "dailys" have backpedaled to two or three times a week.
("Simply Sarah" is actually a link to DrunkDuck, where I have several other favorites, most notably The Princess, Strawberry Deathcake and the now abandoned strip The Hub, the author of which lost everything in Katrina, and no one knows what happened to her)

As a lazy artist, I really enjoy good art (that someone else made) and clever comedy.
Comic GOLD: QC
Calvin & Hobbes - Priceless! (and might actually have a successor in Cul de Sac!)
Girls with Slingshots - delicious naughty fun
Perry Bible Fellowship - masterful art and wonderfully subversive
Guilded Age - rich, lush art and don't miss the alt texts: hilarious!
TemplarAz - impressive art and social commentary
Girl Genius
Schlock Mercenary (funny how i like weaponry & explosions here but when anderslovesmaria got fistfighting, i quit...)
xkcd - smarter than the average webcomic
Sinfest - subversive with attitude!
Good Too:
Something Positive - sets the cynical bar delightfully high
cool cat studio - cute, charming art and characters
Good but and NSFW:
menagea3 - a pure sex comedy, done very well
Curvy - cute and loopy
Sexy Losers - raunchy fun
Oglaf - medieval sex comedy stories
(... i wish i could find Arthur Depins' deliciously cute sexy comics in English... amazing art! )
* Please Come Back! * Maybe this is all she wanted to do, but i got emotionally involved in the real-life joys & tribulations of
PlanetKaren - and i hope she gets back into it. A daily comic diary... honest, sad, funny, touching, real!

Tomart, you've got to go back and finish it. It is fantastic, the art got stretched to new levels towards the end, and the emotions were heartrending, uplifting, touching and hysterical, often in the space of one comic. Clearly you were emotionally invested, or it wouldn't have bothered you so much. So go, get past the hard parts, and finish what is undoubtedly one of the best love stories out there (especially if you are/will be a father someday).

WHS
The end is somewhat abrupt - but given the agonies that Renee went through writing it, I can accept that.

Wolf and Sister (although it's quite a new one)
Servants of the Imperium

There are a few others that I'm keeping an eye on, but I wouldn't say that I'm a keen follower yet.
I used to read Megatokyo, but after a while I got rather bored of it.

and....i think these count as webcomics?
books of adam (LOVE this)
hyperbole and a half (was MUCH funnier around sneaky hate spiral era....now we're lucky to get a stupid comic about her dog)
eta: i forgot about The Oatmeal! That's a webcomic.....right?? I don't know the actual defining traits :-P
does a webcomic have to have a continuous storyline? or can it just be art and text consistently updated via the interwebs? Anyone want to clarify that?

There are other comics that I've read big or small portions of and enjoyed but haven't gone back to in ages because I simply forgot (or forget) (Hot Mess ((Still on the fence about this one, but I like the idea behind it)), Power Puff Girl Doujinshi, Sugar Bits, Grim Tales, Ever After ((The Snafu ones I used to read all the time, but slow updates and forgetfulness made me drop them)), Girl Genius ((I really wanna read this one but never get around to it))) about them or they stopped being updated regularly. Nothing wrong with them at all--I just forget to check them.
Secret Asian Man is the one I'm saddest to have let go of--it used to be on Comics.com but then it moved to a separate website and was updated Sundays only.
I've read some of Ctrl+Alt+Del, Gunnerkrigg Court, Real Life (I think I also read a comic that was related to it or linked or something), Red's Planet, Dark Legacy (I've read a LOT of this one), A Softer World, and Looking for Group, but I only archive-binge for certain comics (QC and GWS), and it's hard to motivate myself to do that for comics that are hard to remember about. I like these comics quite a bit, but I have enough on my plate, so it's hard to justify getting caught up so I can read it regularly.
There are a few comics I've read a lot of but grew to dislike quite a bit for one reason or another. That makes me sad, but I don't want to waste my time on comics I don't enjoy.
And does The Comic Curmudgeon (Joshreads.com) count? I read his stuff religiously.
I also read the daily comics in the newspaper, but I'm ages behind. My family has been so kind as to hold onto them for me. :)

I dunno if you'd count Hyperbole and a Half as a webcomic: updates too irregularly.
