I recently found MegaTokyo, and that caused me to wonder what other web
comics people find that are interesting to anime and manga fans?

"Jack". Darkness levened with hope. I think I'm in love with
Silverblue and that Fnar is one of the happiest innocents living
in Hell and tormenting sinner and demon alike with bad jokes that
I've ever seen! ^_^

"Underpowered". It's on hiatus, now, but the satiric take on
standard superheroism was a hoot. So was Kitten, the underage
sexbomb cyborg cat-girl who was losing her marbles even as we
watched and whose mix of innocence and deadly insanity was both
funny and terrifying...

If you use an aggregator, it's pretty easy to follow them all in
only a few minutes a day. They all come as one sheet.

First thing I do when I get up in the morning, after breakfast and so on, is
to check out Megatokyo. After that, I head over to Keenspot and take a look
at Errant Story, Gaming Guardians, It's Walky!, Shortpacked!, Sinfest, Bruno
the Bandit, Count Your Sheep, and Dominic Deegan, in that order. Later on
I'll check out Jack, and on mondays, I look up Anime Arcadia, Powerpuff
Girls Doujinshi, and Homestar Runner. Occassionally, when feeling bored,
I'll take a look at Girly, The Adventures of Penis, Mac Hall, or Penny
Arcade. I used to read RPG World, but they seem to have gone dormant. I also
used to read 8-bit theater, but got out of the habit and now can't be
bothered to catch up.

I used to read that, but it's been in decline for awhile. The strip's
universe becomes more and more ridiculous as it develops, the "serious"
plotlines are laughable, and he has a bad habit of resolving plotlines by
engineering complex cop-outs.

Am I alone in thinking this strip is badly drawn and stupid?

I like that strip, but between the dark plotlines, liberal gore, and sexual
perversion, I have a hard time reccommending it to a lot of people. And you
can't do big fight scenes in a thrice-weekly comic- it drags after a while.

Well, it's NSFW. that's for sure.

(shrug) I don't have problems with it. The current plotline/battle,
with our estwhile Jack (aka the sin of Wrath, AND the Grim Reaper,
but really a nice guy despite that) and the Angels Farrago and
Reckonin trying to rescue Arloest (sp?) from Drip's evil (and
SLIMY!!) clutches has enough emotion in it to carry interest even
if it's going slow. Especially since we just saw that Jack IS
Wrath, and you never ever ever want to make him lose his temper...

(I'm curious as to just what's going to happen with Arloest next.
She is still a damned soul, after all, and has never faced up to just
how wrong her initial suicide was... Even if they get her away from
Drip, she'll still be stuck in Hell unless they go the 'Frightened
Virgil' route and manage to make her face up to what she's done and
start repenting...)

Wow, how could I forget Adis! He is totally my hero. How can you
look at a strip like http://countyoursheep.com/d/20050421.html and not
want more is what I'd like to know!

Heh. The first three of those were on my shortlist when I actually had
the time to read Webcomics regularly, and two of them still are when I
take the time to do it anyway. The third entry on the current list has
also already been cited: El Goonish Shive. (I'm about two weeks behind
on that; it's about time I went to catch up again...)

Like a few other respondents to the thread: "Schlock Mercenary"
(www.schlockmercenary.com), intelligent mil-SF space-opera comedy by
one Howard Tayler, formerly hosted on Keenspot. Newspaper-style four
panels per issue, one issue a day, for the past five years. (Some
webcomics publish three times a week, with a physical format more like
a single page of a comic book.)

The plot of "Schlock Mercenary" moves quickly -- the characters have
advanced through about a dozen adventures in the 1000+ issues -- and
Tayler's plotting manages a punchline in most of them. I plowed
through the lot of them in about a week (between jobs; and I should've
been job hunting). Yes, I bought myself a Keenspot Premium
Membership.

Rather a lot of dismemberments, though. But it's okay; as in
"Futurama," the medical technology of the 31st century makes them only
minor inconveniences. (It's convincing the *insurance company* that's
the challenge.)

Then I discovered "Sore Thumbs" (www.sorethumbs.com), which is
described thusly by Keenspot...

Liberal activist Cecania is forced to work in the video
game shop owned by her conservative brother Fairbanks. If
CNN's CROSSFIRE was set in a video game shop and James Carville
was an attractive pink-haired girl drawn anime-style, it would
be SORE THUMBS!

...Fairbanks makes George Bush II look reasonable and balanced, was
acquitted of patriotically murdering two people he believed to be
terrorists (he drowned them in soup), and Cecania has a degree in
Horror Movie Hosting. The dialogue is very "Invader Zim" in that the
most appalling and nonsensical things are said with Great! Conviction!
Oh, and there are other characters too.

The comic runs M-W-F and is drawn in black/white/grey, so you can't
tell that the talking dwarf polar bear with improbable video game
skills (look out, MT's Largo) is blue.

Ahhh Katie your view of the world pleases me so!
I almost wonder if Yotsuba is going to be the manga equivalent of Count
Your Sheep.

I have read many web comics over the years, but there is only one I am
currently reading as the come out.
