Webcomics

Starslip Crisis

The adventures of the museum starship Fueseli and her crew. Updated all weekdays and sometimes Saturday.

Weregeek

Another one about RPGers and wargamers; updated Mon, Wed, Fri and sometimes Sat.

Girl Genius

Steampunk. Lots of storyline, definitely not a gag-a-day comic. Updated Mon, Wed, Fri.

Buck Godot

AKA "Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire". Light-hearted sci-fi noir, finished (story complete, no longer updated).

Ctrl-alt-del

Video games, updated Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Freefall

Sci-fi; although most of the characters are robots this comic is considered to be "furry" due to the presence of a single talking wolf. Updated regularly.

Questionable Content

Apart from the fixation on "indie" music, not at all questionable. Updated weekdays.

Mandy

Great comic about a dog and her owner (and crush). Rarely updated.

Banished

Rarely coloured, slow as molasses plot, repetitive jokes, yet somehow very entertaining. On hiatus.

Wondermark

Comics from old engravings; easily makes up for the lack of original drawing with cutting humour. I hope you noticed that pun. Updates Tuesday and Friday.

Dr McNinja

Updates very late 3 times per week.

Partially Clips

Comics from generic clipart. Updates weekly.

Exterminatus Now

Sci-fi (with demons and gods), Updated weeklyish.

Order of the Stick

A Dungeons & Dragons Webcomic (you won't get most of this unless you have played D&D). Updated irregularly.

Updated irregularly.

Dueling Analogs

Full Frontal Nerdity

Yet another comic on RPGers. Updated weekly or so.
