All of them? Yikes. [...] Stand Still, Stay Silent ( if you aren't already reading this one, you really should; seriously it's awesome) It looks gorgeous. I'll definitely try it; thanks for pointing it out.

Is this the thread for listing the webcomics? Let's see, there are several tiers here:
Comics I check religiously
Gunnerkrigg Court (check this out if you haven't etc.)
Comics I currently check regularly (if not on hiatus)
Ava's Demon Cucumber Quest Gastrophobia Homestuck Paranatural
Comics I currently catch up with irregularly/less enthusiastically than the previous tier
Derelict Dresden Codak Flaky Pastry The Non-Adventures of Wonderella The Order of the Stick Xkcd
Additional categories include comics I followed for periods of varying length but then stopped, comics I followed happily and then they stopped, comics I enjoy whenever linked to but cannot get myself to explore properly, comics I respect a lot but for whichever reason don't keep up with, comics that seem to oscillate between brilliant and awkward, comics I read for longer than I now think they actually deserve, comics that are short and/or very unfinished...

The weirdest archive binge for me ever, was To much Information. I didn't really like it, even started hating it and couldn't stop. That was half a year ago, and I have not once checked it since. A few I missed here: Perry Bible Fellowship Band vs Band The Abominable Charles Christopher O Human Star Alien Hand Syndrome 2D Goggles (Ada Lovelace day should be an official holiday!) Finished but not forgotten: Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life A Miracle of Science Casey and Andy Girly YU+ME Rice Boy ( Digger was already mentioned, but if you haven't read it; start now)

Oh, let me join! Comics I check on update days: Strong Female Protagonist (check it out, it's quite cool) Namesake Monster Pulse Scary Go Round (the current side-story Expecting to Fly is great) Girls with Slingshots Octopus Pie Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Two Guys and Guy Comics I check about once a week: Family Man Fox Sister Fey Winds What Birds Know Derelict Sorcery 101 Sister Claire Gastrophobia Kiwi Blitz Wichy Thistil Mistil Kistil I used to read a lot more webcomics, but I reduced my list. By the way, I just binged through "Stand Still Stay Silent". Is that thing even for real? The art is gorgeous and I'm already in love with the characters! Does it really update Monday through Friday? Sounds too good to be true, haha. Minor plot spoilers ahead: A post-apocalyptic story set in the real world, with a resurgence of magic of some sort? I've been looking for this sort of setting for so long!
And language barriers are relevant to the plot? Aaaaah, awesome! I downloaded that language tree as soon as I saw it!
Oh, and Lalli was my favourite from the start, haha. I'm a sucker for anti-social loners, who are anti-social not because of cynicism but because of a life of isolation and disconnection. I love it! Thank you Rasselas and legion for introducing this one!

Fish > Minna Sundberg, the author of SSSS, has a previous completed webcomic called A Redtail's Dream; it was still running when I found it, and I can attest Minna sticked to her self-imposed pretty frenetic schedule till the end of it -- with the caveat that she takes one week (sometimes two) of break between each chapter, and that she sometimes takes a single day break after she posts a double a page. She also said SSSS will at some point reduce to "only" four updates a week (when she'll also be taking care of printing and sending the first book of SSSS which got recently crowfunded). But yeah, she's very dedicated and pretty much work on her comic almost non stop ("helped" by the fact that she's very introverted and has strong social anxiety). While she said she would lower the update schedule to three days a week if she found herself forced to take a day job due to her financial situation, so far this hasn't been necessary; the fundraisings of A Redtail's Dream and of the first book of SSSS have raised enough money to support her for an entire year, at least until the next fundraising. Yeah; personally I appreciate to finally have a post-apocalyptic universe where the characters are (mostly) sane and likeable, as opposed to rude, cynical, psychopatic jerks; and yeah, Lalli is quite the fan favorite.

This thread name is confusing. (E': I mean, I thought you were discussing this Damara thing here instead of comparing webcomic reading lists. I almost missed the opportunity to participate!) My deep, darkest secrets, finally revealed: (The terrible secret being my sad laptop screen resolution, of course, which is why that RSS list doesn't fit the screen anymore.) I did read and enjoy the Redtail's Dream, but I just couldn't bear myself to read SSSS more than the first dozen pages or so into the intro. Maybe it's because reading A Canticle for Leibowitz left such a strong impression, or that the whole of post-apo feels like a tired genre, or maybe I read too much into the implications on why it's so popular nowadays (in the name of FSM, why so many find intriguing to dwell in speculative fiction based on the premise that the most of the humanity and modern society is dead, except for the survivors who were lunatic enough to prepare for the apocalypse), but I really can't stand post-apocalyptic setting. (I really tried to enjoy SSSS, but to no avail) E: Also, I think Vattu (by Evan Dahm of the Rice Boy fame) might have the potential turn out to be one of the greatest comics (as a piece of art of graphic novel / comic / [what do you want call the medium anyway] storytelling) I've been reading on the internet thus far.
