Wilde Life - dude rents a house off Craigslist out in the country and ends up dealing with ghosts and werewolves and whatever the heck those small glowing people were. I liked a comment I saw the author make, about how to Clifford, Oscar is weird. Well, yeah; Oscar found a wolf on his porch and put it in his bathtub. Who just does that? I've indeed read Digger! (though it's been a few years) I can certainly see the similarities. Lets hope Small Glowing People are equally as ultimately benign and potentially (unwillingly?) help. |

Hem, it's not really a webcomic, but it does share a number of things with Gunndekrigg Court, so I take the risk of going off-topic for a line or two, just long enough to present you a podcast : Welcome to Nightvale. Nightvale is a (fictional) little town lost somewhere in a desert part of the United States, nowadays. It is a place where lots of strange things happen daily - except the Municipal Council cares about everything and you really shouldn't worry about it all. We learn about the daily life of Nightvale through the local radio, manned by one man only - one soft voice talking through the day and night, giving tidbits of info about the latest non-event of Nightvale, be it the opening of a new dog park you really don't want to use for your dogs (or visit yourself, or look at, or think about) for your own good, or the Glow Cloud which hovers over Nightvale, or the latest parents-teachers meeting which didn't go exactly the way it ususally does. The podcast can be listened here. And, if you speak French, there is a French non-official but authorized, and free translation/transposition, just here, where Nightvale becomes Valnuit, a little town maybe located in the Alps. |

I like that place! Being in the American Southwest, it's right up my alley! I think I might even stop by sometime, yes yes! After all, Desert Bluffs is quite nice this time of year. Believe in me, the Smiling God. |

Most of the webcomics I read have been mentioned, but here we go: www.bardsworth.com/Bardsworth is a PG, relatively lighthearted comic that still packs some emotional punches. It's about Mike Cosley, a high school senior who discovers a door in his closet that leads to Bardsworth University, which is in another world. One thing I admire about it is that Mike's family knows about it and it's interesting how everyone interacts and how the worlds differ. Mike takes wizard studies, and he loves cookies as much as life. His friends (including a fairy, a demon, and a [human] bookworm) have distinct personalities and are so lovable. It currently updates Thursdays. www.blackgrasscomic.com/Blackgrass is one I just started reading a few days ago, and it's pretty new. I already find the characters charming, though. There's a shy, sweet reverend who does exorcisms and I'm already emotionally invested with the family the comic begins with. It looks like it updates Mondays and Fridays. thehues.alexheberling.com/The Hues has wonderful diversity among its characters in every way. The protagonists are so very real, relatable, and endearing. The writing is top-notch, and so is the art. It's about post-apocalyptic magical girls. There has just been an alien invasion, and the girls are very inexperienced with their powers and have a very limited time to find one another, come into their abilities, and go up against the aliens. There are many touching and even some heart-wrenching moments already. It updates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, although there's I think a two-week break between each chapter. lackadaisycats.com/index.phpLackadaisy is right up my alley (pun unintended) because it has anthropomorphic cats. The art style is absolutely gorgeous. Granted, I'm only on like page ten so far, but the storytelling is excellent and the characters are so dang cute. I'm not sure what the update schedule is. www.last-halloween.com/The Last Halloween has a tagline along the lines of "One girl, seven billion monsters." The protagonist is Mona, a ten-year-old girl who just wants to go trick-or-treating but gets shoved into a quest to save humanity from monsters (there is one monster for every human, and every monster who kills its human receives immortality). I totally adore this webcomic for its lovable, quirky characters and its detailed, spooky, yet very beautiful art style. WARNING: There is a lot of gore. Quite a lot. But it's all in black-and-white. It updates Wednesdays. www.tryinghuman.com/Trying Human is another alien comic, but these aliens (some of them) are good guys! It's kind of a dual love story; there's a woman and an alien from I think the '40s who fall in love, and we see their story unfold in-between the present-day storyline, which is also, in simplest terms, a romance between a human and an alien. The characters all have depth and the art is beautiful. There's mild nudity on a few pages as far as I remember. There's so much more to it than the love stories, too. I'm not sure of the update schedule, since it seems to fluctuate, but I think it may be Thursdays. www.wildelifecomic.com/Wilde Life! This follows the adventures of Oscar Wilde (who is a writer like his namesake). Oscar has just moved into a new house, and finds a beautiful ghost there. Soon, they meet a very grumpy teen werewolf. There are great characters and detailed, evocative artwork. Lots of feels, too (pardon the slang). It currently updates Mondays and Thursdays. |

I guess I’m a bit late for this, but I haven’t seen this thread before, so here’s a list of all the webcomics I read, in alphabetical order: - Ava's Demon
- Buttersafe
- Cyanide and Happiness
- Demon Street
- Gunnerkrigg Court
- Loading Artist
- Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
- xkcd
As I mentioned somewhere else, I do not read a lot of webcomics. And as you can see, the majority of them are in the gag-a-day format. Demon Street is the most recent addition to the list, and I find it pretty interesting. I also read but not listed The Fox Sister, because I am convinced this last hiatus it has been in for the last god-knows-how-many months means it will never be updated again. Which is a shame, because it was really good. |

www.astralaves.comIn a strange fantasy world, two young witches are prophesied to overthrow the false god who took over their land and maintain the eternal balance of day and night... only it's sillier than that sounds. A lot sillier. www.widdershinscomic.comWiddershins has been mentioned before, I think. 19th-century wizard fun. www.drugsandwires.failNot one of my regular ones but I've looked at it occasionally - good stuff if you don't mind grim. It's set in a crummy, post-Soviet cyberpunk world, where a recovering virtual reality addict is struggling to stay clean, make a living more or less legally, dodge Bible-bashing anti-cyborg mobs and survive his old "body-modder"'s attempts to help him (she means well, at least in his particular case, but she's a bit loony)... and find out who tried to kill him with a computer virus. strongfemaleprotagonist.comJust discovered this thing the other day. To quote: "SFP follows the adventures of a young middle-class American with super-strength, invincibility and a crippling sense of social injustice." Alison Green was Mega Girl, the star of legendary crime-fighters the Guardians, until at 19 years old she discovered that while the super-heroes were fighting the super-villains they were missing something much more important... and I don't just mean saving the rainforest.

I wonder how many (active)webcomics there are in total; hundreds, thousands? Yeah, there must be tons. Ooh, I found one today that I just started and it seems promising: www.aliceandthenightmare.com/From the "About" page: "Alice and the Nightmare is a comic heavily inspired by Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland. It follows the story of a girl named Alice Heart as she attends the prestigious Phantasmagoria University, where Wonderlandians like her train to enter and collect the dreams of humans. The comic features magic, dark fantasy elements, and plenty of sweet tea time treats! It updates Tuesdays and Fridays." |

I wonder how many (active)webcomics there are in total; hundreds, thousands? Well, the voting site topwebcomics.com lists 8,515. But "active"? Hard to say. Only 1,844 have received a vote so far this month. And I checked three comics that I know to be non-active - one finished back in 2010, another in 2011, the third just stopped in mid-chapter a few months ago with an announcement that the artists were switching to contract work and printed books. Two of the three have votes. |

Though a very great many will not be even slightly close to good. |

Have you ever considered reading Stand Still Stay Silent by Minna Sundberg? It's a beautifully drawn webcomic, and it's one of my favourites. (I won't bother to go listing all of the ones I read, though- there's quite a number.) Never actually heard of it, give us a nice short blurb and a link? Stand Still Stay Silent is a light-hearted post-apocalyptic (yes) webcomic drawn by Minna Sundberg. It has gorgeous art and normally updates a whooping 5 times a week (currently 4 times a week as she's working on sending the books from the first crowdfunding campaign), with short hiatus between each chapter. It takes place 90 years in the future, in Scandinavia, after a mysterious illness has decimated most of the world population, and transformed a large part of them into dangerous monsters. In spite of this grim premice, it's a very light, very decompressed comic mostly about character interactions, with plenty of humor (and some occasional horror — imagine "The Thing" as a slice of life story). |

I just discovered another good webcomic - Alice Grove, written by Jeph Jaques of QC fame. The main character is basically Jones with feelings (immortal, indestructible, watched human history unfold). Updates twice per week. This is convenient, because it replaces Demon's Mirror, which ended recently on a rather unsatisfying note. That author is also putting out another webcomic now, but I haven't checked it out yet. |

Hem, it's not really a webcomic, but it does share a number of things with Gunndekrigg Court, so I take the risk of going off-topic for a line or two, just long enough to present you a podcast : Welcome to Nightvale. Nightvale is a (fictional) little town lost somewhere in a desert part of the United States, nowadays. It is a place where lots of strange things happen daily - except the Municipal Council cares about everything and you really shouldn't worry about it all. We learn about the daily life of Nightvale through the local radio, manned by one man only - one soft voice talking through the day and night, giving tidbits of info about the latest non-event of Nightvale, be it the opening of a new dog park you really don't want to use for your dogs (or visit yourself, or look at, or think about) for your own good, or the Glow Cloud which hovers over Nightvale, or the latest parents-teachers meeting which didn't go exactly the way it ususally does. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD. ALLLLLL HAAAAIIIIILLLLL. |

On top of GK, there are five webcomics that I regularly keep up to date on (in no particular order)... XKCD- A classic. If you know/love it, you're reading it already. The Draw Play- A must-read for NFL fans. Humorous and topical for anyone with an American Football fix. JL8- The Justice League as children. Plenty of youthful characters and cameos. Just fun to read. The Property of Hate- Apologies to Tom, but this is the best artwork in webcomics today, period. The amount of detail in each page is absurd. Interesting story too. Ava's Demon- Not for those who expect regular updates... But the designs and characters are enough to make it worth the multiple months of waiting between update batches. |

How long would you say I should read this before I can tell whether I like it or not? You'll get a pretty good feeling one way or another quickly... The general concept and tone stays the same throughout (as does its British wit, which will GK fans should latch onto easily), though the topic of conversation is always changing. In all honesty it really is worth it more for the artwork, but there are a number of neat ideas in the dialogue occasionally as well. |

GKC is presently the only webcomic I read. Well, I actually used to read a bit more. Here there are (and I'm not particularly proud of any of these):
1. Sinfest
2. Least I Could Do
3. Looking For Group
4. Bittersweet Candy Bowl
Clearly I've moved on to better things.
