Best webcomic.

I know you guys read webcomics too. Which one do you think is the best one?
I don't know whether I would prefer Pictures for Sad Children, Dresden Codak, or Hark A Vagrant. I think I would choose Pictures for Sad Children ultimately.

Something Positive (especially for the guest strip he did here: http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=785)
Curvy (NSFW)
Oglaf (NSFW, either)
Multiplex
Kawaii Not
The World of Ginger Fox (just for the kitsch factor alone)
Just about half of what Dan Kim has put out for some unknown reason (insane and not safe for work or life, most of it is damn creepy and he knows it)

I know it's a small handful but nothing else appeals to me...Hit the Bad Webcomics Wiki and you'll see why.

I love VG Cats very much and its Pokemon spinoff Super Effective. Other than that the only ones I follow regularly now is XKCD and A Softer World. I started reading The Princess recently though, its really cute.

Dinosaur Comics can occasionally elicit a chuckle from me, but Axe Cop is the only webcomic I've ever found really hilarious.

I'm with Saya - XKCD and A Softer World are definitely my favourites.
Occasionally I'll have a peek at what's going on at Questionable Content.

Dinosaur Comics. Hands down. I can't find a downside, and I've never seen jokes like that anywhere else.

Also, If MS Paint Adventures count, that would be the runner up.

The conceited jerk in me will say that my own webcomic, Project Poppet is the greatest thing to happen to webcomickry.

In all serious, my favorites are Twisted Kaiju Theater and Something Positive.

I haven;t seen C&H for ages. I should catch up on it. I've probably missed about 100 strips...

I occassionally read PhD, Anders Loves Maria, and Questionable Content, so it's a three-way tie for me.

I pretty much just read XKCD and Questionable Content, there are others that I read from time to time but those are the only ones that I read on anything resembling a regular basis.

I used to like LFG but now I have no clue as to what is going on.

He only updates like once a year since he got married, but I still hold a special place in my heart for Acid Zen Wonder Paint: http://azwp.net/

And yes Lolly, Perry Bible Fellowship is the shit, but they don't update anymore, do they?

They don't, but they have books of their strips for sale. And that Wonder Paint totally tickled my insides.

While XKCD is the king of the webcomics, I find Sinfest to be quite amusing at times. Head into the archive and start from the beginning.

I've taken a liking to Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name recently. Art's gorgeous, the zombie's cool, and there's a nice balance of different styles employed for mood.

While I do read one or two of those mentioned previously in this thread, the webcomic that elicits the most anticipation from me is the marvellously drawn and written Lackadaisy (http://www.lackadaisycats.com/). Updates, unfortunately, are sporadic, but the wait is well worth the patience. The talented Ms. Butler has spared no expense in creating a lush, engaging universe filled with memorable characters, period details, intrigue, and humor. Highly reccomended.

Havelock just made my day. This is bloody brilliant. Webcomic, CATS, prohibition-era, made-men... This one got it all.

...but will it beat GirlGenius? Maybe, maybe. Time will tell.

*Doffs hat* My dear Ms. Saya, it is good to see you indeed. Alas, the weight of academia has been quite burdensome of late. Thank the heavens for a much-needed Springtime respite!

And to Mr. Methadrine, I am glad to see that you have taken a fancy to the wonder that is Lackadaisy. It truly does, "have it all" as you put it. Do enjoy!

This Lackadaisy Cats is really something different. It reminds me of Baccano, without the whole "Immortal" feel to it.
