10 really good Webcomics
Apr 22nd, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: Tech and the Net
Over the years I’ve built up a fairly large list of Webcomic bookmarks. It seems that they are a dime a dozen nowadays, so its hard to filter between them and find the really good ones.
Here is my list anyway of the 10 comics that I’ve been coming back to consistently:
1. Penny Arcade: If you’re an internet savant you will have already heard of this comic, as it seems to be one of the biggest out there. It mainly deals with gaming but also dabbles in internet culture and memes.
2. Truck Bearing Kibble: A rather odd webcomic, which will make you laugh because of its strangeness. Unlike most other webcomics it has some pretty good well drawn panels.
3. XKCD: Another fairly well known comic. It’s more of an eye on the life and experiences of the author, than a comic meant purely for comedy. A lot of his musings are pure genius.
4. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: This is probably one of my favourite comics. It is just so odd and peculiar. It also manages to be funny in only one frame, something a lot of other comics can’t achieve in 3 or more frames.
5. TGSA Comic: This one deals with quite a varied amount of topics. Mostly pop culture though.
6. GU Comics: Mainly gaming related but quite funny for those who are up to speed on the gamers universe. If you don’t game you probably won’t get even 1 of these.
7. The Joy of Tech: A comic about Tech really. Mainly centers itself on being a shameless Apple fanboy, but can also be pretty good at times.
8. Brightly Wound: Kinda like a poor mans XKCD, but still it has its moments. The updates are not regular though and get drawn I guess when the author gets around to it.
9. VG Cats: Another good gaming webcomic. Can have some real moments of genius, but can also fail miserably at being funny.
10. the Warehouse: Can be hit and miss, but has some real moments of excellence.
Here are some other comics d’internet I like.

What about Cyanide & Happiness?! ( http://explosm.net/ )
Should definitely should be on top 5
This list is shit. All of the above suck. Disregard this website. Just as you believed that there must be some webcomics out there that don’t suck when you fed “Webcomics that don’t suck” into a search engine, there must be some “Webcomics that don’t suck” collections of link pages that also don’t suck.
Granted, I haven’t found one yet, but will keep looking.
