Thought I’d share a list of my webcomic recommendations for anyone who’s interested. Anyone have any suggestions for me to check out?

- 2D Goggles

A comic about Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage teaming up as quasi-superheroes. Lots of lovely steampunky goodness.

- A Softer World

Photo comic about… well… it’s actually really hard to describe. Each comic is three panels of a photo or photos, captioned with inevitably hilarious text, often darkly amusing. The Overqualified and I Blame the Sea side projects are also well worth checking out.

- Ctrl+Alt+Del

CAD is best described as a gaming comic, although it’s a lot more than that. The characters have developed into a continuing storyline of their own. Went through a rough patch recently, but it’s getting back on form now. The archives are excellent.

- HijiNKS ENSUE

HE is a comic covering broadly geeky matters (typically movies and tv), often in horrifically funny ways. Less continuing storylines than other comics on this list, more one off gags.

- indexed

A comic consisting entirely of venn diagrams and graphs.
It’s actually pretty awesome.

- Overcompensating

These comics are just getting harder to describe. Overcompensating is one of Jeffrey Rowland’s comics. It alternates between political, absurd and self-chronicling. It’s worth a read.

- Penny-Arcade

As if I need to explain what PA is to someone on the internet. Nominally a gaming comic, but covering a wider range of content. The authors generally have their fingers on the pulse of the geekworld.

- PHD Comics

My latest time-wasting discovery. Chronicling the lives of grad students,and their methods of procrastination. If you’re in a university or academia, it’s well worth checking out.

- Questionable Content

The one soap I admit to following. QC chronicles the lives of several twenty something hipsters from Massachusetts.
WARNING: Do NOT start reading this comic unless you have at least a couple of days to spare – you will read the entire archives in 2 or 3 sittings.

- Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Always good for an incredibly twisted one-shot gag.

- Save Hiatus

A decent comic parodying obsessive fans of cancelled shows. Hasn’t updated in a couple of months though. Dead?

- Scary Go Round

Awesome comic, set mostly in the UK (which is a nice change – references I get). Featuring several really fun characters having vaguely supernatural adventures.

- See Mike Draw

Another delightfully twisted comic. Not too regular a schedule, but worth subscribing to. I quite like the art as well.

- the rut

Pretty similar to SMD, more twisted humour. Love it.

- Urf

A joint project by the guys behind See Mike Draw and The Rut. The comic takes a look at the fictional world of Urf, and the odd things that happen there.

- User Friendly

Comic about IT workers, great old ones and current events in tech. Been boring me a bit lately though.

- XKCD

You have an internet connection if you’re reading this, so I’m sure you’ve seen xkcd before. If you like science, math, technology or are in any way geeky I highly recommend you check it out.
