Categories are update frequency, with "completed" near the bottom.
Legend: numbers giving a rough rank (1 is best, 4 is close to being dropped, multiple numbers indicate change in quality, first number older); (gag) for a daily gag as opposed to ongoing plot/drama; MO for mouseover text (extra joke or comment) present; (thought) for use of thought bubbles.


Daily. Man, most of these start with S for some reason.

  • 2,MO Dumbing of Age -- Willis reboots his characters for life at IU. (thought)
  • 2 Gaia -- fantasy. Completed, now in re-runs with commentary but wiped out its old archive, I'm pissed about that.
  • 1,MO Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (gag) modern Far Side, kind of. Big red button provides extra joke.
  • 2 Something Positive -- Genre: black humor
  • 4 Unshelved -- librarians, (gag)

    Weekdays, or close

  • 3,MO Girls with Slingshots Genre: Friends-like, maybe? (now in rerun)
  • 2,3 Questionable Content -- Post-Singularity coffeeshop hipsters.
  • 2,3 Sluggy Freelance -- classic long-running webcomic. Genre: Eclectic. Quality goes up and down but above all it just keeps on going, arrgh. Weekend filler art.

    MWF. Most of the really good ones, hmm.

  • 1 El Goonish Shive (M/W/F maybe, I RSS it anyway) -- magic high school slice of life transformations. Starts off slow/rough/silly, but by the end of the first Sister arc you can see where it's going. Also has an NP secondary strip, which is sometimes canon. (thought, lots)
  • 1,2 Girl Genius -- Genre: "gaslamp fantasy", or steampunk. Mad Science works, and Rules The World... badly. Foglio. Downgraded for pacing. (thought, at least once)
  • 1 Gunnerkrigg Court (mad science and magic school mix) (thought, visual)

    MWF but will read on TRSa to space things out.

  • 1, 3 MO XKCD (nerd jokes) (gag) (used to be very good, rather hit or miss now)

    Or TRSu!

  • 1 Freefall -- hard SF with silly bits. Uplifted wolf and robots and stuff. (thought)

    Purged (no longer read). Ranking, well, I stopped reading them. Sometimes out of dislike or boredom, sometimes because of an irregular update schedule or hiatus that I didn't care enough to do anything about. (And on checking, many of them have gone into limbo anyway.)
