I'm boring. Xkcd and Oglaf.
Oglaf (NSFW)
Some good weird shit there. I sent this one to my partner: https://www.oglaf.com/skin-tight/ (NSFW)
What the fuck
I don't have a single favorite one, so here is a top three, in no particular order:
Freefall The first webcomic i read, started in 1998 and still updating three times a week.
El Goonish Shive Another longrunner, started 2002 and still going. Helped me with figuring out some gender stuff.
How to be a werewolf Newest one on the list, starting in 2015, also still going.
XKCD
Calvin & Hobbes I guess doesn't count.
I have several, but in addition to some that others have already mentioned, these long-runners are quite good:
- Carciphona (ongoing)
- Digger (completed)
- Everblue (ongoing; might be back from hiatus?)
- Habourmaster (ongoing)
I've got a few saved in insta

There's more, and many probably have proper websites, but these are some of my favourites
I wanted to answer, but after reading other comments I've learned that there are other kinds of webcomics than Korean (and Chinese ig)
Ive been following Questionable Content and Grrl Power for years.
Also another +1 for Pepper & Carrot.
I recently stopped reading Questionable Content, it just feels like a mockery of what it used to be. I resisted it for a while but eventually I just couldn't take it anymore. I think my breaking point was somewhere around 1015?
I tend to go in bursts. A week or three of not readimg, then catching up all at once.
Its just one web comic ive really imvested in the characters that is still around. I do still enjoy most of the storylines.
I go back and re-read the older comics a lot. Every once and a while I'll say fuck it and do a full re-read, but that gets harder every day lol. I have attachments to so many of the characters, I've been reading it since freshman year in high school - but even then, that was like 7 years into the comic lmao
