Har har, served!

Order of the Stick is great, even though Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is better.

Well, I read over 65 webcomics on a regular basis, so I'm not going to list them all. However, among my favourites are Ask Dr. Eldritch, Beaver and Steve, Dinosaur Comics, Dr. McNinja, Gunnerkrigg Court, Questionable Content, and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

I've never read Order of the Stick, despite several recommendations. Perhaps I will start.

I read "Natural Twenties" and "Cyanide and Happiness". Both are very funny.

Sometimes changes take away from the fun of a comic, but most of the one's I've read that have changed are reflecting the growth and expansion of the talents of the author and actually get better.

Wigu, Megatokyo, Questionable Content, ScaryGoRound... the art style and writing changed for the better in all of them.

Achewood is a fine webcomic featuring an alcoholic tiger, stuffed bears and an otter who's five, several cats and a squirrel with an attitude problem.  (It's not furry, don't worry.)

Second on PBF and Dinosaur Comics, both great.

OOTs, I do D&D its obligitory

Not another fantasy webcomic, the (almost) touching romance between a goblin and a beholder (weird and also has Captain Fang the worlds most dashing Kobold pirate)

Questionable content, for the fun indiness (and music tips plus hanalore and pintsize and pen pen woot)

Natch Evil, whats not to like about a webcomic where the main character is a supernatural serial killer employed by the chain smoking son of satan (not for the faint of heart though has very funny moments (goth pizza, I'll have mine with extra cheese anchovies and darkness....)

Commisioned, O rocks I read it for the rants half as much as the comic

Comodity, cool very cool

megatokyo,

Yosh

El goonish shiv

Mundane nirvana

Too much information

Two kinds

Home of the strange

Goblins

Girly

VG cats

PVP (though since the latest art change not so much)

scary go round

I hate ornery boy

Something positive

There are more but I can't bring them all to mind now might update this later

Had a look at ninja's don't knit its good well done to the artist (unemployed skeletor great).

Me and a few friends might try and get one up loosely based on our gaming group last year (the adventuring party that went by the name team collateral damage (one city we went through wasn't destroyed by our direct actions (that one burnt down entirly by coincedence) which doesn't sound that bad but we were try to save the world and these wern't cities of opponents))

He'll be so pleased!  I'll make sure he knows you said so.

Also, good luck with your comic collaboration!  That sounds like a terribly fun campaign and ought to make an interesting premise.  I just started one last week with my group and my friend Eddie's character already tried to kill mine... she got out of it, though, so no worries.  (Hooray for +15 to Bluff and Diplomacy!)

oh god something like 80% of party deaths were caused by infighting or by accidents...... (some of the accidents were less accidental then others) they horribly mangled my first character (a fighter) so came back as a sorcerer with a whole list of team killing spells......
