Webcomics!

[PyroVulpes]

Just curious as to what everyone here reads. Here's my list in order of most to least favourite:

• Cyanide & Happiness - Not furry, but absolutely hilarious in a very deranged way, and it updates almost every day. Rated "R".
• Freefall - A lighthearted, funny furry strip that also manages to take a serious look at society. Takes place in our distant future on another planet colonized by humans. Updates three times a week, rated "PG".
• Black Tapestries - A much darker and more serious strip than the first two that takes place in a medieval fantasy world. Presently on hiatus, rated "R".
• The Foxfire Chronicles - Another more serious comic. While the story starts in the present day, it has more than enough sci-fi and fantasy elements to keep me interested. Currently updating every other week, rated "PG-13".
• Mynarski Forest - How about this? A Canadian furry comic! A lighthearted comedy that follows the adventures of some Albertan woodland critters. Updates every Monday, rated "G".
• 21st Century Fox - A very silly romantic and nerdy comedy that takes place in a near future populated by furry characters. Updates every Monday, rated "PG".
• DMFA - A lighthearted fantasy comedy originally based on events and characters in Furcadia. Updates three times a week, rated "PG".
• Better Days - I'm really not sure why I keep reading this one since present day dramas really aren't my thing. Updates twice a week, rated "PG-13".

I'll probably edit this post sometime tomorrow to add a few more comics.

Better Days grew up, like how you grew up, the events in their lives matured as they matured...

...And then Fisk found out his father didn't die in Vietnam as a soldier, but instead while super secret rogue intelegence agency and said super secret rogue intelegence agency wanted to recruit Fisk and the whole thing jumped the shark.  It just all stopped being believeable to me.

Here's to hoping New World's gets more effort, cause there's a lot more potential in that now. ...And pirate are cool.

Zebra Girl is sortakinda furry. There are werewolves, anyway. And it's really good.

[AshleyAshes]

I still enjoy better days and the shops of it even more then the orignal at times xP

Dare I ask to see what you're talking about? o__o

[Tiger_Dusk]

Well, I dunno if he's super-awesome, but it's consistant and well enough.  His stories are interesting, which is the real reason I read his work.  (Interesting EXCEPT FOR SECRET ROGUE INTELEGENCE AGENCY MAFIA FISKNESS!!! AGHALHGAGAGA!!!)

How can anyone forget Sandusky? 
  http://sandusky.comicgenesis.com

  That is some illegal cuteness right there!

[Riley]

Oh boy, this'll be a long list. . .

( No specific order )

Order of the Stick  Got me into DnD, some of the jokes(Which are good and abundant)  require some knowhow about DnD, but it's not completely selective. Not furry. It's about a team of Adventurer's.

Questionable Content Joke's for everyone, there's a couple of furry stuff thrown in there, ' Why can't I access the file?' 'Oh, let me put it in a different sharing folder. That folder is where I keep all my Furry erotica' Fay: ' Ouch,  Furry porn is like <something bad> to your computer ' It's about a boy trying to win the love of this girl who moved in with him.

Freefall Funny and Furry, it's already been commented on, but I love it.

Two Kinds A furry fantasy setting that is humorous, has good art and good storytelling. It's about a war between Humans and Keidran  (Fur's) And the adventure's of Trace Legacy, who's trying to stop the fighting.

VG Cat's I'm sure everyone knows this, video game parody. Scott says it's not " Furry " But the art style is regarded as such.

8-Bit theatre A Final Fantasy sprite parody, main focus is on jokes that require some knowhow of old Final Fantasy. Not furry

Erfworld A man without a life is pulled into a board game that he created, being forced to be a real commander in a scenario he designed. Funny, but requires a bit of prior knowledge on tactical board games. Not Furry

Pilot's log ( Pardus ) Very short into it's development, but I like Pardus. . .  Do you count Crab people as Furry?

Goblins Dungeons and Dragons setting, Humans hate Goblins, Goblins try to be peaceful and to help each other only to find humans trying to kill them. It's focused on Intelligent Goblins ( with player classes) so it could be considered furry, in a way.

Furthia High Definitely Furry. About a kid who is in a world where everyone else but him turned into a Anthro.

Yosh! I guess a parody of different animes and that, I haven't read very far into it. There's a race of catgirls. . .

Overcompensating A journal of the real, comical event's of this one guy. Not furry. ( Though to the best of my knowledge has a person that is a fur. i.e. 'We're fighting society, society's trying to remove our killer instinct, our impulse, our inner animal.' 'I bought a wolf costume on impulse, it helps me release my inner animal' 'being an anti-socialist isn't the same as being a furry.' 'Later that night, in the basement. It shows that guy dressed up in a suit with his pet thing dressed up in a fursuit to and he says: ' We dress like this because we're mad, not because we're furries, right?' ' You make me dress up in this' )

the Maw's I've only read a bit, it's about these cat's that are intelligent, and they do stuff.

Super Effective! A comic parodying pokemon, made by the guy behind VG cat's.

Penny Arcade Everyone should know this, Video game parody/game politic/whatever they want it to be comic, I'm sure there's been mention of fur's somewhere, but. . . I don't know for sure.

Hvlaco's comic ( Penny Racer comics, it's unnamed currently ) Based off of Pokemon. Very funny but requires some knowledge of Video Game's.

I planned to start reading 'Suburban Jungle' or something like that, but I didn't get around to it.

 Better Day's. ( Though I'm realllyyyy behind. ) Already been mentioned

And Fur Will Fly A human is sent to a different reality where Anthro's rule. They think he's a furless monkey. Definely furry.

. . . I may add more soon.

I like Better Days, though I agree the whole super sekret agent thing is lame as all get out. I mean I get that he wanted to do something cool, but... he just kinda went a step too far in the Dreams of Little Boys direction. (My dad is a super sekret agent!)

Anyway, most of my favourite comics rely pretty heavily on clever word-play and linguistic humour as opposed to site gags or shock humour. Oh, and for some reason, they all enjoy the 'Surplus Hover-Text Joke' so if you check any of these out, remember to read the hover-text at the end.

Achewood (http://www.achewood.com/) is fantastic. If you're mostly in it for the art, then maybe give it a pass. The art is crude at best(though it is, by proxy, a furry comic). But it has the best writing(narrative and dialogue) around, and it is one of the few legitimately funny comics I've read. It actually has plots and a sense of continuity without taking itself too seriously, and doesn't rely on gags like most comics. So yeah, it's in my opinion the most solid comic on the net.

Pictures for Sad Children (http://picturesforsadchildren.com/) is perhaps even less well drawn, but almost pointedly so. It is adorable, and has a particular kind of humour that I find difficult to pin down. It is deceptively clever, but has the appearance of being quite unintelligent at first glance. Also one of a small number of comics that actually makes me laugh with any regularity. Oh, and I should note that this isn't a furry comic, but it does (briefly) include a dog who wishes it was a human, so it dresses up in a human-suit costume? I guess that is sufficient.

Dinosaur Comics (http://www.qwantz.com/) is a little hard to get. It's sort of a proof of concept gone wildly out of control. The original intent was to take a series of pictures, and fill in the dialogue differently every day. So the art never actually changes. Of course, this has been going on for years, to the point where you can more or less ignore the pictures themselves, but the dialogue itself continues to be hilarious. It is a comic about dinosaurs, what more do you want?

Harle, you're basically my new favourite person for mentioning Pictures For Sad Children.

I am also all down with Cat And Girl. There is, behold, an anthropomorphic cat, but the real joy here is the discourse. Basically, if you're a hipster, art dork, or disaffected youth, you will find things to offend you/laugh at.

Better Days is great, I stop to follow that now and then. Another I remember I liked was Namir Deiter but haven't seen that in a while.

I could have sworn I was on this forum before.. lol.

[AlanTabby]

Hmm webcomics...gonna check out some of those ya guys listed.

I only stated reading more then 1 recently, defiantely worth reading them & its nice to see how the art changes as the artist goes along.

-VG Cats- everyone knows it
-All Roses Have Thorns- a yaoi vampire story set in medieval Ireland
-Thunder and Lightning- Mage & werewolf famililar
-Fanboys- Gamer comic

*Used to read Badly Drawn Kitties too

Thats about it for regular reading!

But what's cool about Better Days is that it could have been ANYONE'S life (Well, anyone born in the mid 70's if I have this time line figured out right).  It was all entirely plausable and honestly touching as you saw the characters grow up from 10yo kids chasing girls and thinking their brothers are stupid, to common events in anyone's high school life to life after 18.  I liked the way he approached Fisk being deployed to Desert Sheild/Storm; Instead of 'Cat Boy Kills Da Iraqis' you saw more of the families point of view as they watched CNN with no idea what the outcome would be, if they would see Fisk agian or if this would be 'Vietnam: Desert Expansion Pack'.

When I read the panel for the whole secret agiant thing I just sat quietly behind my laptop with a funny look on my face, because Better Days was remarkable to me because it was just so grounded and it suddenly wasn't.

I know Jay Naylor is known for conservative politics, weapons interests and a sorta 'This is how America works' mentality.  I'd looked past that since there was really no evidence of that in Better Days and I didn't care about his personal politics; The comic was cool.  I think this new turn with Fisk is related to his political views, but he's let it take a well grounded story and made a very ungrounded turn with it.

*shrugs* I don't really read any specifically furry webcomics. Most webcomics out there are already far too established for me to get into. I've heard great things about some of them and it's a real shame I didn't get into this earlier... ah well.

Although I read VG Cats, naturally. Also Collected Curios which is pretty much furry, just not... um, exclusively so.

Other than that I read Fanboys Online, Dueling Analogs, XKCD even though I don't get most of the humour, Perry Bible Fellowship, er... yeah. *shrugs*

[Aurifer]

Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures held something for me a while ago, and still does, bit it's getting old.
Wondermark is strange and funny. I have a liking toward their type of humor.
Catharsis (catharsiscomic.com) was simply amazing when they started out, and got just a bit old. I think even JB realizes that, and tends to do more of her humorous doodles nowadays than the actual comic storyline. Some points made me laugh so hard I cried, and the beauty of other parts also made me cry. You should read the first couple years, at least.
Girly (at go-girly.com) is pretty interesting, and has a lot of that bizarre and random humor that I love. They've gotten a bit cartoony, lately, but they're in colour now!
Penny Arcade - What can I say? Certainly one of the tops. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I'm a gamer enough to appreciate everything they talk about. I also do tabletop games and card games, so I catch all those nuances. Tycho is a brilliant writer, and Gabe is a brilliant artist. They've managed to make it big, but they still have all the heart of a couple young men fresh at the world. I guess, what can you expect when you can make a living off doing what you love most?
XKCD has little graphics to speak of, and tends to sound geeky and intellectual, but that just enables them to make all those highly-technical geek-jokes that other comics can't. I love their bizarre humor and incongruity, as well.

I also have 'Least I Could Do' and 'PVPOnline', but I've not read much of them. I added them with the intention of reading them when I had literally nothing else to do. When starting a new webcomic, I've been known to go at it full-time for days.

Oh, wow. Look at all these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_webcomics

[Oni]

I read http://www.lackadaisycats.com because it has absolutely superb art and an interesting storyline. (+ formal clad felines ^.^)


 http://www.belfry.com/comics/index.php has hundreds of hyperlinks which lead to "furry" or comics which have characters that are anthropomorphic animals.

[Amorphous]

Oh man, I don't know why I didn't mention Lackadaisy. It's great.

[PyroVulpes]

Well, I completely read through Pictures For Sad Children and I'm in the middle of Sandusky right now. I also found Garfield Minus Garfield today. Who would've ever thought removing a comics furriness could so drastically improve it?

Other comics not yet mentioned that I didn't get around to listing in my first post include Bristled, Bat's in the Belfry, Starfire Agency, Faux Pas, and Project Future. After finishing Sandusky, I'll probably read through Wild Frontier. Oh, and I almost forgot, the extreme minimalist comic Eternity Street, and the very NSFW Traveller's Tomb.

[Ssargon]

Ahhhh, Garfield minus Garfield... caught that one awhile back, it really is amazing how it shifts the comic's focus. Ever since then I've looked at Garfield comics and mentally taken him out XD

Jon is a sad, lonely man.

Ah, I remember another one that let you randomise Garfield panels. Some still made sense that way, shame I've forgotten the URL...

[Harle]

I just found out about this comic; http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/ascent.php?view=archive&chapter=8107

It's called Ascent. It's not one of those continuous webcomics, I should note. It's a story, and it's come to its conclusion, so it makes for a nice one-off read. The art style and layout is very unique and interesting, and the characters and dialogue are well portrayed. The story is cute, and even has *gasp* plot twists.

One of the better comics I've read in a long time. Oh, and it has talking animals.
