Good comics to read

This is just a tiny subset of the comics I read, focusing on the ones that I feel are particularly excellent and which you probably haven't heard of. They're in roughly alphabetical order, more or less.

Bad Gods: Lore Sjöberg (of former Brunching Shuttlecocks fame) occasionally cracks wise.

Bunny: Frequently entertaining, usually baffling.

Dumm Comics: A webcomic collective consisting of several professional animators.

Gone With the Blastwave: If you enjoy any sort of online team game you'll probably enjoy this (its updates are sporadic, but the artwork is beautiful).

Kiwis By Beat: A few different comic series. Minus is particularly good.

Grumble: Like a comic from the world of the Codex Seraphinianus

Herman the Manatee: Manatees are people too. A distinct and refreshing lack of characters named "Hugh."

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: The life and times of the raddest and best superhero ever, when she feels like it.

Rusty and Co.: Three classic D&D monsters take the adventure into their own hands.

Shaenon Garrity: San Francisco-based cartoonist and comic writer. Narbonic (completed) and Skin Horse (current, daily) are must-reads. Li'l Mell (sporadic) is an alternate-universe back story for one of the characters in Narbonic.

Slow Wave: Jesse Reklaw makes comics based on peoples' submitted dreams.

Three Panel Soul: Journal Autobiographical Inspired by actual events.

Weesh: A charming little comic about three kids and a not-quite-imaginary friend.

We The Robots: Just like real life, except with robots. Rarely updates anymore.

Xeno's Arrow: The life of a young orphaned sentient whose species has all but vanished (much like the update schedule, sadly).

Comic-oriented weblogs

Artpatient: Your webcomic is atypical and you should feel atypical.

Luprand's Webcomic Musings: Honest webcomic reviews, without the incessant posturing or snark of others.

Other resources

Webcomics Nation: A decent no-frills free webcomic hosting site, with a much better community than the other well-known ones.

Blambot: Pretty good comic lettering/effect/title fonts, many of which are free for non-commercial use.

FontStruct: Flash app; make your own fonts. Surprisingly powerful.
