As long as we’re trundling along recommending things like books<\/a> and movies<\/a> and whatnot, I may as well continue the trend and suggest some Webcomics that y’all might find appealing. Or not. They amuse me<\/em>, anyway. (Comics with an asterisk have additional text if you mouse over the image.)<\/p>\n

Please feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments!<\/p>\n

Para Abnormal<\/a> – Splendidly dark-and-goofy single panel comic.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Hijinks Ensue<\/a>* – “Geeking for the sake of geekery.”
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Indexed<\/a>* – Humor by way of charts, graphs, and similar infographics.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

A Softer World<\/a>* – Rather than illustrations, this comic is comprised of photographs with odd, often dark, text.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Li\u014d<\/a> – Pantomime strip involving the adventures of a little boy for whom weird, dark, supernatural stuff is loads of fun.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Oglaf!<\/a>* – NSFW<\/b>. The setting is kind of a quasi-D&D milieu, with the occasional monster and barbarian warrior and whatnot. Mostly hilariously dirty. Some storylines are multi-page, so keep an eye on the navigation.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Basic Instructions<\/a> – “How-to” advice, amusingly illustrated.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal<\/a> – Random geekery, with no set format. There’s a bonus joke if you hover over the red button at the bottom left of the comic.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Medium Large<\/a> – Peculiar, often dark, pop-culture-y sort of…thing.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Savage Chickens<\/a> – Cartoons drawn on sticky notes, heavy on the chickens.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Dork Tower<\/a> – The adventures of a group of geeks (mostly human, with the occasional muskrat). Lots of gaming jokes.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenes from a Multiverse<\/a>* – Each comic explores some new corner of the vastness that is the Multiverse.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Shoebox Blog<\/a> – The artists\/writers who create cards for Hallmark’s Shoebox division have a blog where they post random illustrations, “funny, but no” rejected card ideas, and other silliness.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Surviving the World<\/a> – “A Photocomic Education.” (There’s no additional text in the mouseover, but there’s an extra punchline in the “File Under:” line beneath the comic and<\/em> another one in each comic’s description on the archive page.)
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Text From Dog<\/a> – “My dog sends me texts. I post them here. Yeah, it’s weird.”
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella<\/a>* – Imagine if Wonder Woman was completely cynical about her job and kind of a smartass. That.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyanide and Happiness<\/a> – Simply-drawn comic which sometimes explores rather dark, edgy themes.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Tree Lobsters!<\/a>* – Geeky comic about wisecracking lobsters in a tree. I swear this actually makes sense.
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

Wondermark<\/a>* – Absurdist strip created using 19th-Century woodcuts and engravings, .
\nSample Comic<\/a><\/p>\n

xkcd<\/a>* – “A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.”
