Wow, 8 of those are on my "everday" list of favorites. I'm really torn between Girl Genius and Order of the Stick. GG is updated 3 times a week with higher quality art than I would think possible for a web comic updated that often. OotS has a warm, snuggly place in my geek-heart. PvP is one of the first web comics I started reading daily. Least I Could Do never fails to make me laugh. xkcd is just classic."Devil's Panties"

Re: What is your favorite webcomic of the past decade?
I was just going to post this. And I agree with you. I was torn between Devils Panties, OotS, and Girl Genius. I had to give the nod to Girl Genius because it is SO good.
I saw Phil and Kaja this past fall at a convention, and it was really interesting hearing the story of why the did away with the regular old fashioned comic and went the web comic route. The short answer: Kaja had a cold and was grumpy.
If anybody here hasn't read Girl Genius, they owe it to themselves to do so. But make sure you have a lot of time, you have about 6 years of comic to catch up on!

Re: What is your favorite webcomic of the past decade?
If PBF is there, then A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible would qualify (being of primarily of archival interest... y'all might recognize the artist's work from Braid). It remains one of the most gorgeously rendered webcomics I've seen, though the writing is probably a bit dense if you're used to PVP and Penny Arcade.
For ongoing works, Tiny Kitten Teeth is a lot of fun and the art is great (they've done guest work for Penny Arcade, so might not be entirely unfamiliar). I bought the original of this one. (For the record, I also own original work by Rene Engstrom of Anders Loves Maria.)
But I'd say the absolute best thing out there right now being updated consistently is Karl Kerschl's The Abominable Charles Christopher. His art and writing are both take-your-breath-away stunning.
A lot of the comics in the poll are popular, but... ehm... mediocre as far as as the actual work goes. (I am looking at you, User Friendly.)
I'd easily vote for Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant) as my fave of those listed. Anyone who doesn't know her work seriously hasn't been paying attention. She's basically the favorite comic creator of comic creators (though Frank and Becky of TKT are close runners-up).

To be fair, adolescent power fantasy tripe is way easier to write than absurd existential horror, and every community has got to start somewhere... right?
Unless one loses a precious thing, he will never know its true value. A little light finally scratches the darkness; it lets the exhausted one face his shattered dream and realize his path cannot be walked. Can man live happily without embracing his wounded heart?

[quote="Bakhtosh"]What is your favorite webcomic of the past decade?
So many good options, I read many on this list... But then I had to stop and think. Which are my "true" favorites? And I hit a simple epiphany. Which ones have I actually given money to?
The Order of the Stick
Penny Arcade
and
Girl Genius - I actually met Phil Foglio at GenCon. I walked up to the Studio Foglio booth and asked the chubby guy behind the table when Phil would be by. I wanted to pick up some books and get him to sign them. At which point the chubby guy said "I'm Phil Foglio". Somewhat surprised, I said, more forcefully and disbelieving than I'd intended, "YOU'RE Phil Foglio?" He just looked at me and deadpanned "You're disappointed, aren't you."
(Hey, in my defense I only knew the guy from Phil & Dixie... I guess I was expecting a regular guy in a bowler hat...)
Anyway, those are the three that I've actually put my hard earned dollars towards.

Re: What is your favorite webcomic of the past decade?
I like OotS, and for some reason my friend whom I play D&D and WOW with thinks I have a lot in common with Richard from LookingForGroup.
But the not mentioned so far, but definitely fav for me is:
http://www.darthsanddroids.net/
(same guys did a similar play on the Lord of the Rings trilogy before this, if you like darths and droids, you've gotta check that out to, pretty sure there's a link someplace on the darths and droids site).

If you are referring to DM of the Rings, that's Shamus Young's work who has nothing to do with Darths and Droids other than pimping them once in awhile. That said, DMotR is pretty damn good and I believe inspired Darths and Droids (which I just could not get into). Among my favorite episodes is XXXVI.Zenn7 wrote:(same guys did a similar play on the Lord of the Rings trilogy before this, if you like darths and droids, you've gotta check that out to, pretty sure there's a link someplace on the darths and droids site).

Yes, DM of the Rings. Could have sworn they moved on to Darths and Droids, but maybe it was just the pimping I remember. DM of the RIngs was slightly better, but I strongly enjoy both of them.

Kate Beaton, social media platform nomad, has as of late been posting her sketches primarily on her Twitter feed. Many of them are about her family and are hilarious, so I thought I would collect some of the recent examples here (just links, since many of them are long vertical scrolls):

DMotR was brilliant.
The other one was decent, but not in the same class. Though I do like the off-"screen" character development that goes on with the other one.

Kate Beaton alert: on the upside, she's been posting a bunch of new family-related strips on her Twitter feed over the past week or so. As any Beaton fan knows, her family comics are reliably great.
On the downside, she's doing this to draw attention to a fundraiser for her sister, who is facing a serious case of cervical cancer.

She's compiled her recent posts on a Flickr page, including both comics and family photos. Taken as a whole, the collection is funny, warm and sad -- vignettes from the life of a vibrant young woman with an amazing family who is facing advanced cancer.

she shouldn't have looked like an upside-down alien from the perspective the two were looking at each-other though... just saying... that was like looking face to face.
Ironically, it is only without the bunk-bed scenario, where one kid is hanging off the bed/couch, and the other is on the floor where their body has the opposite field of ground to lay their body and feet against, where the 'upside-down alien face' lives.

Re: What is your favorite webcomic of the past decade?
Hark! A Vagrant is officially retired.
Thank you for reading. I can't say it enough.
Hark! A Vagrant, such as it is, is an archive website now. I didn't think it would be when I stepped away to work on other projects, but (not to kill the light mood around here) 2016-2018 were very difficult years in a personal sense, and emerging on the other side, I feel like this is a project that has run its course. I am so very grateful for all that this comic and my readers have given me, they have given me a career, joy, and more than I ever dreamed.
I'm still working on a graphic novel, and picture books for children. I miss making humour comics, but coming back to them, I will have to figure out what that will look like. These comics go back to my early 20s, and I am a different person. In a sense that's exciting. I'll figure it out, and I hope I'll see you there. Hark! is only one project, I personally am not going anywhere. And maybe next time I'll choose a title that I won't have to repeat ten times to people, a bright prospect.
I'd like to dedicate this archive to my sister Becky Beaton, who we lost in 2018, and who always believed in me. I love you, always.
