At first this topic was just an excuse for me to gush about my favorite webcomic,
but then I saw there really wasn't any place for anything like this, so this topic is actually a place for ALL of us to gush about our favorite webcomics ;D
Im always looking for new stuff to read! So let's share, eh?
Prague Race
AWESOME ART AWESOME STORY AWESOME CHARACTERS PLEASE READ
"Prague Race is a comedy horror story, and it offers a softly satirical views of the fantasy genre. It might have some heavy imaginery, and it's not suitable for minors or sensitive readers!"
Honestly though, it's not really horror like spooky scary things, but its got monsters and stuff. It's really good. I'm sorry I'm awful at explaining plot.
http://www.praguerace.com/comic/start (http://www.praguerace.com/comic/start)
Monsterkind
"Monsterkind is a story about humans and monsters living in a country ruled by segregation and inequality. Monsters are treated as second class citizens, and are not allowed in certain areas of the country- especially those inhabited by wealthier humans.
Wallace Foster is a human who has just been transferred into District C of Fairway. He has never lived among monsters until now, but he's quickly realizing that they aren't as bad as everyone has made them out to be.
Change and progression have never come easy in this backwards world, but perhaps Wallace can help close the gap between human and monsterkind and bring the two together in harmony. He'll at least try."

Girl Genius
STEAMPUNK. This one is huge, and still going, and its funny and great and I love it. It's got a special quirkiness, you can tell the author's really love what they do.
ADVENTURE ROMANCE MAD SCIENCE!

Paranatural
It's really funny and I love it!
"Paranatural is a comedy/action comic about a group of superpowered middle schoolers fighting evil spirits and investigating paranormal activity in their hometown."
(the author/artist of Paranatural is dating the author/writer of Monsterkind :) )
http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1 (http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1)
Zoophobia
Not to be confused with the new Disney movie ;)
Cameron, desperate for a new job, promises she'll go anywhere. She ends up getting way more than what she bargained for.
http://zoophobiacomic.com/post/127351123949 (http://zoophobiacomic.com/post/127351123949)
Cool so that's that. Feel free to recommend your faves!!
You like Girl Genius too? That webcomic is awesome! (And the castle is equally awesome.)
One comic I know that is enjoyable is called Free Fall. It's been going since 1998, so it has quite a few references that younger readers wouldn't necessarily get. It's set up in a three panel comic strip format, so every strip usually has it's own humor in addition to the ongoing story. They update on Wednesday and Friday, I believe. http://freefall.purrsia.com/ffdex.htm
Short gist: An incompetent alien in an environment suit and his robot need and engineer to help them get their ship flying. . . But the engineer they get isn't a petty crook like they are, and is a biologically engineered animal that will bring them in and out of trouble.
Jet might say this one, but:
Looking for Group is a fantasy webcomic based on World of Warcraft, centered around an elf trying to do the right thing. A warlock, a mage, and a minotaur are his companions, through trial and error, humor and comedic tragedy.
http://www.lfg.co
Hmm, Cyanide and Happiness gets some laughs, but it isn't very appropriate, so don't go there if you don't like all them standard adult themes and things. Extra Fabulous Comics was also pretty good.
I second recommendations for Paranatural and Looking For Group.
I also recommend Namesake:
http://namesakecomic.com/comic/the-journey-begins
It's about these people called Namesakes who share the names of fictional protagonists and get sucked into the story to make sure it goes the right way. So why has Emma Crewe been sucked into Oz to take the role of Dorothy? And who are the mysterious Rippers that are buying people's names? Something is not right here.
I imagine everyone knows what Homestuck is by now but to reiterate; Homestuck is about four thirteen year-old children who play a game which none of them know anything about. As it turns out, the game is an immersive simulation game that allows the players to manipulate the real world. It just so happens that the game also summons meteors to decimate the planet and the protagonists have to escape into the game itself. That's really all I can say without too many spoilers and without it getting confusing.
I forgot to say NEO-KOSMOS
Its this great sci-fi comic, set up similarly to Homestuck but its way newer and different.
"NEOKOSMOS is a sci-fi adventure webcomic about kids in space. The format is inspired by adventure games, MSPA, and animation. Our goal with NEOKOSMOS is to approach comic creation with a cartoon mindset! "
I love it.

I've been making a surprisingly popular Five Nights at Freddy's comic since last January, and also one with my own characters, focusing on a cat named Wonder who gets framed for a crime...does that count? XD
Only if my webcomic that doesn't even exist yet because I don't have time to draw it counts. ;)Seriously though, that's cool! How long is it?

I just viewed your DeviantArt like 10 minutes ago. The most recent deviation was page 33. Imma go look again...
@Ashleg how about a link to both page ones?
Okay, I found page 34. The weird thing is, though, that I'm watching you, and I never got told that you'd posted it (or any other new deviations, for that matter).

Yeah Skarzs! Girl Genius was pretty much my first webcomic, I accidentally lost it once I caught up, I keep meaning to read it again, but its SO BIG
Though not nearly as big as Homestuck, of course
It is really big.
Though I have no idea how Homestuck got so massive. . .
I love me a webcomic. I like Cheer Up, Emo Kid most. Then The Oatmeal, Loading Artist, Cyanide and Happiness, Randowis and Extra Fabulous Comics (last one is only ok).

Homestuck is basically the internet distilled into a comic. It's big because it's on the internet where the craziest people live. It has a crazy plot, complex characters, memes, horror and humour. That's basically the combination you need to get big on the internet. Also, effort justification factors in, but I'm not going to get into that.
How long has it been around? They nut be uploading two or three pages a day from the length you described.
What about Beyond the Western Deep? It's a very good comic in the style of Redwall. I need to catch up on it...
Quote from: Skarzs on March 30, 2016, 11:15:26 PM

Homestuck is the longest work of the English language, with, I believe, over 7000 pages. April 13 will be its 7th anniversary. The updating has been highly sporadic and never reliable, sometimes being updated once a day for weeks, or going on hiatus for months at a time.
.
Read through yours today Ash! Well done!
And I started Beyond the Western Deep today. It looked interesting, I'll definitely be reading more later.
The one with the talking raccoon and the girl named Sarah. It was called Boo, or Bootz, or Blue or something. I think.
Homesttuuck.
Sandra and Woo, that's the talking raccoon one
Quote from: Bonaparte on April 01, 2016, 04:39:31 PM
Sandra and Woo, that's the talking raccoon one
I love that one!
I can't believe that Hussie plans to end Homestuck in twelve days. I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER!
Boy howdy is it really only 12 days?? geez I'm really not ready.
Lol.
So Homestuck updated. And the EOA6 flash blows all others out of the water. Now we've just got Act 7 left and then it'll be over.
I love the Awkward Yeti.
Everyone here loves anthropomorphic animals, so ya'll should love this webcomic.
LACKADAISY: a comic about cat bootleggers set during the 1920s in America! The art is amazing, its super funny, the story is swell, the characters are fantastic.... there's minor language, but there's definitely a bit of violence.

Ah, Lackadaisy! I have heard of it but haven't got some spare time to read it. Maybe I would.
I really should catch up with Lackadaisy, if only for Mordecai.
I kinda like that art style. Might check it out.
Any one read The Silver Eye? http://www.thesilvereye.com/ (http://www.thesilvereye.com/) I have to get caught up myself.

So I've been reading Paranatural again and wow I was unobservant/forgetful when I read it the first time. I forgot about [REDACTED] being the medium for a shadow spirit, and about [REDACTED] possessing [REDACTED]. Also I'm pretty sure [REDACTED] is a ghost now. Also [REDACTED] had metaphorical spectral energy in the hitball scene. BUT NOTHING ON SCREEN IN PARANATURAL IS EVER METAPHORICAL! So is [REDACTED] a spectral? Also completely missed how Isaac (really weird reading about a character with my name) and Mr. Spender push each others buttons so much because they're so similar. I also found Isaac really annoying last readthrough, but now I sympathise with him a lot.
Considering the latest update, are [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] dating?
:O i forgot about paranatural
i think it's been a year since i last read it? so im a year behind in updates
oddly enough, im reading a different webcomic thats written by the girlfriend/fiance of the author of paranatural

The problem is that you didn't link directly to the images - rather, you linked to the pages they displayed them on. :P I can't actually figure out right now how to get the direct links, but maybe that's 'cause I'm on a Kindle. (Usually, you can right-click on an image and choose either "open image in new tab" or "copy image", and that way you'll get the direct URL.)
The art is gorgeous! :o Here's the links so you can see the images Brocktress posted: http://www.spindrift-comic.com/comic/02/0 http://www.spindrift-comic.com/comic/02/77
So is the comic totally clean?
Sorry about that, I fixed it. I accidentally copied the page address not the image address. Let me read back through the comic real quick, but from what I remember there might be some semi nudity on one or two pages. I probably wouldn't recommend it for a younger audience.
Warning of any inappropriate content in Spindrift:
Spoiler
Edit: I found the page where it was. It's on page 27 and 28 of chapter one, it's a panel with a topless woman. But that's the only place I can think that there's something inappropriate.
Aha, yeah. I've already read through the prologue, and there was a bit of nudity and implied... stuff. Still, I'll keep reading if there's not much worse.
EDIT: Eh, well, there was more adulty stuff at one point, like you said (that scene made me rather uncomfortable, not least because they weren't actually married), but I'VE ALREADY FINISHED IT NOOOOOOO
I love the art so much.
Okay, so you guys HAVE to read The Silver Eye (http://thesilvereye.com). It's pretty confusing at first, but if you pay attention and consult the character list occasionally, you'll really like it. It's clean. I'm most of the way through chapter seven.
@Skarzs This video might help to answer your question about why Homestuck is so big. Since this is a Homestuck video, I'll just say that there's no content that might be considered objectionable.
Cody, child, do you need therapy? WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ONLY GOOD AS A WEAPON?? YOU ARE TWELVE YEARS OLD THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!!!
I found a gorgeous webcomic called Scurry (http://scurrycomic.com) and have caught up on everything posted so far. It's about mice trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where all the humans are gone. It's kinda a mashup of Secret of NIMH/Watership Down/Warriors, and the artwork is stunning.

Looks like it
can be sent to you in book form...so I might have to get it.
I love this sort of thing but there's something about reading online that makes me lose focus.
Sharp/Zero is good, but frustratingly infrequent with updating. It's a superhero comic about this guy called Elliot who is not a superhero, but then becomes one through rather unconventional means. Warning for gayness.
Namesake is fantastic, but so much happens in it that you forget what's happening half the time. Still, I highly recommend it. If you read the comments, I'm the guy called "Me" with Rain's picture of my character David as my profile pic.
Hazy London is pretty good. It's on hiatus though. It's a gay love story about some dudes in an indie band.
Currently reading Something Like Summer. Wish I had enough self-control not to, since I kinda want to read the book before the comic, especially since I've already read and loved one of Jay Bell's books so I know he's a good author.
Haven't been looking at Girl Genius in ages. Last bit I was on, they were rescued from something by the bear-riding Jaegermonster.
Paranatural is still a thing that exists.
Oh, geez. Girl Genius has gone very far since then. :P
There's a webcomic I just decided to get into called Maelstrom (http://maelstromcomic.weebly.com). It's only on the third chapter so far, and the site layout is kind of annoying, but it has a lot of promise. It's set in a steampunk world (with binary moons!).
Also, here's a webcomic wiki (http://webcomics.wikia.com). It's actually where I found Scurry, and it might be useful to you guys. (Speaking of Scurry, I need to catch up on that, but I'm currently rereading Beyond the Western Deep, which I haven't read in ages. >.<)
Other than everything I already mentioned, I started reading
Snowtop School for Magical Delinquents by Hannah Hoffman, which is hilarious and adorable. There's only sixteen pages out so far, but it's still great.
Also literally everyone needs to read
Namesake (http://namesakecomic.com/comic/the-journey-begins). Just do it, you will have no regrets.
Just look at this art:
Spoiler
(http://namesakecomic.com/comics/storybegins.jpg)
Ooh, detailed, innit.
Completely forgot about White Noise and Y-Force. White Noise is awesome. Y-Force hasn't been going too long but it's good so far.
I read quite a few webcomics in my day. Some of my favorites have been:
Off-White (http://off-white.eu/)
This one is about wolves, but I don't remember much else right now, just that the art was awesome. I'm planning a re-read soon. This one is on an indefinite hiatus. I forget if it has strong language or anything, but I'm pretty sure there was at least some blood at times.
Escape to Pride Rock (and its sequels/prequels)
These comics have been taken down sadly, so if you guys haven't read them, you can't. Shame cos they were really good. They were Lion King stories that were very well thought out and had a lot of character development and I loved them a lot but oh well.
The Pokemon Hard Mode/Nuzlocke comics (http://www.nuzlocke.com/index.php)
Created by the inventor of the Nuzlocke challenge, these chronicle his adventures in Pokemon "Hard Mode" and are rather amusing, though quite weird and a bit dark at times. Can't recall if there was harsh language, but I'm thinking there was.
I think I read Off-White once. Is it the one which is kinda about Norse mythology? IT IS! Wow that was a long time ago. Good comic, but I caught up and then I forgot to check back with it.
Currently reading Countdown to Countdown. Galli put it on my radar. It's a post-apocalyptic story set in this world where there's a sort of digitised zombie virus called the Glitch which turns people into... well, glitch zombies. It's about this boy called Iris who has lived in this lab his entire life, as far as he knows, and he can pull items out of paintings, but he also has a lot of mental issues which kind of turn his powers into a living nightmare. I have no idea what's going on most of the time, I just know that I like it. It's purposely written to be confusing though, so that's not a point against it.
Did I ever mention Check! Please? If not it's about a college hockey team in Canada, which is joined by the main character, Eric "Bitty" Bittle who's a kid from Georgia (the US one). He likes baking and everything is adorable.
So, guys. Just thought I would come on here and plug my favorite webcomic: Existential Comics (http://existentialcomics.com/). It's a comic about philosophers, which is probably interesting to no one except me- but it really is hilarious, actually. Also, a good way to learn about philosophy without reading boring books. Instead, you can read funny comics!
Just watch out for comics with Freud in them. I mean, it's Freud. What do you think the joke is going to be about?
Countdown to Countdown just updated. Poor Lillium.

LOOK AT HIS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
No, I won't tell you the context.
So I stayed up all night reading Dumbing of Age (http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/home/). Honestly did not expect to get as invested in this comic as I am. It's heavy stuff.
It's a semi-autobiographical story about a fundamentalist Christian girl starting college and somehow becoming friends with a group of people her parents would regard as heathens and her struggles to rationalise their relationships. It deals with themes of prejudice, cognitive dissonance, child abuse, gender identity, gender expression, self-loathing, depression, dissociation, feminism, alcoholism, drug abuse and personal expression. It's amazing.
The main character is the semi-autobiographical part, and the semi is because the author is male.
