Other webcomics

There's GGC of course, which we all know and love, but what are some others you read?
http://www.somethingpositive.net/ is one of my favorites. I read through the entire archives in two days when I first found it. Note that the first comic doesn't really set the tone for the rest of the strips. Might want to skip this one if you don't care for irreverant humor. It centers on the pessimistic Davan and his small circle of friends as they try to muddle through thier everyday lives. It's fairly realisitc, for a webcomic. Mostly humor, though there are a couple damatic moments.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html Order of the Stick. It's based on the D&D 3.5 edition rules, but you don't have to be a hardcore D&D player to enjoy it- the jokes requiring knowledge of D&D rules don't crop up that often. It focuses on a group of adventurers fighting a lich, which is a powerful undead wizard, for those of you who aren't familiar with them. Also mostly humor with drama here and there.
http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.html Sequential Art, despite being a "furry" comic, is pretty good. Just because there are anthro animals in it doesn't neccisarily make it a comic that can only be enjoyed by furries, and there aren't any furry inside jokes that I've noticed. Plus, one of the main characters is a cute cat girl, which I think everyone can appreciate. Again, mostly humor.
http://tmi-comic.com/2005/05/05/out-of-the-nest/ Too Much Information. I don't consider it to be that great, but I find it entertaining enough to check for updates every couple days. It focuses on a computer progarmmer named Ace and his daily life, which includes vampires and ghosts. Sort of a drama.
http://venusenvy.comicgenesis.com/d/20011106.html Venus Envy, which I've linked to at least once before. It centers on a male-to-female transgender teenager, and the struggles and complications that accompany being transgender. Mostly drama and "slice-of-life".
http://www.thebookofbiff.com/ The Book of Biff. Pick a comic, any comic, and you can expect more of the same from pretty much all the others. A gag-a-day strip kinda like The Far Side. Humor.
http://xkcd.com/ XKCD, which I linked to in the "Hyphen" thread. There are a few minor story arcs that last about half a dozen strips or so. As the title bar describes it, "A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language." You kinda have to read it to really see what it's about.
Finally, http://www.nuklearpower.com/index.php 8-Bit Theatre. Probably among the most popular webcomics, it's a parody of Final Fantasy 1, though you don't neccisarily have to hve played it or even know anything about it to enjoy it, though some of the more ludicrous parts are almost directly from the game (like the bridge). It alo parodies a lot of other things as well, mostly typical nerd stuff.
