I think it was Sinfest, at least that was the first one I remember.

NO idea HOW I found it.

Actually, hang a sec. Mine WAS Redmeat too... but I was reading it on paper first, then I got shown the website. Thin H Line was after I ran out of Redmeat. :|

Yep, my own.

I didn't read webcomics before a mate told me I was gonna draw one for him. The first one I really read was therefore mine as I was writing the bugger.

Buggered if I know what the first one I officially saw (as in went looking for something to read) was.

Hehe! I was *forced* to read it by an old punk/ex-politician I lived with when I was 17... he was a major fan of red meat. He could talk crud about the comic for like days and tried his own abortive attempts to make a comic... they failed, by the by.

I can't remember that far back. But it may have been 1/0.

I can't remember that far back either. I think it might have been 8-bit Theatre that I found due to a link on Fark

The long dead and no longer available "Marcus and MoJoe". The guy even mailed me a binder of his stuff for free!

It's what convinced me to do this for real. (Though it took another year for me to do so.)

Probably PA or Sinfest or some other popular thing. It took me about a year after to read a Keenspace comic.

'Cause, well...'Keenspace'. Eeewwwwwwwwwww...
What a rubbish signature.

Sluggy Freelance.

I was actually reading syndicated comics on the web prior to that, since my local paper didn't offer much variety in its funny pages. There was some hub that linked to all these syndicated comic sites, and there was a tiny little section on there for "Web Comics". There were really only a handful of links at that time, and a title like 'Sluggy Freelance' tends to stick out from the crowd. Ah, the 90's.
