webcomics I think you should be reading

Earlier this week I shared with you recommendations of webcomics that the panel at RavenCon recommended, which were, for the most part, new to me. Here is my current list of must-reads:

• Alien Loves Predator – using action figures from the Alien and Predator movies, this comic tells the story of two guys who are friends and roommates in modern-day NYC
• DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary – autobiographical, irreverant, and geeky
• The Devil’s Panties – autobiographical, irreverant, and geeky — and frequently located at science fiction & fantasy conventions
• Girls With Slingshots – “two girls, a bar, and a talking cactus”
• My Life In A Cube – office humor, often drawn on used office materials or other found objects
• Questionable Content – indie rock, coffee, hipsters, and complicated relationships — also, wicked funny
• Sheldon – about a young, geeky genious living with his grandfather, a talking duck with an adopted lizard, and a pug — I don’t know what it is about the writing, but it cracks me up every time
• Shelf Check – social commentary and public library worklife
• Unshelved – written by a librarian, drawn by a cartoonist
• User Friendly – poorly drawn, but often rather amusing glimpses of the trials and tribulations of working at a small ISP
• Wondermark – historical line drawings remixed with a healthy dose of humor and pacing
• xkcd – “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”
