Webcomics = The Best.
OK, so as I already stated, I Thombrarian am a huge comix nerd. I just can't get enough of those multi-panelled narratives.
Up until recently, I read my comics pretty strictly on paper. Recently though, I've discovered a whole pile of really amazing comics on the web that I just can't get enough of.
One of the first that I totally fell in love with is Kate Beaton's Hark a Vagrant. Beaton's an ex-history student who manages to make Canadian history one of the funniest things I've ever read about. Since her site came out, she's published two anthologies on actual mashed-up tree product (1, 2), but I still love checking out her site for new content all the time.
Kate's really great at giving shout outs to other fantastic webcomic artists, and so another that I've recently discovered through her site (and have been reading voraciously) is John Allison's Bad Machinery. BM is about 
high school, dating, sea monsters, yetis, ghosts, paren'ts, football, and about a million other things, all awesome.
Finally, I recently stumbled upon this truly strange but pretty wonderful webcomic, The Songsmith's Heartland by Nick Thornbarrow. Based on an album by one of my favourite musicians, Owen Pallett (did I mention I'm a huge music nerd too?), The Songsmith's Heartland turns the songs of Pallet's record Heartland into a moving fantasy adventure, in which the protagonist Lewis becomes the hero in the strange world of Spectrum.
Do you have any webcomics that you can't get enough of? Share some below, and maybe we'll even profile them on the site!

I love the fantasy webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court by Tom Siddell.

It’s been issued in book form as well (TPL has all three volumes) but it’s also all available online. Apparen’tly Neil Gaiman is also a fan, so I’m in good company!
@ Thombrarian, do you read your comics online? is there like a specific website you go to? cause i love comics and i would like to know 😀
@ dija, I’ve started reading more and more comics online. A couple of my favourites have been available online for a while before someone gets around to printing them into an actual book.
Often, when I find a comic I really like, I check the authors’ links. Many webcomic artists are really enthusiastic about supporting the work of other artists they like and/or admire. So they can point you at other amazing artists out there!
Whoah! That one looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Kazu Kibuishi’s Copper started as a web comic, and I love it. It’s visually gorgeous, and it sometimes reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes, an old favourite of mine.
