Good webcomics

Are there any good webcomics you guys would recommend? By "good", I mean:

1. Something that has some proper, interesting story going on.
2. Something that is relatively well-drawn.
3. And, hopefully, is still ongoing.

I admit that my perfect webcomic happens to be Narbonic, which was extremely well written and was tolerably looking even in its first episodes (then, it got much better!). But it's finished now... Recently, I got into Grrl Power, which is... okay, I guess, although not great.

Is there anything else worth reading along?

Re: Good webcomics

I really enjoyed "Darths and Droids", not drawn though... but very funny poke at Role Playing (and Star Wars Ep. 1-3)

Re: Good webcomics

Well, if you want well drawn - giant in the playground is not the site for you - but, I happen to feel that the comics therein are quite hilarious.  Order of the Stick is stick figure drawings, colored - but funny and a great parody of DnD 3.0/3.5.

Erfworld is a bit better on drawings, but is much more "seriously-funny" than Order of the Stick.  Definitely makes you want to build a strategy game.

Re: Good webcomics

I'm enjoying Blue Milk Special.  It's a Star Wars spoof.  It mainly covers the movies, doing their own amusing take on it, but has included the Specials and books.  At the moment they are near the start of Return of the Jedi.

Re: Good webcomics

I will second ErfWorld.

I'm also a big fan of Sluggy Freelance, but that one has a huge archive of comics, and I think the artist/author is bringing the entire thing to a close. (Based upon his previous work, though, that may take several years.)

Re: Good webcomics

Gunnerkrigg Court is good. Science/magic/mythologies/etc all clashing into a very particular mix of weird.

Paranatural is also alot of fun. A bit slower updating but the art and humor are both amazing.

Re: Good webcomics

I am saddened to see that nobody has yet recommended Dr. McNinja.

It's just as ridiculous as the name implies, and is very well drawn, updates on a regular schedule, and has a continual story.

Re: Good webcomics

I can't believe this list is missing Goblins! It's the best RPG related comic strip I think! Knights of the Dinner Table is another good one!
