So. There's a bunch of webcomics I know, so I thought why not share them with all the people on here.

If you have any webcomics you'd like to share with me, just post a comment here. I'll be certain to check them out.

Since my knowledge of them is bound to increase, I'll just update this entry when I can. Number up so far: 16.

Name and link: The Annals of Hearthstone
General info: Tektoonics is the name of the website; the name of the comics.... Well. It's set in the world of Hearthstone, hence the name. There are actually two different comics, set on different continents but with a great number of interconnections: the Range Patrol, and the Shrike Team.
What makes it different: First of all, there are no humans. But neither are there furries, although the races might be called that; they are based off of our animals, but aren't. Second of all, the author/artist is a professional apologist (look it up on Google if you don't know what it means), so not only is the world and religion in his comics well-thought-out, it has nothing against my beliefs.
Rating: PG for a knowledge of the darker side of life; but treating it tastefully and not revelling in it.
My opinion: One of the best webcomics I've had the fortune to read. There's something for everybody in it, and there's plenty to read.
Recommendation: If you're old enough to read this entry and understand the words at least, check it out. It's great.

Name and link: Questionable Content
General info: The name itself is fair warning. The story follows Marten, the hero (as in protagonist) only by a technicality, his AnthroPC (what it sounds like), and two other main characters who work at the Coffee of Doom.
What makes it different: It's set in a not-quite-future world, with robots, but not too much of a difference in setting. The main difference would have to be, not the plotline, but how it's done out.
Rating: R, or an extremely edgy PG-13, for language and talk of sexuality.
My opinion: It can be extremely funny at times, and the thing I love most about it is one of the characters who has severe OCD; she counts things for a living. However, it's VERY inappropriate for younger audiences.
Recommendation: You have been warned. Read the first page; if you find that objectionable, you won't like the rest of it. If you don't mind it, read the second page; if you find it funny, you will like the rest of it.

Name and link: WoT now?
General info: A Wheel of Time fancomic. VERY ridiculous if you know the series, absolutely useless if you don't.
What makes it different: One doesn't see very many WoT (Wheel of Time) fancomics; if you know any others, please tell me! It's made with sprites edited to look like the characters.
Rating: I'd say, PG for sticking-things-up-characters'-butts humour, but nothing explicit. A few pages, where the characters get stuck in South Park format (don't ask) would be rated R for language.
My opinion: Silly. Funny. Crack. If you know the series. If you don't, read the series as it's great, then read the webcomic.
Recommendation: You don't know the series, you won't get it. Much. If you do, you'll laugh your head off.

Eepage! I wish I had a fast internet connection at home and tons of free time. I love webcomics, but I seldom get a chance to read them.

For your future browsing pleasure I rec the following:
(Note: Most of these were rec'd to me by friends, and some I haven't had a chance to explore yet myself. Look at your own risk.)

A Miracle of Science
(I really should get back into reading this one.)

Avalon
(This was my fave webcomic for a long time even though it's yaoi. I named my girl cat after Tadashi.)

Alpha Shade

Commissioned Comics

Dresden Codak

Mega Tokyo

Otter Soldiers

Queen of Wands

Two Lumps

You're welcome. I know of more, but I haven't got around to bookmarking those yet. I figure these will be enough to get us started. ^_^
