Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of clever and witty comic strips. While I enjoy classics like Calvin and Hobbes and Pearls Before Swine, I’d love to explore some lesser-known gems.
Do you have any favorite comic strips—digital or print—that deserve more attention? Bonus points for sharp humor or unique art styles!
Ill just state a few of my favorites
- Cyanide and Happiness. Going for almost 20 years, maybe 20 years by now. Has both crude and witty humor
- MrLovenstein. Personal humor. Can be wholesome. Can be relatable. Kind of just how life is and how it works.
- Extra Fabulous. Like C&H, very crude but also somewhat surreal
- Oglaf. Sex. Lots of medieval setting sex. Sometimes not sex. Usually sex.
- XKCD. Smart people making smart jokes.
- Nedroid
- Questionable Content
Defunct but gold: Achewood; Cul de Sac; Hark! A Vagrant!; Perry Bible Fellowship (maybe still posting?)
Still putting out bangers: Nancy; Xkcd; Oglaf; Wondermark; KC Green; You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack
Politics: Tom the Dancing Bug; This Modern World; Kelly Comics at the Onion
Topatoco.com also has a (mostly) quality list of creators
Kind of surprised Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal hasn’t been mentioned yet. Lots of philosophical hilarity, with notes of science, religion, robots, economics, and nerd references.
As far as things that have been mentioned, seconding Perry Bible Fellowship, xkcd, the Oatmeal, and Cyanide and Happiness
