The internet isn’t all hardcore technology, Web 2.0 and gadgets - there are plenty of ways the net brings older occupations up to date. For those of us who have grown up reading both newspaper strips and store-bought comics, the internet is a treasure trove of great graphical illustration and cutting wit.
Here, then, is an assembly of my favourite 10 web-based comics. You might agree or disagree - feel free to let me know in the comments!

But you forgot Applegeeks! http://www.applegeeks.com, Wonderfully drawn, quirky and funny. Although, as the name implies, very Apple slanted.
Oh! And VG Cats, http://www.vgcats.com. Another gamer comic, often socially unacceptable but very funny. Not for the kiddos though.
No http://www.schlockmercenary.com which is my joint fave along with http://www.collectedcurios.com
Nice selection though, which has added some more comics to my list.
Personally I think XKCD should have been higher, but that’s just my opinion. Have you seen Cyanide and Happiness? That’s one of my favorites. You can find it at: http://www.explosm.net/comics

You guys forgot http://www.myextralife.com Scott Johnson does awesome geeky comics not to mention a fantastic community feel to the site in general.
The only two web comics that are even worth reading are Minus and The Non-adventures of Wonderella.
Solid list, a few I hadn’t heard of before that I might have to check out, but what no love for Sluggy Freelance? (and if you’ve somehow missed it in the decade it’s been around… well you’ve got some reading to do… http://www.sluggy.com )
The webcomic reviews were a neat surprise! While I already read many of those you reviewed, and would certainly put xkcd higher on the list, I was glad to hear your opinioons and now have a couple new webcomics to read 
I love this show. Keep up the good work!
you missed http://www.calvinandhobbes.com/ 
You forgot The Perry Bible Fellowship, Maakies and Dr. McNinja.
Oh damn, Achewood too.
what about snafu-comics.com ? and vg cats? and minus? what about wonderella?
I’m shocked that you didn’t mention http://www.GirlGenius.net - absolutely brilliant stuff for anyone who appreciates steampunk!
And although updates have been erratic - I do enjoy the humor of http://www.OhMyGods.co.uk
Hey, gratz guys on being a ‘featured podcast’ on the iTunes store!
I love hobotopia! is really fun :D… Another oine that i love, with a excellent quality is girl genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/), that for me, is the best web-comic!
Hey, isn’t http://www.OhMyGods.co.uk/ that site that stole art from Little Gamers, like 200 years ago? Nice to see that at least Little Gamers evolved the art more than that joke
You somehow mixed a panel of Machall in with MegaTokyo. http://www.Machall.com no longer updates but its archive is a fun read nevertheless.
A list of the ten best certainly needs Schlock Mercenary, Sluggy Freelance (online for ten years now, featured on NPR!), Girl Genius, and not to forget Sinfest (www.sinfest.net).
http://www.pvponline.com
i think kurtz is very funny.
http://www.starslipcrisis.com by his buddy kris straub is a little more silent but just as good.
you can buy real book from little gamers too! 
nice list… love LG!
and pick another chair!
I hate to admit it but I like some of the comic strip bloggers work. I dont check it out very often but it’s usually good for a quick laugh.
wastn one of the megatokyo comics a guestcomig from Machall? the overall best coloured comic?
and 2 bad you didnt mention long dead forum-regs
=/
what about http://questionablecontent.net/ 
DUDE?! where is ctrl+alt+del ? although you have both penny arcade and little-gamers it depends on how scientist you are or how gamer you are ^^
While praising the style of Megatokyo there was actually shown a guestcomic by the creators of http://www.mchall.com and http://www.threepanelsoul.com (the colored one), who at least deserve the same recognition.
I meant to link to http://www.machall.com of course.
I cant believe CAD didnt make the list
http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/index.php
check it out you wont be disappointed
Another great comics: http://www.sinfest.com , ttp://www.dilbert.com/comics/ , http://www.userfriendly.org/ , http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/ and http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php
no CAD — this surprised me a little.
though most the people i know either take 1 or the other between CAD and Penny Arcade, i think both hold their merits. Ethan is to me the Homer Simpson of teh interweb.
I think dresden codak and Ctrl Alt Del should both be on the list but meh
You left out cyanide and happiness!!!
http://www.explosm.net
i would personally have placed little-gamers higher
Don’t forget http://www.leasticoulddo.com/ - it’s hilarious!
I also can’t believe you left out Userfriendly, one of the longest running daily comics (just celebrated 10 years) and easily one of the best. Characters you care about, geeky enough to leave most people confused and that nice gentle sarcasm about the tech industry to let you know where they stand but without too much vitriol.
How can you possibly keep MegaTokyo in that list? It’s been slow moving and devoid of jokes for about two years now. It’s such a shame, because it used to be so good. Shame Fred’s such a wimp and can’t write storylines without whining in clichés.
I miss Pearls before Swine by Stephan Pastis!
Dude, if Achewood isn’t in your top ten, then your list is utterly invalid.
For a nerd, you’re pretty dumb.
OK. While you do lose some “geek-cred” for putting xkcd at no. 8.. its a lovely mix of webcomic..
One suggestion.. show notes.. pls
Two things,
xkcd does deserve a higher notch.
homestarrunner.com , one of the funniest websites throughout all the intertubes, was left out. It’s animated flash, yes, but it’s the home of Strong Bad e-mails, and a whole bunch of comic greatness.
Can’t believe you missed out Questionable Content! And Bunny! QC is one of the few webcomics I do regularly re-read just cause some of them are so funny!
Bunny is very good, think “Pirates Vs Ninja” with heaps of randomness thrown in. And bunnies. Lots of bunnies…
m0o
can’t miss dilbert :S
A really good site is goats.com. It is really crazy, and may not be for everyone, but try it - you might like it!
I love The Order Of The Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html). It is set in a fantasy universe and has great jokes that sometimes center around aspects of role-playing.
Go to http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootscast.html to meet the cast.
If you are a postgraduate student, you should be reading PHD comics at http://www.phdcomics.com/ It is sometimes too close to home.
