Webcomics

Okay, so I'm bored...
I know there are a number of you who are familiar with Jakkal and her webcomic, Black Tapestries, and with the coming of LoboLEO, I'm sure most of you know about Alpha Luna as well. I'm always on the lookout for good webcomics to add to my list, so my question is: How many of you read webcomics on a regular basis, and, if so, which ones?
Here's my personal list of webcomics I enjoy enough to keep current with:
Update Daily:
Kevin & Kell - [Daily]
Good webcomics that update daily are a rare thing in my book. Not as good as it once was, but worth keeping up with.
Dominic Deegan - [Daily]
Again, scores points for the daily updates. Starts out with cheap puns, but grows a storyline before long. Later on you'll see a well-done werewolf as one of the minor characters.
Update 5 Times a Week:
Akaelae - [Mon - Fri]
One of the more enjoyable storylines by Shivae Studio Webcomics. I haven't gotten through the archives for Shivae yet, but that one will probably join my list once I do.
Ozy and Millie - [Mon - Fri]
Used to be my favorite, but the quality hasn't been as great for a while now. Definitely still worth reading, though.
Update 4 Times a Week:
Black Tapestries - [Tue - Fri]
Definitely one of my favorites. Rarely are good art and an excellent storyline both found in the same place, but BT has pulled that off nicely. I prize the storyline more than the art, however. I will admit, though, that the storyline over the past three issues or so has suffered greatly. Even so, I would still rate this one more highly than most you see on this list.
Update 3 Times a Week:
8-bit Theatre - [Tue, Thu, Sat]
I've been keeping up with this one forever, and it's only been getting better and better.
Terinu - [Mon, Wed, Fri]
Excellent. My only complaints: Doesn't update more often; Rufus Brushtail's face looks very feminine to me (still my favorite character!). Great artwork.
Freefall - [Mon, Wed, Fri]
What can I say? I love it.
Faux Pas - [Mon, Wed, Fri]
Well-drawn. Enjoyable.
Update 2 Times a Week:
Better Days - [Mon, Fri]
Doesn't update very often, but generally worth the wait.
Applegeeks - [Mon, Thu]
Not one of the best on the list, but pretty good. Wish it would update more often.
Fortuna Saga - [Wed, Sat]
Decent.
Arr-Kelaan - [Tue, Fri]
An interesting idea. I think I read it just to see what's going on in the mind of the author.
9th Elsewhere - [Mon, Wed]
Should not be read in bits and pieces, but rather all in one big chunk. I'm probably going to remove this from my list, as I don't enjoy checking it every time it updates. Occasionally misses updates.
Mac Hall - [Mon, Wed]
Used to be great, but has been getting worse and worse. If it gets any worse it will probably be dropped from my list.
Update 1 Time a Week:
Inverloch - [Thu]
Only updates once a week, but usually uploads 3 - 5 pages at once. Beautiful artwork and great story. Of those on my list, this is the one I look forward to reading the most.
HellBound - [Thu]
A recent discovery -- we'll see if I like it enough to keep it on the list.
Alpha Luna - [Mon]
Looking good so far. One of the better manga-style webcomics I've seen. It's short as of yet, but the story seems to be coming together nicely. The dialog could use a bit of work, but it's not bad, or anything.
VGCats - [Mon?]
Glee!
Update Inconsistently:
Alpha-Shade - [About once a week]
Updates when it updates (or, at least, I haven't detected a regular schedule), but worth the wait. Excellent art and story, but updates come infuriatingly slow.
Tales of the Questor - [Varies]
One of my favorites. RHJunior is the author of three webcomics, and the one that gets the most donations gets the most updates. ToTQ tends to get the most donations the most often, in my experience.
Nip and Tuck - [Varies]
Another enjoyable webcomic by RHJunior, but not as good as ToTQ.
Not Updating?
Tall Tails - [?]
Excellent art; excellent story. Definitely ranks up there with the best on my list. However, it has not updated for a rather long period of time now, which is very sad.
blueAbyss - [?]
Could be very, very good -- if it only updated. *sigh* Used to update once a week, then there was a nasty 7 month hiatus. Now the author is promising once a month at worst, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.
