The Invisible Life of Poet is a webcomic by
Christopher Stetson Wilson that's been published weekly for three and a half years. It features the adventures of nerdy high school student Poet and his retinue (mostly his friend Ben). There are many ways to navigate the
archive. For a quality skim, check out the
author's favorites. If you want a more indepth look you can check out the tag categories,
characters (e.g.
Seph the Corruptor,
Coach Fathead),
contemporary issues (e.g.
class warfare,
gender issues),
culture and society (e.g.
mass media,
religion),
hyperreality (e.g.
board games,
hallucinations),
miscellaneous (e.g.
great art,
lowbrow humor) and
psycho-social constructs (e.g.
bullying,
love and seduction).

Make mine Maakies Tony Millionaire (who also does related comic
Sock Monkey) has all of his sea-faring katzenjammers online.
No direct links (curse you, frames!) but you can browse from
here. The later ones are better (especially in the 540 range), but all are fun.

When I was in college in the early 90s (B.W. -- before web), I used to subscribe to the daily newspaper just to get my comics fix every morning (back when Bill Waterson, Gary Larson, and Berkeley Breathed were king). Then the web came along and I had to suffer through
the only (unfunny) cartoonist to embrace the web. But not anymore. With stuff like
Comics-via-RSS and
Comictastic I can fire up an app and start laughing every morning. I doubt I ever buy a newspaper again for the funny pages, and on top of that, these even let me avoid
the lame ones I don't care about.
