I love Walt Kelly's art work . I also love the comic strip created by Walt Kelly called Pogo. Man I wish Pogo was still around. Walt Kelly was a great artist and created a wonderful comic strip. Check this blog out that was created by a Kelly fan.

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).

American Elf is a daily diary comic by James Kochalka. The latest strip is always free but the archives are subscription only. He also a musician, his most famous song being
Hockey Monkey, and he has number of songs up for free on his site.
[via Eddie Campbell who says: "Beginning in 1998 Kochalka took the form of daily strip and imbued it with a life that has been missing from it for a long time. Since then he has made sure his daily round is not finished until a strip is done. Another thing I like about it is the way he carefully avoids any taint of 'continuity'. There is no story here, just the eternal incidentalness of life as it is lived."]

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.

Oubapo America is a project to identify and explore constraints in Comics. It is the American cousin of the French
Oubapo project which shares the same goals.
Example: "Draw a comic that is 26 panels long where each panel features in some way the corresponding letter of the alphabet". If this sounds familiar, you may be thinking of
Oulipo.
