I've got a whole list of webcomics I read (semi)-regularly.

VG Cats
Joy of Tech
Fanboys ( even though it's meh at this point)
Real Life
xkcd
Geeks Next Door
Natalie Dee
Diesel Sweeties
Such Rubbish
Cyanide & Happiness
Questionable Content
Dr. McNinja
Something Positive
Digital Unrest
Customers Suck!
Nobody Scores
CAD
Penny Arcade
Random Assembly

If you like regular updates, you get daily updates (and sometimes every weekend too) from the comics in italics.

A ways back I mentioned cutting down CAD comics can actually improve them, because Tim is obsessed with his 2x2 panel layout and apparently has a thing for speech bubbles. Here's a couple examples and links to the originals.

Note: I am obviously not the original creator. However I believe this is fine because these edits are being used as a commentary on the original. (I should add "not" to the author string on these...)

Let me know if these are too big.

Just FYI, comics don't always have to be funny, sometimes the whole point is to tell a story. Just look at comic books. These days Tim has been trying to go with a more serious story at some points, just in a very serialized form. Yeah sometimes it's boring, and it's not for everyone, but obviously enough of you still read it to know what's going on, so it sounds like it's an overall success to me.

You ruined most of the gag on those comics Bicostp.

The second one and third are fine in your 3 box format.

But the first one you totally ruined the rest of the gag.

yes, whatever we think, Tim is the one who actually makes them all, so in the end he gets to write whatever the f*** he wants. He's made this point before and I particularly like it...

If you don't like it, don't read it. Complaining about him just gives him more publicity, too

That was uncalled for..........

It's uncalled for to take the piss out of a massive egotistical douche who alienated most of his fanbase?

As Explosm do, this is good.

I'll see if I can find the CADfield edit later

I'm actually surprised that Tim Buckley didn't add aload of speech bubbles in himself.
