I find it especially funny that he's doing all this feminist stuff and is still doing the stereotypical "lolz, lady porn is just helpful men" joke. That said, "fancy meatballs" made me giggle.
 
Is Dumbing of Age any good? I like the Walkyverse characters a lot and revisit it every few years but rebooting the series seems like it might cheapen that.
 
It seems as though Kevin and Kell may be the longest continuous running web comic:

http://www.kevinandkell.com/

Started in September of 1995, and while it wasn't the first webcomic, those that appeared before it have either ended or experienced significant hiatus between then and now.

Notably Bill Holbrook writes this webcomic, and two nationally syndicated comics daily, producing an average of three colored comics a day, including large Sunday comics:

I freakin' LOVE Kevin and Kell! Though I feel its toned down a little since they ran out of characters who were secretly related to other characters.

I believe he has had help with the coloring, pretty sure that Isabel Marks helps out when she's not feeling unhealthy.
Also I checked on Sluggy Freelance and Nukees, both of those have 'only' been going since 1997.

I'm really surprised I don't see Erfworld talked about more on here. That may be the single best webcomic I've read.
 
I actually took Erfworld off my rotation. I'm sure I'll go back to it some day but Chapter 2 or whatever was not living up to 1 in my opinion.

I've been frustrated with it's update schedule. Does anyone know if "Peace Through Superior Firepower" has any chance of being released as an eBook collection? It's a good read, but I hate trying to read in pre-defined chunks on someone else's schedule.
 
Anyone else still reading Evil Inc? I still like, though that story line where Captain Heroic cheated on Miss Match after he forgot his marriage made me feel REALLY uncomfortable. Also, is it me or has Lightning Lady become a worse person since the Greystone Inn days? She used to come off as funny evil, now she feels straight up evil-evil. Maybe she became more evil after the stark revelation that she's the last surviving Expy.
 
I read Evil Inc. and while it is still a decent comic I must say it feels like it is missing something lately, for some reason it just feels like it is lacking. And I will agree Captain Heroic cheating on Miss Match was weird even if he lost his memories of his marriage.




Also today's Cyanide and Happiness is pretty good today

Ladies and gentlemen I give you-HEAVY HANDED SATIRE!

Double points for being ambiguous on what the hell its mocking. Propaganda, violent video games in general, America's maltreatment of the world, WHOSE TO SAY?! All I know is that it takes obnoxious satire to a whooooooooole new level, and makes me feel like a chump for checking up on Sinfest to see if its become good again.

Also-BRING BACK GOD THE DRAGON AND BUDHA! THEY WERE FUNNY!

And today it's a joke about running out of toilet paper and not realizing until too late. I guess maybe even he thought he was laying it on a little thick and needed a break.
 
...okay after seeing today's comic I can only assume Tat is reading this. ALSO BRING BACK MONIQUE'S OLD HAIR CUT! And no its not because she looked more attractive, but because its iconic! If it wasn't, why didn't you change the banner to have her with her more shaved cut? Because she looks boring, and I assume the reason you draw her like that now is because she is easy to draw. Also, explain how the devil got in charge of the patriarchy and WHY. The devil is about sin and chaos, the patriarchy is all about control and order. Makes NO sense.

The Struggle (™) will continue regardless of the lack of logic or the actual effects of The Struggle (™). The Struggle (™) is eternal and neverending, and if The Struggle (™) runs out of opponents to demonize, The Struggle (™) will simply pick additional ones, more or less at random. Are you down with The Struggle (™)?

Actually the Devil in SF has always been a control, observation and corruption type. This is common for devils. Demons on the other hand, are always Chaotic Evil.

The two have fought for millenia as a result.
 
Actually I remember in early Sinfest days the devil was in an argument with God on how evil came with freedom, and over time he was written into a more corrupting and controlling force. Not saying your wrong, the character he became being in control of the patriarchy does make sense now that I think about it. Though I still think its odd how he changed from simple satire of evil ...to basic bad guy.
 
I don't know about movies or whatever but Magnolia Porter and I sure as hell have some similar opinions about TV shows.
 
...Is Tat actually poking fun at the Sisterhood now?
Yeah its weird right? I know he mocks cop shows the day after, but its still a step in the right direction.
Edit: Well really its not the making fun of cop shows that bothers me, its just that I get annoyed that almost all his parodies have the damn word patriarchy in them.

Well, hesitant as I am to interrupt our sinfest hatefest, I have to point out (And I know it's damn near sacrilege to say this around here) that Ctrl-alt-del hits the nail squarely on the head today. Cowboysaur. Cracked. Me. Up.

Okay, I gotta admit, that was hilarious.

Also, in regards of Sinfest... You should see the debates that follow the Sisterhood strips on their forums. Our forum fights are pretty damn civil compared to those. Heck, I considered posting a response to one such strip - but decided against it, seeing how suggesting that the Sisterhood might not be the good guys instantly gets you labeled as a woman-hater.
 
I removed Sinfest from my bookmarks today. It was never really in my Top 10 or whatever anyway, but it was inocuous enough to keep going to every day. But I'm getting kinda sick of rolling my eyes every morning hoping that this phase will pass.
