hmmmm. I should just type up a whole list of comics and get this out of the way. Check back in a bit, I've gotta wrack my brain for this cause I don't use bookmarks.
EDIT: Well this isn't a complete list, but here's a rundown of most of the stuff I'm reading now or have read. I don't guarantee these will be good, but here in no particular order: 8-bit Theater
Excellent Sprite comic. If you don't know it, shame on you. Bob and George
This is where sprite comics basically started. It's alright, but it's supposedly ending soon. Penny Arcade
Does it need an intro? Very well known video game comic. Funny? That's for you to decide. Real Life
Maybe but not quite a video game comic. It has it's moments. VG Cats
Amusing video game comic featuring cats I guess. Worth a look. Ozy and Millie
Definitely influenced by Calvin and Hobbes. Pretty good stuff. Krakow
Maybe you like it, maybe you don't. Not a regular of mine but here it is anyway. Chugworth Academy
Not sure what to say about this one. Not always something I'd read at work though. Loserz
Not really updating right now, not always appropriate at work, not really sure why I read it. Punks and Nerds
They stabbed Shawn Handyside with a sharpie? Not a frequent updater, but it's there. Bigger than Cheeses
A bit juvenile, but it's interesting to see the great strides in the art from beginning to current. Apple Geeks
I only recently finally read this. It's quite good actually. Elf Only Inn
Mentioned on OB here before, it's not a bad read. Order of the Stick/Erfworld
2 comics here. OOTS is awesome to me, but it a D&D thing so maybe it's not for everyone. Erfworld is kinda new, but funny thus far. Goblins
This one kinda grows on you. Two Kinds
I normally wouldn't touch a comic like this, but it's managed to bring me back, so it must have some merit. Girl Genius
This is a print comic that went online a while back. They are slowly releasing a backlog of comics to catch up to where the story is at now. It's pretty good stuff. Inverloch
Elves. It's done pretty good though. Updates are very slow right now. Author was ill for a time and is recovering. EarthSong Saga
*shrugs* seems like the imaginings of a little girl, but it comes together pretty well. Errant Story
I don't know. I like it. Occasionally NSFW I suppose, though rarely. Abstract Gender
Boys turn into girls. Not overly professional, but it's good enough. Misfile
Boy turns into girl again, but with irresponsible angels and stuff. Building12
Same artist as Misfile. Pretty odd/random. Not being worked on at this time, basically ended. More or less has an ending at least. Flipside
I like this one. It occurs to me I read a lot of stuff that threatens to be NSFW though. Hmmm... Sorethumbs
Another comic I randomly read when I had too much free time. No Pink Ponies
Same story as above. Just had some free time.
Yami No Tanai
The artist for this one is a member here actually. Early comics are a bit hard to read but it gets better as you go.
Spelling the Vacuum
Many people here know this one. Elliott kinda stopped making them though. L33t Pixelz
Another one known to many here, Q-Tip doesn't update this either anymore.
Kid Radd
This one is complete. It is awsome though.
I know a lot of people don't really like him, but ctrlaltdelete IS a pretty good webcomic I think.
Also, I have to give a second plug to kid radd. Because though its been finished for a number of years now, its still one of the most original sprite comics out there. Its animated presentation also rivals none.
Minus is good stuff. I recommend Sam and Fuzzy. It's got a gigantic archive, but it's been pretty good throughout all of it, and it's got a surprisingly good story. Also Killer Robots From Space is essentially Sienfield, but with robots.
I know. I don't know how many times I've gone through that comic. It's just such a great story.
X, I read half of the comics you listed, too. I must recommend Least I Could Do. It has its ups and downs, but it consistently makes me at least chuckle a little.
Also, lowroad is a comic I just recently found and read through. It's pretty good.
These are the ones I check daily. Right now I can't really be arsed to point out the gems.
Alright, I guess I have time now, check out (in somewhat alphabetical order, just search my del.icio.us links)
Dinosaur Comics
Dresden Codak
Felt Up
Gunnerkrigg Court
Girly
Friend Bear
Nintendo Super Squad
Terror Island
Thinkin' Lincoln
xkcd
Tile
Order of the Stick
Lucid TV
Isotown
Antiseptic Poetry
Any other ones I'm sure were mentioned, as well as a few of the ones I have here.
Aww, I can't believe noone mentioned Three Panel Soul, the new project by the people who brought you by the people who brought you Machall. I would post a link for that, but that site is down.
Also, this one is just awesome at every turn, Gone With The Blastwave. It rarely updates anymore, but when it does, it's well worth it.
Another one of my favorites is Supafine, which has four comic series! First was their classic, and finished series, Supafine. Second was one that got dropped because they had no fucking clue what they were doing, Fantasticness. Third and Fourth are the two they're working on right now, varying between them as they please, Nick Trigger: Ace Dick, and Ninja Death Star Man.
Well, that's all I got for now. I think I'll go, like, uh, smoke pot or something.
Livejournal is a crazy fount of comicking:
* penrod-pulaski (inspired by schulz and tomine)
* normallife (cute, but recently a tad emo)
* ultra-coletron (fluid style and enthusiasm to spare)
* capn-special (angry lines and raw energy)
(The last two can be a bit foul-mouthed at times, FYI.)
Oh, that reminds me, if anyone here doesn't read The Adventures of Dr. McNinja there is something physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually wrong with you.
The latest storyline begins with zombie Ben Franklin singing "Thriller" with a crowd of ninjas!!
I'm a big Doctor Cat fan! And they just posted a new update and everything!
Go read We Are Become Pals too. It's a miniseries comic/short story written by Joey Comeau and illustrated by Jess Fink (I hope you've been reading their individual works as well). The series just ended a few days ago and is a quick and also excellent read!
I didn't recognize this thread and read it from the beginning. I was about to correct X'o'Lore on the correct link to Spelling the Vacuum (Elliot's site is dead, but some mysterious do-gooder known only as "Andrew" uploaded a mirror to http://spellingthevacuum.com/ ), and then realized that the post was from 2007.
I'm not editing my old post. Nevermind that I don't read like half those comics anymore because they are either dead and/or done. Instead I read a bunch of other comics. Which are probably not in this thread. Hmmm. Y'know I suppose I could compile a new list.
EDIT: Ok I just wrote up a list of comics that have not been mentioned in this thread and are maybe not overly obvious (like mspa) and it's up to like 45 comics. Well some of them are actually multiple comics so maybe it's closer to 50? I could add more but I think I'm cutting my self off lest some poor soul try to actually read through them all.
I'll maybe dig up links and add some comments another day and post it then.

EDIT: Fixed the links.
http://pbfcomics.com is awesome.
Also, if you're a fan of the Guilty Gear series, http://holyzen.pixelatedempire.net/ is hilarious, although his update schedule is extremely erratic.

Elftor is totally classic Pfeiffer.
...
and Zelda Comic is by Mario.

I would have added it myself if he hadn't mentioned it already.
