Sorry for the downtime yesterday. (Dec 3rd) The data center that our machine is hosted at had a power failure and it took them a while to get everything back up.

This is less a regular webcomic than it is a labour of love on a unique project.
There have been many adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula. From Movie to Opera, and from dramatic to comedic.
This is a unique one. It is the adaptation of Dracula, into black and white anthropomorphic comic art. This is something I have followed since I saw it's very first page, and have kept coming back to check on the status of this grand project. It is a sporadically updated work, but that is the nature of such an adaptation. Particularly as the artist is maintaining a very high standard of quality and respect for the original work. Taking such lengths as having an entire chapter's dialogue in Russian.
This is a great demonstration that webcomics can produce rare and wonderious art.

This long running, regularly updated comic, has been giving a little dose of light humoured science fiction story telling every other week day, with occasional breaks, since 1998. In it's ten year run, it has only ever improved.
It combines good clear art work, with strong story telling, and a gentle sense of humour that will appeal to almost anyone. It is one of finest examples of furry comics, online or otherwise.

There are a number of things I enjoyed: The artist does not force the weird and awkward moments typical of the genre, I learned a LOT about car racing, the setup is unique, the archive is over 1000 comics (and well worth the read), the art is solid and consistent, and the story moves along well.
The title is self-fulfilling, and the story is terrible. Nothing redeeming at all.

Some of them, especially near the beginning are among the funniest comics I have ever read. They are quick and silly. Many border on the line of acceptability, and some are just confusing. If you read until the mermaid comic, you will not regret it.

Firstly, if you are considering it, read at least the first 50 comics. It starts VERY slow, and the story does not move quickly. It has very memorable comics, but they are few and far between. You may never enter an Apple store without smiling after it.
Comic: i *AppleGeeks AL
Story of college days, and very funny. The art is excellent, and the characters follow suit. It easily separates itself from the others in the genre.
While there are some main characters who are very well designed and have a good story going, anything else can come up as a one-shot-episode if "it does not follow". On of the greatest syndicated comics of all time in my opinion.
Comic: i *Non Sequitur
A comic about business and focusing on engineering. The author takes many of the jokes from his own experience at Pacific Bell, and the rest from readers who have terrible co-workers and bosses. It's funny 'cus it's true...
It contains breasts, but no nipples. There are a few things that make it painful to read, but the story and the main characters are very well done. The world is set up well, and there is good progress being made, and enough interesting story points to make it worth reading twice at least.
From the same guys, grown up a bit. Quick one shots in high quality black and white.
Comic: i *Three Panel Soul L
It is actually flash animations, and the language is pretty extreme. Things that might not be funny otherwise, are hilarious when uttered from the cute, high pitched voice of Foamy. The lion share of the archives are available on DVD only. Start at the bottom, those are the classics.
Comic: i *Ill Will Press ALV
This comic started with a bit of an odd situation, evolving into repedetive comedy which tickled my funnybone.. to .. uh . .'epic' battles that made me laugh all the same.. However, this is only the start. When and if the artist continues fro the poster page, I will be delighted to continue reading the story.
He does many caricatures and odd situations and anything 'R' rated is hidden in a link. He won't do the 'X' rated stuff. The most amazing part is that he does most of them in 5-10 minutes, and they look great!
Comic: i Will Draw Anything ALNV
Not only are the individual characters stunning and consistent, the backgrounds and use of space is superb. It is so shocking to find a comic of this caliber. The now completed story is compelling from start to finish and has an excellent ending.
Despite Lucia and her pals being a different species, I really feel like they have problems I can relate to. The four out of the main cast are not only likable, but are also interesting characters. I've really enjoyed each story line, and the art looks great! Please check out this awesome web comic.
The art starts out mediocre, no real storyline, and not much depth to the characters. While it IS true that it is a gamer comic, it is not completely necessary to like gaming. The characters deepen, the storyline becomes immersing, and the art tightens up nicely. Very funny with many quick gags, but the story flows and and the characters change. As a gamer comic, it starts out the same as the rest, but has risen head and shoulders above them all.

I have never before or since seen such work. The manga style drawing is rough, but it feels like it needs to be that way. The use of watercolors is stunning. I think the ideal reader is someone who is at least a little interested in DDR, but it is not necessary. The story moves well, has just the right number of chapters for a finished story, and has the perfect ending, one you could never predict.
Comic: i 10K Commotion
It is in black a white, but due to the ghost theme, the colors are transposed to dynamic effect. Funny, and quick.

Who knew it was so hard to be a badly drawn animal? This comic lets you in on the secret world of animal suffering. Don't forget to hover your mouse over the comic to get additional humorous insight!
