What Webcomics Are You Reading?
July 29th, 2009
I’m always curious about what webcomics are on people’s updates. The other day, I asked on Twitter for people’s thoughts. Specifically, the ones they read at work. I collated the list from the respondents, and I got tons of answers. What have we learned?
- Those who read webcomics all read something like 10 webcomics on average, probably a lot more. In other words, people don’t just read one comic, they read a bunch.
- People read them through RSS, LiveJournal, Delicious, and Bookmarks (no real trends there).
- People who responded (and therefore I can only assume are fans of The System) seem to read a few of the same comics. Seems like the kind of thing you guys might like to know, since maybe those who aren’t reading them would like to. With that in mind they follow below.
- Johnny Wander, LICD, Z&F, Do You Work Here, PVP, XKCD, and Surviving Retail.
Well, I think that’s interesting, hopefully you guys do too. Feel free to post in the comments your favorite comics, which ones in this list you read, or even which ones in this list you dont’ read.

From that list, I read:
Johnny Wander, LICD, PVP, and XKCD (but I'll check the others out now).
As for what I read… Well, I'm up to 166 feeds in my 'Webcomics' folder in google reader. Some don't update anymore, some aren't strictly webcomics (Fleen, Pearls Before Swine, Dilbert, etc), but… damn that's a lot.

I read the following by RSS: Yehuda Moon, Wondermark, Pooch Cafe, and Bicycle Zombie Slayer. Oh, yes: and the New York Times.

I was going to copy and past the full list, directly copied from my Piperka account (http://piperka.net/profile.html?name=Johan), sadly IntenseDebate informed it was too long.
[list went here]
That's 160 webcomics, though there's about ten I've got in my Google Reader for some reason, and the list probably deserves some cutting because a bunch of those are dead.
