You forgot the part about him being the first webcomic artist to raise over 1 million dollars on Kickstarter, and was only beaten by Broken Age for being the first project period to raise that much, by something like 6 hours?
Atomic Robo is a former print-comic that made the switch to webcomic format a while ago, about a Tesla-built Robot and his weird science adventures through history. It’s a nice throwback to old pulp-comics with a good sense of humour.

I’m here to tell you all to read Oglaf it started out as a porn comic so it is very often 
but it’s so funny and good.
Also, even though I’m not sure she even updates it anymore because she’s very busy Lackadaisy Cats is exceptional.
And, while she has just been plagued by breaking computers and a host of other garbage and just had a baby a little over a year ago (and now all life is baby and art is dead) my sister will one day start updating Godsend again. Her art is very beautiful, please read it.
So the only Webcomic that I really, really like that has not yet been mentioned is Mokepon. It’s a pokemon fancomic (obviously) that loosely follows the original Red/Blue story framework and has a lot of fun with the inherent absurdity of that world. Notably, it absolutely nails the manga-esque art style it goes for, especially in later chapters.
It’s relatively problematic in areas and also officially defunct for the umpteenth time, but man, there still isn’t anything quite like Achewood out there. It’s often hilarious and Chris Onstad’s avatar of depression incarnate, Roast Beef, is probably one of my favorite fictional characters. If you’ve never read it, start with The Party arc. It’s a good introduction to all the pertinent characters and skips a fair deal of the early awkward stuff.
And I second hbmonk’s mention of Devil’s Candy. It’s gorgeous and a lot of old school manga fun.

i considered mentioning oglaf but i wasn’t sure it would be appropriate, haha. i love how the archive marks which pages are safe, rather than which ones are not safe
most of the other comics I read have already been reccommended, but here’s one I don’t see get mentioned a lot
If you don’t mind zombies, please please please check out Dead Winter by Allison Shabet. Its the funnest most positive zombie story i know of. It starts off a LIIIIIIITLE edgy but chills out on that front pretty quickly, also the art’s amazing. She and her pal Jason are also working on a couple of games
i just started reading the house on the cliff and it’s gay and beautiful and magical and i have fallen in love
I discovered yesterday that one of my favourite artists, Ryan Armand’s website went defunct in early 2016. Fortunately it’s got several archive mirrors that have almost all of the pages he had posted. His artwork and pacing is some of the best I’ve seen, and easily flips from hilarious to somber at the drop of a hat. My personal favourites are Great, Dig, and minus.
It was completed years ago but I’m still a huge fan of Rice Boy
The author has done another full webcomic and is currently doing a third, but I haven’t gotten around to reading either.

Port Sherry is a pretty fun webcomic that I don’t see mentioned a lot. You’ve probably seen that dragon and princess comic posted to twitter, unsourced. That’s from this.
Wilde Life is a cool comic about a city boy stumbling across all the supernatural things you can find in rural Oklahoma.
The Girl Who Walks the Waves is a neat and well-drawn little Korean webcomic about a woman finding passion in surfing after running from her failed marriage. You’ll have to use Batoto to read it, since AFAIK there’s no official English version.
Cucumber Quest!

i really recommend Snarlbear by Natalie Riess, it was completed recently and is really short. from the website:
SNARLBEAR is a comic about a girl’s journey through the dangerous and colorful Rainbow Dimension. On the way she learns about the power of friendship and monster punching.
Namesake by Megan Lavey-Heaton and Isabelle Melançon is another really good one, it’s currently ongoing and is pretty long but it’s worth a read. here’s an excerpt from the about page on the site:
The rules of Namesakes are quite clear - Alices always go to Wonderland. Wendys always go to Neverland. However, Emma finds herself in Oz, where she is expected to act as the latest in a long line of Dorothies. She instead unveils a magical conspiracy plot that’s more than 100 years in the making.
and finally, Never Satisfied by Taylor Robin is another ongoing comic about kids and magic.
Never Satisfied is the story of apprentices competing for the position of magician representative for their city, serving directly under the king. There’s no greater job for a magician, so who could want more?
Never Satisfied features characters that are non-binary, and use the pronouns they, them, and their. When in doubt about which pronouns to use, pay attention to what other characters use, or you can look at the cast page for the main characters.

Only a few of my favorites have been listed so far, but I’m a fan of:
Three Panel Soul, a continuation of Mac Hall, another comic I followed until it ended. Mostly videogame/tech based.
Whomp! a comic of a depressed web comic artist and his struggle with everyday life.
Astral Aves is all about spooky shadow powers and witches.
He Is A Good Boy (Which is probably ) and Back by noted good boy KC Green are both excellent comics.
E: Sorry, He Is A Good Boy definitely covers 
territory.
He Is a Good Boy is definitely as well. Lots of gore and disturbing content. I like it a lot, great to see KC Green branching out into horror.

Alpha Flag updates very sporadically, but I adore it! The symbols and overall theme is just…real neat,imo. It’s about a man called The Diver who finds himself in some place with no concept of who he was, and has to find all the “parts” of himself to find out what’s going on. Bit of a for trypophobia stuff and some gorey bits (those aren’t too bad,tho)
Not Drunk Enough gets a definite for gore and body horror stuff,tho. “A quick repair at a huge corporate lab during a late night shift should not have sent Logan into a hellish landscape fraught with monsters, but it looks like Lady Luck decided to give him the middle finger. Logan would like to give one back.”
I’ll also second Paranatural and Mare Internum,but would like to add a for csa to the latter.
OKAY okkay so
Since y’all already mentioned Cucumber Quest several times, I’m going to have to shill twice as hard for the other webcomic I’m recommending:
For lots of body horror / gore
From the comic’s about page:
The Last Halloween, Book 1 is the story of Mona and her unusual friends, who must work together to defend humanity from countless horrific monstrosities! Perhaps they will succeed, and humanity will prevail as it always has. Or perhaps this will be… The Last Halloween.
Rendered in beautiful black-and-white hatching, it will have you laughing (or quietly smiling) more than you’d think from something so…gory.
The author, Abby Howard, is pretty great, and pays attention to criticism; for instance, one of her early pages was, well, transphobic. She sat on it, then later altered the page to remove the ‘joke’. She then went on to defend her choice to alter the pages in the comments section. http://disq.us/p/tnuk78

I started Gunnerkrigg last year and I’ve been so engrossed in the story, especially in the recent chapters holy crap Smitty being stabbed had me worried
Questionable Content seems decent but I’ve still been in the parts about indie rock. Really cool seeing the art evolve though.
Oh yeah, I started on Sleepless Domain but the 2nd chapter’s ending was such a shock with 3 of the girls being killed I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue, but I’m going back to it now just to see where it goes from there.
I’m boring and don’t really have a favorite webcomic. I’d be down for any suggestions of cute webcomics though.
Well, I used to be into Goodbye to Halos. But then Enae got shat on for no real reason. Everybody was spoiling for a fight and then suddenly all the comments don’t want her dying. Big whoop, you wanted this. I might just be bitter because my girlfriend and I saw a lot of ourselves in the two of them, Fenic even being tiny like her. I was also disillusioned because we’ve yet to get any of the cute lesbian shit that was promised. Yeah, okay. You’re definitely a lesbian. That’s why your first kiss was you making out with your gay best friend. Go ahead and make things weird for him sure. I also take issue with “I’ve never been in a real fight before.” then what was the point of the timeskip and why are you fighting a trained fucking soldier or whatever just fine? Again, I’m sorry if I sound bitter I’m just disappointed and I’m gonna go lie down on the floor and feel like trash. I just needed to get that off my chest.
