Webcomic Pick of 2008 - Kate Beaton
Webcomics are hard. Writing is hard. Writing comedy is arguably harder, and intelligent comedy perhaps hardest yet. Drawing is also equally difficult.
I don't read a lot of webcomics anymore. There are a few that I'll put aside time for however - Achewood, Girl Genius, Erfworld (uneven), The Non-Adventures of Wonderella and Penny Arcade. There was a time when this list would have been about twenty comics long, and I'm very reluctant to add anything new to it.
That said, I recommend Kate Beaton's work, reminiscent in some ways of a beloved paper comic, without hesitation. It really is very good.
My only complaint is that I wish Kate would watermark her comics. It took me an awfully long time to figure out who she was after I saw her "George IV, You Are Too Fat To Be King" in a forum signature.
