What the title says. I've been reading more webcomics lately, and I was wondering what good ones one might recommend. I like the science/math nerdy stuff like xkcd, but I also like fantasy-themed ones. I really don't want anything too graphic, though. Besides xkcd, I've also read Spinnerette, Bob and George, and The Wotch, and I liked them all for the most part, although they each had their own flaws (in the latter, I'm up to episode 20, and I'm really starting to get sick of the transformations...the gender changes I can deal with, but the inanimate stuff is just disturbing). Ideally, I'd want one with a contemporary fantasy setting, a decent amount of humor, nothing that would warrant worse than a PG rating, and enough comics done so far to keep me occupied for a while.
So, any recommendations? Actually, other people could ask for suggestions as well.

Homestuck. It contains science and fantasy elements, along with animations and short "mini-games". It has language but other than that it's pretty PG.

Hm...I'll try them. What are each of these about?
(And why should I stop reading The Wotch? Just because the writers have a fetish that will probably result in it being even more disturbing later on? It was a good comic aside from that...)

I found this on /co/ the other day. It's called Little League. It's a relatively recent webcomic, so there's not as many strips as some of the more long running webcomics, but it's amazing. You'll probably love it if you like superheroes and stuff.
QuoteA weekly webcomic, it follows the adventures of popular DC comic characters as children in elementary school. Mostly funny, with a dash of pathos, it should be an enjoyable read for any fans of DC Comics characters as well as people who enjoy the traditional syndicated comic strip.
Updates every Monday and Thursday, so there should be a new one sometime today, but it would probably be best if you read them in order.

I'm gonna second Homestuck, not because I've read it, but because it's got a stark raving mad fanbase as big as ponies. It's got to be doing something right.

Two of my personal favorites are Prequel and Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
Prequel takes place in the world of Oblivion and stars a cute cat lady called Katia Managan. After leaving her old life, she seeks to reinvent herself as a powerful mage and meet some new friends along the way. She fails a lot through the comic, but with the help of her followers she is sure to reach places.
While Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is the critically acclaimed webcomic of the decade. Its inspirational, beautifully drawn, and the characters are well written. Give it a try if you're looking for an easy to pickup webcomic. You won't regret it.

Going with Homestuck as well. I liked what i've read, althought the comic wasn't for me. But, if you like long webcomics with flashy effects and cool music, Homestuck is for you.

Well, I stopped reading the Wotch because I found so many better comics =/
Anyways, the comics:
70-seas - set in a world where no landmass is stable, and it's all a bunch of floating islands, you follow a group of privateers on their zany journey. The author has created such a bizarre and implausible universe it's always a joy to find out more :3
True Magic - I haven't gotten around to reading this since late 2011, but I remember it being quite good. Basically, it's about a group of peasants who are fed up with being treated like shit by the higher class. It's fairly humorous tho
Archipelago - Very hard to explain... it's pretty much about an archipelago of islands that are built on the remains of some computer system whose firewall has decided to eliminate all life on. It has a very weird setting that is heavily based on magic and science fiction.
Gunnerkrigg Court - about a young girl who has newly started at the gunnerkrigg court school, and the weird events that occur there
Cucumber quest - Against his will, a young boy has been chosen to save the world; very humor based.
Freefall - Set far in the future, in a planet colonized by humans, you follow the adventures of captain Sam Starfall, an alien being that was by accident taken away from his home world, Helix, his robot assistant, and their new ship engineer Florence Ambrose, a genetically modified wolf. It gets very science-y when you get a bit into the story
Dresden Codak - Mostly just stray strips, but often about the life of an inventor by the name of Kimiko Ross.
Narbonic - Newly graduated Dave Davenport gets a job by a mad scientist. Fairly old, but funny story :3
I guess I can add another too :V
Tales of the Questor is quite nice as well.

If you want an interactive 'traditional game'-esque comic, I reccomend you also check out RubyQuest, by the ever awesome Weaver.
I can't tell you what it's about tho, since figuring out what is going on is pretty much the whole point of the comic.
oh and it's completed, btw.

+1 to the Homestuck recommendations. If you think it's a bit too long, I'd recommend starting with Problem Sleuth. It's the same author as homestuck, and gets really deep into some funky physics. (or lack thereof) It's also complete, and is about a solid day's read.
Otherwise, I've had lots of fun reading Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Questionable Content. (don't worry, the content doesn't get questionable very often)

I'd further recommend reading Jailbreak before reading Problem sleuth(I started and finished both today; they're fairly short)
