There's about 700 or so strips at the moment, and it works on a MWF updating schedule.

We may not be post-grads, but I think a lot of stuff still holds true XD

PhD comics

I am loving this webcomic. I discovered it during the weekend and read it non-stop... I'm now up to date and I'm hooked.

I like it so much I've gone and bought the $27 book version- thats just two days after finding out about it. 

This is definitely my favourite webcomic now. OK, this brings the number of webcomics that I actively follow up to three. I'm taking it slow in terms of getting into new webcomics because if I end up finding a new one that I like, I'll be obligated to read it all in its entirety right from the beginning.

PhD looks cool but I've been holding off for the time being- kinda busy now so don't have time to read it all!

But it's just really good, in a quirky somewhat surreal way.  A bunch of friends in a small town that's a magnet for weirdness.  At the moment the author is on holiday so it's not the normal storyline or drawing style.

Penny Arcade - nobody mentioned this one, which is surprising.  Maybe the biggest gaming comic, certainly one of the longest running.  Irreverent, and not just a comic, they review games and run a big gaming convention.

Schlock Mercenary - hard sci-fi yet humourous.  I really like the drawing style - simple but effective.  The current storyline is a bit confusing, it's being told in flashback in a weird way, so I'd recommend skipping back a while.  Or just read from somewhere near the start :)
