Zach Weinersmith (SMBC) is not like Jack Chick (Chick Tracts), so Randall Munroe (xkcd) gets superpowers. |

A few years behind the times, but Live action version of Dresden Codak's Caveman Scifi. Basically, the summation of every anti-science argument ever. |

Arguably the most convincing argument for biblical inerrancy. Actually, Poe's Law is in effect here, because a very similar argument is used by inerrantists, it's called the criterion of embarrassment. |

Comic list
Active
Skepticism and atheism
- Flea Snobbery A joke-a-week webcomic about skepticism, atheism and related topics.
- Carbon Dating, A comic about skepticism, pseudoscience, and relationships
- Jesus and Mo These two guys walk into a bar....
Science
- Scenes From a Multiverse, with an archive to send the reader in any number of different directions. Internet Arguments is an almost but not quite completely atypical sample. The Corn God has shown up more than a few times.
- Xkcd Randall Munroe's totally awesome comic about science, math and romance, and sometimes goat.
- What If? Randall Munroe answers reader questions about unlikely scientific occurrences.
- Ph.D. Comics Graduate students are the worst. See why.
Politics
- Great Moments in Leftism, a webcomic that makes fun of the many sects in leftist politics. (The site itself.)
- The Nib, not a webcomic, but a daily sampler of comics and editorial cartoons drawn from the left side of the internet.
Law
- The Illustrated Guide to Law, webcomics and posts explaining various aspects of the law.
Sexuality
- Oh Joy Sex Toy. Sex toy reviews and other sex-related topics. Sometimes NSFW, depending on where you work.
- With Fetus. Life at an abortion clinic. Uneven, but worth checking out. The artwork is horrible, but some of the characters are engaging and the writing can be thoughtful, when the author doesn't let himself get bogged down in mansplaining feminism (especially in the blog posts). People involved in pro-choice activism will dig it; pro-lifers may read it and learn not to see their ideological enemies as monsters.
- Oglaf Sex and Dungeons and Dragons-style swordplay and fantasy. Not even remotely safe for work.
- Try It, You'll Like It. Comic guide to kink. Try it. You'll like it.
General comedy
- Dinosaur Comics, in which the same six dinosaur clipart images are used over and over again to tell new and hilarious stories,
fivefour times a week. - Hark a vagrant; a webcomic that makes jokes about history and literature.
- The Oatmeal; a webcomic that makes jokes about pop culture.
- Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal – a non-serial webcomic about all sorts of topics, especially academia, sex, and the occasional superhero. Has some excellent take-downs of creationism. Updates daily at smbc-comics.com.
Inactive/on hiatus
- Cectic used to be another comic focused on skepticism/atheism comics; as of January 2014, the author is considering restarting it; a full archive is available at the site.
