There are some great webcomics out there!
Dr. McNinja is a comic about a doctor in Maryland who is also a ninja!
Girl Genius is a steampunk adventure with beautiful artwork and a deep plot! It won a Hugo award!
Questionable Content is probably the most popular webcomic in the world! Its strength is its realistic characters and slowly but surely improving artwork.
Scary Go Round is simply great. It had a seven year that just finished a few weeks ago, and features British humor!
Order of the Stick is a must-read for anyone who play D&D, and still great for anyone who doesn't, like me!
I'm probably missing a few, but in my opinion, those are the greats. Post webcomics that you wish more people read.
EDIT: This thread was necroed which lets me make crucial additions to this list!
The best two webcomics on the internet currently are http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ and http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php. Gunnerkrigg has won multiple awards and MSPA is basically just a work of creative and technical genius.

I gotta admit, not too big a fan of Questionable Content. Bunch of hipsters, everyone's totally cool and sarcastic. It's like Friends but on the internet and with only one writer.
Never heard of this Order of the Stick, though. Might have to check it out.
I got some comic picks, too, here. achewood is in its own league. Read Ray's advice column. Read Beef's blogs. Order the Man Why You Even Gotta Do a Thing zines. The writing's brilliant; the world is huge. It's a work of fucking comic literature. But anyway:
achewood
xkcd
chainsawsuit
and as for comics that aren't necessarily supposed to be funny:
zuda
transmission x
deadwinter
Both those top sites have shit-tons of material to go through. Check out Supertron on zuda. Check out The Port on transmission x (although I think Kukuburi, Raising Hell, and The Abominable Charles Christopher are great too). The Port is a comic I have a very real love for. I read it and it's like I'm in this quiet snowbound universe, it was a hard comic to step away from when I ran out of pages.
Deadwinter is a quality zombie survival comic. I went through a phase where I was hunting that shit down, and deadwinter is one that I still read. A bonus, the motherfucker never misses an update. That's two new pages a week. It's a great read and Monday is a badass.
Last but not least:
Penny Arcade
The teamliquid of webcomics. It's a goddamn institution. 10+ years of quality archives, a MWF update schedule that doesn't miss a beat, and newsposts that often eclipse the comics themselves in goodness and sweetness and light.
Also got to give a +1 to the PBF. Read through that archive (it's inactive these days), and see if you don't shit your pants at least once.

This thread is so perfect, exactly what I need right now, its got-back-from-going-out-but-can't-sleep-yet material.

OOTS has such a ridiculous archive, it's amazing. On the same site, Erfworld has some quality comics as well, but they tend to be fewer and further between.
I am a little upset no one has mentioned Dinosaur Comics yet either. That has some serious brilliance. It's the same 6 panels of art every day, but new content. Updates 5 days a week, and is pretty great.
If you like RPG's, you'll get a kick out of Looking for Group as well. It pokes fun at just about every MMO out there, as well as just the RPG enviornment, but has a really cool fantasy story line with it.
Daisy Owl is another favorite of mine. It tends to err on the side of cute, but is usually quite clever, and it's another one of the comics with a great alternate text acting as a second punchline almost.
Amazing Super Powers has a really great art style mixed with a goofy sense of humor. Sticks with the pretty standard 3-panel format. Unfortunately it only updates twice a week, but is usually well worth the time it takes.

There's a 18+ warning at the site, so no need to post it here.
Edit:
Girl Genious posted earlier is pretty neat. Jaegers rule!
And if you like RPG (D&D in particular) then 2 best comic's you can find are:
#1: The Order of the Stick
#2: Goblins
|
Questionable content suck wtf. So boring..I don't understand any of the appeal in that comic. Next I'll try Girl Genius.

achewood is the alpha and the omega of webcomics

this thread is gonna kill any free time i had left T.T no more SC for me

I can't stand Questionable Content because I am not hip enough to get its funny  (I liked indietits much better so it's kind of odd that both are written by the same guy..)
Perry Bible Fellowhsip and achewood are great webcomics already mentioned. xkcd is ok but some strips are just nerdery and it gets a bit creepy sometimes when he can't get over his ex-gf Megan.
Stuff not already mentioned:
Hark! a vagrant HISTORY COMICS
The Non-Adventures of Wonderella SUPERHERO COMICS

http://www.nerfnow.com/
Mainly a Team Fortress 2 comic, but sometimes goes into starcraft, left 4 dead, or whatever the creator is playing at the moment.

Every single one of those is atrociously bad.

I thought the Nedroid one was pretty hilarious.
+1 for Hark A Vagrant. Good archives there, too.
