Gag-per-Day Webcomics

Go To

A subcategory of Webcomics: Gag-per-day or "traditional" webcomics, comics whose individual parts are largely self-contained. These comics are like Newspaper Comics in that the current strip should make sense (or at least make you laugh) even if you haven't done an Archive Binge. Remember that subject matter has no bearing here.

Cerebus Syndrome may move a comic out of this, as a creator develops arcs in which to find new inspiration.


Feel free to add comics to the list in alphabetical order. All links should be Wiki Words, even if we don't have a page for the comic yet, or you'll break the new indexing system. If a page is added for a work, please remove the external link.

It featured the self-referential adventures of a character called the Checkerboard Nightmare, a cartoon character who constantly attempted to improve the readership of his own strip. This premise allowed the comic to reference current happenings in webcomics, and address topics like Fan Fiction and genre strips, always with a satirical edge. It is also extremely funny.
  • Chibi Miku-san: Adorable, largely dialogue-less fan yonkoma webcomic about the Vocaloids.
  • Chopping Block: One-panel comics (a la The Far Side) concerning the day-to-day travails of a hockey-masked serial killer. Pure black humor, mining the various tropes of horror and slasher films for their most ludicrous applications. It has a somewhat irregular update schedule.

  • Fluffy And Mervin: Furry webcomic about a cat and a mouse who don't spend their time chasing one another.

  • George the Dragon: A Dragon named George and his hysterical adventures. This is a weekly webcomic where George goes about trying to live his life as a dragon among humans. He often resorts to costumes and trickery, but the results are always funny. Family friendly without compromising humour.
  • Gerbil With A Jetpack [11]: Monty Python’s Flying Circus had nothing to do with serpents, aeronautics or carnival life, and Mad magazine rarely concerned itself with mental health issues, so Gerbil With a Jetpack is just a silly name for a webcomic. Best not to read too much into it.

  • Ginger's Bread: A colourful and quirky comic following the exploits of Ginger, an unemployed layabout who bakes cookies and plays games, and her friends.

  • Inner Dialogue
  • Irregular Webcomic!: This comic, written by Australian physicist David Morgan-Mar, is unique in that the artwork is composed of, not drawings, but LEGO mini-people and figurines from table-top role-playing game sets. The stories use plot arcs to parody many classic films and pop-culture icons, most notably Indiana Jones, Star Wars, James Bond and the late Steve Irwin. Bad puns and cerebral Techno Babble humor are the order of the day.
  • iToons
  • It Sucks to Be Weegie!
  • The Jenkins: A pun-filled webcomic about three grown up Basement-Dweller brothers who struggle to live independently
  • Jerkbox And Punknhead: Maybe not so much a webcomic as an independent print comic that has made some issues available for online reading.

And our eponymous, somewhat disturbing protagonists are the two most feared hitmen in Hell, often carrying out wet work for Big Jack Satan himself.

And also her Straw Nihilist puppy named Merde, a.k.a French for "shit". Yes.
  • Ladies In Waiting
  • Laser Feet
  • Last Place Comics
  • Lauren Ipsum
  • Least I Could Do: A series set around Rayne Summers, best described as Marty Stu's cool big brother, and his quest to sleep with the entire female population of earth. Crude sexist utterly hilarious humour comic as this slightly out-of-whack young man ? who compares himself to Jesus and Aragorn ? lives his life. Best summed up by this (missing) image.

  • Nedroid: Beartato is half-bear, half-potato, all Heart. Tato.
  • The New Adventures Of Cool Spot And Calvin: A hilariously bad webcomic that regularly steals gags from Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes. The first two chapters are particularly fun to read. "We can go to Baskin Robbins or Dunkin Donuts for dessert!" "IT SURE IS!"

  • Nightmarish: a Black Comedy series involving nine classic horror characters (portrayed a bit differently) living in the same castle together.

  • On The Grind [28]: On the Grind is as comic about what goes on behind the counter of the coffee shop, The Grind. You know that $4 coffee you bough this morning? Why not get to know the people who made it.
