So far the only two web comics that I have been completely dedicated to have been 8-Bit Theater, which is no longer made, and Order of the Stick, which is still going strong. So what other gems am I missing out on? OOTS is great but I have to wait every four days for a new one. So please let me know if there are other web comics worth checking out. Thank you. ;)

This topic (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=38564) is probably a good place to start, as people are posting about the recent updates of webcomics they are reading.
The only ones I read on a regular basis are Pictures for Sad Children, Dr. McNinja, XKCD, and......that may be it. I think there's a 4th one but I can't think of it at the moment (which means I haven't been paying much attention to it).
EDIT: Oh, and MS Paint Adventures was pretty funny, haven't read it lately, though.

Well they're not reliable for regular updates, but I enjoy

And from the guys who did Mac Hall, Three Panel Soul (http://www.threepanelsoul.com/)

Misfile is pretty good. Plus where else can you find a pot-smoking angel? (http://www.misfile.com/)

OOtS' forum has a page dedicated to a large list of webcomics here. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115481)

Each of these three webcomics should be considered essential reading, well worth visiting often:
Jump Leads (http://www.jump-leads.com/)
Hark, A Vagrant (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php)
Wondermark - An Illustrated Jocularity (http://wondermark.com/)

Awkward Zombie (http://www.awkwardzombie.com/) is another neat one.
MS Paint Adventures (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001901) is great, but requiring giant archive binges
Dresden Codak (http://dresdencodak.com/). Science and oddity.
Seconding:
Wondermark
Hark, A Vagrant
Three Panel Soul
Dr. McNinja (http://drmcninja.com/issues/)
Pictures for Sad Children (http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com/)

Rice Boy and Other Stories from the Overside (http://rice-boy.com) have been found variously "sagacious", "spectacular" and "very special" by everyone I know who's read it.
Makeshift Miracle (http://www.makeshiftmiracle.com/) is another of those rare, finished comics.
Road Waffles (http://roadwaffles.com/) more kind of trailed off than finished, but it's fun while it lasts.
It Never Rains (http://www.waterlizard.com/inr.htm) wins the underservedly unrecognized comic award. I'd hurry up and download it before the author's temper gets the better of him again.
Argon Zark (http://zark.com/) is the little known oldest original webcomic. In 15 years it's reached 77 pages, so that's pretty special too.

I don't remember where I stumbled across Boxer Hockey (http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=1), but I've been following it since. In a bit of an update lull at the moment.

Overcompensating (http://overcompensating.com/) is awesome.

Gunnerkrigg Court (http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1) is great... I guess urban fantasy? Set in an enormous boarding school/robotic magitek city/eerily unihabited industrial sector in rural probably England next to a forest inhabited by the fair folk and ruled by Coyote the Trickster who decided to live in Enlgand cause of all the mythical dog monsters there.
Also don't be put off by the art style or superficial similarity in the base idea to Harry Potter. The art improves dramatically and rapidly and the similarity is superficial and restricted to the premise of kid with strange powers and no parents gets shuffled off to mysterious school.
Darths and Droids (http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0001.html) is a bizarre attempt to tell the Star Wars movies starting at episode 1 as if they were a DnD game set in a world where Star Wars the movies never existed. It hilariously has far better writing and a plot that makes more sense than the movies. It's also up to the start of Episode 3 now.

I didn't see anyone suggest Brawl in the Family (http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/), so I'm gonna suggest that.

Hyperbole and a Half (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/07/dog.html)
Not a webcomic technically, but I think it's worth a mention.

READ A BOOK
My favorite books are almost all comic books. Don't see what the big deal is. >_>

READ A BOOK
The last time I did that I ended up reading Terry Goodkind's Confessor, so you can see how dangerous that is.

Fifth doesn't realize that he is dangerously close to getting me to read, by sheer accident, that used copy of Atlas Shrugged I got at the Goodwill. It is near the top of the pile (I had them piled in the order I bought them).

I have read many, many books, my library is approaching 300 hardcover books, and I am running out of space. I need something that I can read without cluttering up my home even more.
Just started reading Darths and Droids, and it is already a favorite.
Brawl in the Family is interesting as well.
Same with Gunnerkrigg Court.
Suffice it say, a lot of your suggestions have been very good. Thank you for the help.
