Gunnerkrigg Court 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 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, so I'm gonna suggest that.

Hyperbole and a Half
Not a webcomic technically, but I think it's worth a mention.

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.
