If you don't like Calvin and Hobbes you're not human!
Matt Groening's "Life in Hell" is another great one. Technically this isn't a webcomic, but it's still pretty damn funny. Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb. http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/

I've always been a fan of "Sherman's Lagoon" by Jim Toomey. I also love "Garfield" and "Mother Goose and Grimm".

Some one should take Garfield Minus Garfield a step further and take out Jon as well, just three solid panels of nothing but a blank white (or lime green or yellow if you have color comics.) wall...Now That's comedy.

 also, from some online reading today, ive found US acres, (or orson's farm, depends on where you live) another thing by jim davis, to be pretty cool. maybe because of all the times i watched garfield and friends as a kid. webcomics? oh yeah, i read alot of those too. awkward zombie, count your sheep, VG cats and penny arcade are the main ones. i also like dinosaur comics. its so great for the same six panels each day.

The best Garfield ever is live action Garfield as seen here http://youtube.com/user/lasagnacat. Although it's done with an undertone of seething hatred of all things Garfield, it stays closer to the spirit of the comics than the movies ever did.

Remember how earlier in the thread when I was raving about how good the the comic strip "Lio" was, well I think today's strip puts an exclamation on that point.

My favourites would have to be http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZJUmwWHtSHE and http://youtube.com/watch?v=fPEV9X0vgts. Yes sir, reading is cool! Get yourself a library card!  Garfield does seem to be quite a fashionable franchise to bash right now (certainly not helped by the arrival of the recent live-action movies, which did absolutely zilch for me - but then, they weren't very true to the spirit of the comic, as you say), but in truth I've always had a soft spot for the obese orange tabby, ever since I was a nipper, fuelled in part by my fondness for the Garfield and Friends TV series growing up, and of course for the various TV specials (particularly Garfield: His Nine Lives, which remains one of my favourite pieces of animation). I admit that I haven't really been following the strip itself lately, so I have little to add to that side of the debate, but I do have a whole pile of Garfield books which span from his genesis in the late 70s through to the mid-90s, and I do genuinely enjoy pouring through them. I'm glad to see that Matt Groening's Life in Hell has already been brought up here. It's a strip which I've never actually properly followed - I couldn't even tell you which British newspaper carries it, if any - but I was quite taken with the bits and pieces which I've seen here and there. It seems to be a darker and more surreal sense of humour than Groening is generally known for. Given that The Simpsons was apparently born from Matt's last-minute refusal to surrender the rights and image of LIH for usage in those animated segments on The Tracy Ullman Show, a part of me does have to wonder, out of sheer curiosity, what it's like right now in that alternative universe where Matt didn't get cold feet, LIH became an animated cartoon and the Simpsons never existed.

Resurrecting this thread to bring to you all what could possibly be the worst comic strip in the history of the medium.
