Is there a particular webcomic you are a follower of? Do you know of an obscure, visited-by-three-people-a-day webcomic that you think is totally awesome, and would like to share it with the world at large?
Personally, aside from occasional forays into xkcd, my webcomic of choice would be Brian Clevinger's 8 Bit Theater. If you haven't heard of this one, and at one point in your life have preoccupied yourself with role playing, Final Fantasy and other video games, sci-fi and other nerdy stuff like that, give it a chance. There is a good porbablity that you might find it hilarious (personally, i picked it up in the lazy summer of 2008, and was enticed to such a degree that i marathon read it to the latest panel in the course of three days).

Before anyone else does it, I want to provide you with the link to Order of the Stick: the most awesome webcomic I've ever read. While it creates a magnificent D&D story, it is hilariously self-aware of nearly everything related to making a webcomic.
The Noob was my favourite before I found the Order of the Stick. The Noob is a parody of the entire MMORPG genre written and drawn by a MMORPG veteran. It is filled with unforgettable characters and scenarios, references to popular culture, and at the same time it is a great portrayal of the gaming community.

"No you wouldn't. Oz's secret is he goes without food to buy that stuff. He hasn't eaten in years." - Brikhaus
"Often I get the feeling that deep down, your little girl is struggling with your embrace of filmfaggotry and your loldeep fixations, and the conflict that arises from such a contradiction is embodied pretty well in Kureha's character. But obviously it's not any sort of internal conflict that makes the analogy work. It's the pigtails." - Merridian
"Oh, Oz, I fear I'm losing my filmfag to the depths of Japanese pop. If only there were more films with Japanese girls in glow-in-the-dark costumes you'd be the David Bordwell of that genre." - Jimbo
"Oz, I think we need to stage an intervention and force you to watch some movies that aren't made in Japan." - Trajan

I absolutely adored The Last Days of Foxhound, because it went from a genuinely funny comic with exaggerated versions of Metal Gear characters to developing an actual plot with developed characters, all while still being a riot. I think every MGS fan should read it.
"Now, from Nature we obtain abundant information about ourselves, and precious little about others. About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction? Let us confine ourselves to simple evidence: through thoughtfulness, gentleness, concern for the feelings of others we saddle our own pleasure with restrictions, and make this sacrifice to obtain a doubtful result." -The Divine Marquis

GG Guys and Brawl in the Family.
Brawl in the Family's 200thcomic is pretty kick ass and definitely worth a read.

My RSS feeds link me to Ctrl-Alt-Del, Looking for Group, Order of the Stick, Goblins, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Least I Could Do, Cyanide and Happiness, Dinosaur Comics, and the XKCD Sucks blog (which is about a dozen times funnier than XKCD).

The only webcomic I read that's still actively updated is Achewood. It's one of those comics where most of the strips don't really seem very funny if you're new to reading it, but as you get more familiar with the different characters it becomes pretty consistently hilarious.
