I read plenty. Here are some of my favorites. YMMV:

http://www.pvponline.com/ - This one is about a staff at a gaming magazine. A lot of great geek in-jokes, and my personal favorite. Kurtz is a decent guy and a very funny one, who touches on more topics than just games.

http://www.megatokyo.com/ - It helps to be an anime and computer game fan, but the art is good and the strip is taking a new direction. Though it's always been serialized, it's now getting more into that, and they have an itriguing story working.

http://www.sinfest.net/ - The Calvin and Hobbes influence is pretty heavy here, at least in the artistic style. The author tries to be a little too hip hop, but sometimes his stuff can be pretty funny. A fair amount of the humor is religion-based, but it doesn't bash any particular one.

http://www.ozyandmillie.org/ - A truly excellent strip. The creator's C&H influence is pretty clear, though more in terms of the tone of the strip than the art or the execution. If you read a few of them, you'll see what I mean.

http://miracle.keenspace.com/ - The Makeshift Miracle is a serialized strip that started recently. Very good art, interesting story so far, I am looking forward to following this one.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/ - Another game strip, a little more crass than the previous ones, but I find the sophmoric humor entertaining at times.

http://www.plif.com/ - A Far Side-like one picture joke strip. Often funny, but in a very twisted way.

http://www.gpf-comics.com/ - The art's a little dodgy at times, but it's another good "geek humor" strip. It has, however, got a long continuity going on, and the SF humor that's integral to the metaplot may not be for everyone.

http://www.polymer-city.com/ - Polymer City has gone from an SF and game puns strip to something more serious. The art and style's not for everyone, but check it out.

http://www.choppingblock.org/ - The world's only serial killer humor strip. If you like your humor a little (well, OK, a lot) on the macabre side, you might enjoy it. It's definitely not for everyone.

I hope at least one or two of these entertains you!

Jim
