Some good weird shit there. I sent this one to my partner: https://www.oglaf.com/skin-tight/ (NSFW)
What the fuck
XKCD
Calvin & Hobbes I guess doesn't count.
Always a fan of Slack Wyrm
Pokemon the Previous Generation
These are the main ones apart from my crippling xkcd addiction
I think False Knees has to be it. Beautiful illustrations and heartwarming writing
Edit: One of my favourites from them It's part of a breezy 31-part storyline, which I recommend reading from the start
Ive been following Questionable Content and Grrl Power for years.
Also another +1 for Pepper & Carrot.
I recently stopped reading Questionable Content, it just feels like a mockery of what it used to be. I resisted it for a while but eventually I just couldn't take it anymore. I think my breaking point was somewhere around 1015?
I tend to go in bursts. A week or three of not readimg, then catching up all at once.
Its just one web comic ive really imvested in the characters that is still around. I do still enjoy most of the storylines.
I go back and re-read the older comics a lot. Every once and a while I'll say fuck it and do a full re-read, but that gets harder every day lol. I have attachments to so many of the characters, I've been reading it since freshman year in high school - but even then, that was like 7 years into the comic lmao
xkcd, smbc
I don't have a single favorite one, so here is a top three, in no particular order:
Freefall The first webcomic i read, started in 1998 and still updating three times a week.
El Goonish Shive Another longrunner, started 2002 and still going. Helped me with figuring out some gender stuff.
How to be a werewolf Newest one on the list, starting in 2015, also still going.
I've always admired the Perry Bible Fellowship. Not a lot of new content these days but it's all gold.
Wow, they really are great!
For a long time, it used to be Square Root of Minus Garfield - I actually got my username from there.
Nowadays, it's probably xkcd.
Florkofcows is great.
Eastcostitnotes, at least lately. Couldn't find a good link, so here's an Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/eastcoastitnotes/
Xkcd is my favorite of all time.
PBF and Extra Fabulous are probably my favorites. Strange Planet gets an honorable mention.
I'm a big fan of the weekly roll (webtoons), a silly fun D&D comic that used to release weekly, now is a bit more sporadic but still good.
Also on the subject of sporadic D&D comics, The Order of the Stick is an extremely long running comic that is very well made and humorous.
Ended now, but Go Get a Roomie is a slice of life LGBTQ+ comic, mildly NSFW, that's fun to read and currently doing a rerun.
And as everyone else has said, XKCD is always a classic.
I'm boring. Xkcd and Oglaf.
C&H
I've got a few saved in insta

There's more, and many probably have proper websites, but these are some of my favourites
I'm not sure if it counts as a traditional webcomic, but the One Punch Man Webcomic is definitely my favorite.
I have several, but in addition to some that others have already mentioned, these long-runners are quite good:
- Carciphona (ongoing)
- Digger (completed)
- Everblue (ongoing; might be back from hiatus?)
- Habourmaster (ongoing)
Three Panel Soul, which doesn't update often. The archives have some real gold; I just wish there was a good way to search them.
Twistwood Tales is clever and cute and sometimes really tugs at the heartstrings.
Dustinteractive, which has ended it's run.
OGLAF once in a blue moon when I need a dose of the bizarre.
Also xkcd, SMBC, and Perry Bible Fellowship, of course.
I wanted to answer, but after reading other comments I've learned that there are other kinds of webcomics than Korean (and Chinese ig)
I don't have one
