Of the dozen or so webcomics that I follow, my very favourite is SchlockMercenary - the ongoing exploits of a group of Mercenaries working in the 31st Century.

Howard Tayler, the author, manages to tell a consistent ongoing story that's funny and engaging and still manage to have a daily punchline that makes me laugh.

Here's one of my very favourite SchlockMercenary strips - click through to the archives on the SchlockMercenary site:


For what it's worth, I figure the best character isn't Seargent Schlock himself, but Commander Kevyn Andreyasn - the teams resident mad scientist. To quote his bio:

Commander Kevyn Andreyasn never aspired to a career as an officer in a mercenary company. A certified genius, he easily qualified for Spannington's Registry of the 100 Most Intelligent Humans, and was only dropped from the registry when Lord High Muckity Spannington learned that Kevyn was risking his life by doing violence for money -- a clear indicator of less-than-stellar reasoning if ever there was one.

May you never hear an Ommminious Hummmm ...
