Webcomics make me so happy* that sometimes I wish I wrote one, and then I remember that I can't draw. Other comics I read regular-like include Questionable Content and everything Kate Beaton (aka beatonna).

Randall Munroe of xkcd can't draw either, but that hasn't stopped him, and Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics uses the same clip art in every installment, so no more excuses, Schwartz! Get webcomicing!

I only discovered Questionable Content last year, but it quickly became one of my three favorite comics (Wapsi Square and Scary-Go-Round being the other two)

I will have to check those out, thanks!

Thank you.

I personally have the opposite problem: I can draw, but I can't write.
My friend Nick has an amusing webcomic himself, though, which I have totally done guest strips for. Of varying merit.
