I thought I'd post some of my favorite comic strips too.
The first one is Order of the Stick, a strip based on DnD jokes. It's hilarious and has a lot of geeky jokes (don't pretend you don't have a geeky side).

GitP also recently started hosting a new comic, Gobwin Knob, which is okay so far, it's only 26 strips in. Find the link on the left navbar when you're reading OotS.
The last one is XKCD, which stand for absolutely nothing (which is even worse than XNA (XNA is not an acronym), sigh). But it's fullllllll of inside nerdy jokes, related to computing, math, physics, etc. If you choke when someone asks you the result of the Ackermann function called with Graham's Number, or bemoan the syntax of List/Scheme, then this is the strip for you. Actually, there's no plot whatsoever, every individual strip is stand-alone. I'd compare it to Farside but they're so different. Also, every strip has an alternate text, just hover your mouse over it and it'll show up (you'll hafta get a plugin for Firefox called LongerText or something to read the entire caption). And yes, look up on Wikipedia what you don't know, it's worth it....

There are also some very touching ones too.
