GU Comics - GU started as a webcomic based around Everquest (”/gu” was the command to send a message to all guild members in Everquest) but has since spread both into other MMORPGs, and more recently even wider genres of video games.
Some of the webcomics are big enough to be substantial for their creators to work on them alone to support them, and others are independent works created by artists and writers in their spare time.
Anime Arcadia - A webcomic that plays on the cliche of many anime storylines along the lines of a cat girl, Kate who appears in the comic’s other star, Eric’s, life.

 Webcomic Finds: Hotspot #9: Crossovers, Contrivances and OOC
Instead of violating the genres of either Archie or The Punisher, the cross-over opens both of them up by admitting that the real world has both moments and places of innocence and moments and places of dark violence.
I wish there were more cross-overs like this one, cross-overs which respected the genres of both cross-over niches instead of forging a mishmash combination genre for the cross-over.
However, the authors of *Archie Meets the Punisher* actually managed to find a way to mesh elegantly and seemlessly the two wildly divergent genre worlds of The Punisher (dark violent action fantasy) and Archie (whimsical innocent slapstick in which violence has no place).

 Webcomic - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
While newspaper comic strips have to be comprehensible to the average reader, the huge potential audience provided by the Internet allows much more specialization, as can be seen in the rise of such genres as video game-oriented comics or transsexual biographies.
To the criticism of many (especially established cartoonists) computer technology has made it no longer necessary for a webcomic artist to actually be a skilled artist.

Comic strips have largely collapsed into the gag-strip genre, and the comic-book market of the 1960s through to the 1990s was utterly dominated by superhero action stories.

 Websnark: A Revised Modest Webcomics Proposal
Along with an enumeration of webcomics both obscure and well-known could be an explanation of the types and genres as well as comics that well-exemplify those types.
Webcomics with substantial and non-trivial readerships are being deleted as though they were garage bands with one demo tape that they distributed to their friends.
In my experience, most webcomics that survive Votes for Deletion do so when the "webcomics fans" swoop in and rescue it, either with evidence of notability or by squeaking by with a few "keep" votes (which have to be from registered, productive members, as thelemurgod found out).
