You can find big lists of comics around, so I make no attempt to be a complete list... This is just my personal list of comics I stumbled upon and that stuck with me for whatever reason, and I update it at my whim. There are plenty of important and/or good comics that are not on this list. Try any of these:
Other comic resources on the web:
Go-related webcomics:
Here are various webcomics I've enjoyed for one reason or another.
Absurd Notions combines gamer and techie humor.
Acid Reflux looks cool. I haven't read much of the archives yet, but I loved the long Fight Club storyline that starts here.
Adam & Andy is a color weekly about a gay couple.
Algernon's Dilemma is done in the retro tradition of old newspaper melodramas.
Almost Sente has go-related comics!

Angst Technology is a new b&w daily set at a game company that became popular very fast.
Aren't We Real is b&w rude fun.
Arrogance in Simplicity has mediocre stick figure art with good writing, but the interesting thing that struck me is that the Sunday strips usually deal with religion; yet unlike other comics that include religion, AiS avoids mindless religion-bashing like 90% of them or mindless rah-rah evangelism like 10% of them.
? (Ashfield) is a fun minimalist gag panel, sort of a cross between The Bench and Far Side.
Astounding Space Thrills is a well drawn color daily adventure comic strip in the Golden Age Of SciFi tradition.
Avalon is a popular comic about high school kids.
The Bad Boys of Computer Science is a popular color comic about some CS majors.

Braarwood is a weird sporadic fantasy comic that combines elements of anime, Lovecraft, and de Sade.
Brainfries has a sabertooth cat girl!

Cool Cat Studio is an excellently drawn comic set at a graphic design studio which is a fun blend of innocent fun and sexiness.

The Corruption of Ted is a cool strange combination of cute high school humor and tasteless edgy humor.
Cyantian Chronicles has several different sf/fantasy strips running including the Lovecraftian Cute Abominations.
David and John is a fun comic with a kid and an alien robot having wacky adventures. Aw, yo!
David's comics are delightful simple cute expressive stick figures.

Ein Stueck Natur looks cool, though I've not read much of it yet.

Evercrest is set in the world of the online game Everquest. I've never played Everquest but I still enjoy it sometimes.
Eversummer Eve is very nicely drawn fantasy manga.
Everything Jake has well drawn pencil art, and is about college life. The plot occasionally gets inexplicably strange and then returns to reality.
Extra Senseless Perception is a nicely drawn b&w comic about a psychic girl. It seems to be a self-contained finished run, with no more strips appearing.
File Not Found is an amateur color comic.
five - a terrible thing is a collection of enjoyably erudite and vulgar minicomics.

Flem comics are not for the easily offended.
Floor 13 is a conspiracy spoof with color rendered art. It has ended but the author has new projects underway.
Frog Children (or maybe Random Frog Children)

HOSERS has donut-obsessed secret government operatives.

Ku-2 is well-drawn short stories about a guy and an alien.
Kung Fu for Dubious Ends has a few strips apparently drawn by different people.
Kyoki Press has several graphic-novels-in-progress, including The Wings of Cranes and Eagles (set during WWII) and ShadowFall (a futuristic action thriller) with very nice clean pencil art!
Last Flight is a b&w daily space opera serial with manga-style art.
Lethal Doses is a color gaming mayhem comic.
Life in 4 Panels is new & different funny slice-o-life stuff.
Life on Forbez is a very well-drawn b&w sf comic about a mother and son who moved to a new planet with many alien races; it has a blend of comedy & drama.
Little Gamers is a gaming comic, but the artwork is like a cute little kid's comic!
Living in Greytown is an interesting surreal story-oriented daily comic that's hard to describe but certainly unique. Now ended, but the equally cool Lizard has replaced it.
Look What I Brought Home is one of the most popular of the gross-and-disgusting webcomics. It can also be quite funny. Not for the squeamish.

Nowhere Girl is great teen- and 20-something-angst with cool art.

Otaku Feh is a fun parody of other web comics. On January 1 it became The Big Ones due to some controversy I don't fully understand.

Parthenos is "a slink through the less-visited places of classical myth", b&w M/W/F set in ancient Greece!

Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan is daily b&w fantasy. The author also has lots of other comic series; I'm fond of Tips for Lazy Buggers (advice on creating comics).
Rusty Shrapnel is a sporadic b&w comic about college gamer geeks with neat art...
The 2nd Coming is a "daily" color gaming mayhem comic that's gradually growing more sporadic.
Sev Trek is a Star Trek spoof drawn in charming Simpsons style art. The humor is sometimes literally lowest common denominator because he seems to run punchline popularity contests.

Shinkutokimekisempukaku is color gaming mayhem by one of my Comicollage collaborators.
Silly Cone V is b&w daily tech humor by one of my Comicollage collaborators.

Sluggy Freelance is a daily comic set in the real world with weird funny adventures. It's incredibly popular, for good reason.
Smut by Dave Kelly.

Soap on a Rope is a funny b&w comic that's been running several years.

Sporkman is an absurd daily superhero spoof, awfully silly but it has its moments.
Stalag 99 is a comic which confuses me with ambiguous-gender furry characters!
Stars and Steel is a military/sf graphic novel.
Stones is a German comic about go! There are also chess comics here.
Strange Daze is kind of a comedy/horror Lovecraftian cultists pastiche, and also gets bonus points for being the first comic I unexpectedly stumbled upon with a link to Ko Fight Club. And Matt later became one of my Comicollage collaborators.
Stripped Again is fun risque gags.
Striptease is about a comic book artist. It gets bonus points for the Halloween 2000 strip with a Watchmen cameo, and a short Watchmen essay.
Sunday Morning Coffee by Tang and Clay.
Supernatural Crime in the old pulp tradition!
Talking Head is by Martin who I know from the annual US Go Congress!
TG Life is a monthly comic about transgendered culture. It's on hiatus.
.The Thin H Line is very sick & often hilarious & hentai (porn with anime-style art) not for the squeamish. The author Clay Boutilier also has other good comics including A Heart Made of Glass, which is poignant autobiography of romantic woes. [It appears to be on hiatus now, alas.] [Aha, as of mid-May, it seems to be revived under the name Sexy Losers!]
Three Reasons is satire in an academic lit-crit vein by the inimitable Donald B. Jones III which turns out to anger a lot of people to my bafflement. There is also a new experimental comic strip creator useful for making static layout (Red Meat/Bench/etc) comic strips.
Together We Fall is a fantasy quest tale spoof done with 3d rendered graphics; I normally prefer drawn comics, but this worked for me. It's very sporadically updated.

Unicorn & Butterfly is a comic done with pure ASCII art!
Unicorn Jelly is a weird/cute b&w fantasy comic.
Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) by Goomi is a French cartoonist's fun spin on the Lovecraft mythos!
User Friendly is one of the most popular webcomics, b&w daily techie humor. It's loved by many and hated by many. The sister site UFMedia which tries to sell UF as a brand to companies is amazing overhype and aroused some ire in many people. I think UF is worth a look: not as good as the hard core UFies believe, nor as bad as its bashers say.
Venus Envy is a semi-autobiographical comic about a MTF TS.
Voices in my Hand is one-panel gags, with an inordinate amount of fun tombstone gags.
Weishaupt Scholars. Fnord.
Wendy is silly cheesecake fun with manga-style girls.
When I Am King has slick stylized iconic art.
White House In Orbit is cool alternate universe retro sf.
Wigu is a comic strip about a little family.
You Damn Kid is awesome; the art is very nice and looks like some nostalgic childhood Wonder Years sort of thing, but that's spiked with really dark humor that makes me laugh out loud pretty often. Very unusual.
www.zentoons.com are fun.
Zortic is a fun color wacky space adventure, often incorporating fun spoofs of popular movies. M/W/F.
Zwol is a b&w daily that's kind of meta/literary/artsy with a realistic art style. By which, of course, I mean wonderfulness ensues.
