I'll have to vote for Dresden Codak: his epic sci-fi vision, every episode drawn in elaborate murals, is addicting and challenging. The star, Kimiko Ross (portrait with coffee in my Public Profile) is a teenage girl fascinated with physics and robotics, who is called to use her skills when Earth is invaded by time travelers.
A very close runner-up: Goats, another epic but in a funny, Bizarro World vein.
What's your favorite?

Penny Arcade. Nails the pop angst perfectly.

Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104), Skin Horse (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/toc.php), and Gunnerkrigg Court (http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1) are probably my three favourites.

Ditto here. Love Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/). Actually found out a couple of months ago that my aunt knows "Tycho's" wife in real life; she started telling me about this girl she used to babysit who's husband "actually made a living" from doing some sort of weird comics online. I started laughing. :)

Apologies, admin. DresdenCodak.com (http://www.DresdenCodak.com)
Goats is part of the Dumbrella (http://www.dumbrella.com/) group, which contains links to the awesome strips Scary-Go-Round, Overcompensating and lots more.
Here's something that just makes me laugh a lot: Wonderella (http://www.nonadventures.com)! Root for the lamest superhero of them all. And here's one I fell for recently, called Flaky Pastry (http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/cast.php). It's about elves in the real world, sort of.
Have fun!

I thought Scary-go-round was on permanent hiatus?

Love her! Have you seen the artist's older strip, Kilroy and Tina? I do not know the linkie. I think it might be moderntales.com archives and all password protected.

Zap in Space (http://www.zapinspace.com) it's an SF epic and you can now buy the first volume book form.

No Scary-go-Round is producing new episodes as we speak. I'll check out Kilroy/Tina, good tip! To the googles...

Zap in Space is fun, and it is one of those where the art gets better. A lot better. Though a few notes on anatomy still wouldn't go amiss.

Must confess I'm enjoying Gunnerkrigg Court, clever stuff, cute art, many LOL moments. I'm @ 220 or thereabouts.

Edit: Aaaiiieee! I got to 410 -- there's no more!!

Sluggy Freelance (www.sluggy.com) is all kinds of awesome. It's one of those ongoing storyline ones, so you pretty much have to read it from the beginning.
Starslip Crisis (www.starslipcrisis.com) is a pretty good sci-fi comic. Mr Jinx is funny as hell. Again, one you really need to read from the beginning.
Basic Instructions (www.basicinstructions.net) is embarrassingly funny, ie - get ready to be embarrassed by your snorts of laughter if you read it in public.
