xkcd

xkcd is, um, rather hard to describe. But it's a comic and it's funny. It's probably a PG-13 rating though for some language and adult situations. You use the link to start at the beginning but as there's no real plot and a fair chunk of the earlier stuff is nothing but doodles, you may want to jump ahead 50 or 60 pages and then start. Or you could awalys look at or rapidly skip past the doodles.
Plot: There's no real plot to speak of. It's mostly one-shot gag strips. There's the occasional recurring character and a few sets of several strips in a row, but it's mostly random humor. Topics vary considerably but common ones include romance, science, and math.
Art: Stick figures mostly. You definately read this for the humor, not the art.
Things to Know: If you hold your mouse over each strip for a second, the little info pop-up contains an often witty comment from the author.
Favorite Strips: When you want to really impress someone this is totally the thing to do. I should really print a copy of this one for my parents. If you've spent any sort of significant time using Windows, you'll like this one. And this is just plain funny.
