One of the best ways to get a break from the daily grind is to read web comics.

Here are some that I enjoyed that sadly have been abandoned by their creators and live on thanks to cheap bandwidth and storage.

Now you can enjoy them from the beginning knowing you will not have to wait tantalised for the next episode, because there won't be one.

Alien Loves Predator
The daily life of an Alien and a Predator as flatmates in modern New York.
http://alienlovespredator.com/

Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy
Anime influenced comedy about an alien princess with amazing superpowers.

Maxwell The Demon
He is an executive in Hell, dealing with a range of accountancy problems.

Muertitos
Dead children’s souls get resurrected as various fantasy-horror creatures on a distant alien planet where they have to go to high school.

If you want to read one that's still going on I highly recommend Girl Genius. Alternatively Buck Godot is by the same author and has stopped its production run (I honestly think the writers of Mass Effect had read Buck Godot at some point. One of the chapters is set on-board a carbon copy of the citadel, right down to various semi-spoiler plot elements).

Just keep in mind the author draws adult comic books as well, so you can see that sometimes in his style (not ever NSFW, but you can see some times where he had to reign himself in). Also don't go poking around too far in his online store...

I'll have to read these when I have some spare time.

Here's another I can contribute. Good story and some pretty good artwork.

I loved AvP. I met the artist at ICON a few years back. Pretty nice guy.

I'm laughing so hard at Alien loves Predator my girlfriend just told me to shut the bloody hell up. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Squats in space ?

They haven't been funny in a long time.

Take a look for Concerned, which was surprisingly good for it's format: a comic about a tragically named NPC, Gordon Frohman, in Half Life 2. I know it still lives on but can't get a link here at work.

Be warned it is NSFW

It's also not dead.

Well then, Concerned was a little funny as well as being dead.

Everyone in the tech support industry is probably familiar with that one. A few years back, I think the creator suffered from losing two close family members almost one right after the other, and took an extended hiatus that has continued to this day. However, there are still years of content to read (it was a daily strip).

Surprised no one put this up.

The old classics are the best.
