Schlock Mercenary

schlockmercenary.com.

Long-running science fiction webcomic, mixing humor and drama. Started in June of 2000. Hand-drawn and coloured. Updates once a day, every day, for the last several years. Completely regular in schedule. Creator: Howard Tayler. (A practicing Mormon!)

The creator (and I) recommend this as a starting point. You can start at the very beginning, but the artwork is hideous (there) and the jokes are... hmm. Worse. Or, of course, you could just skim around at random; you'll lose something of the plot, but the strips are designed to generally stand on their own.
