I started reading the webcomic Questionable Content a day or two ago, currently up to just over 50 comics in, so far (out of 4334 and still ongoing, as of the time of this post).
Probably the worst thing about it is reading the commentary under under those circa 2003 early pages, where the author talks about other webcomics he likes and... around 99% of the links now lead to domain parking pages or 404 not found pages. It's a bit depressing.[1]
That said, my "Comics to Maybe Try Later" bookmark list has grown to 324 since last I mentioned it, so it's not all that depressing. Not like I'll ever get through even half of that list, without needing to add more to it (not that that'll stop me), even if I did nothing whatsoever but read webcomics from now on, which is not a thing I'm going to do.
Oh, and between that previous post there and now, I've also gone through the entirety of Guilded Age, which was pretty awesome. For some reason, I never made a post about that, so I'll just use this post as a twofer.
[1] - Similarly, I was looking back through my older posts about webcomics, and the same thing was happening there, too, i.e. links going to 404 and domain camping pages. I briefly started to try to update those posts, but then just gave up on it. Meh. Guh. Blah.
