Okay--I only became interested in webcomics the lst few years and I'm old enough to remember many of the ones you mentioned! You don know many of the old strips from newspaper days are now being rerun online by the syndicates that own them? I haven't yet seen Terry and the Pirates, but Steve Canyon is now on Humorous Maximus, and The Phantome old and new is King Features Syndicate. My criteria for a web comic is good artwork, and adventure with a decent storyline. Girl Genius hits well here, along with Mega Tokyo. Although MT's plot line can be a little confusing at times, I have actually bought the books to keep up. Another new one by an amature is Get Medieval, entertaining and nice artwork, regular posting. Alpha Shade is a good one with a twisty story, and Lackadaisy has beautiful artwork if you don't mind cats! The Wotch--while not having the best artwork, is an entertaining story, Crimson Dark is a new one that promises to be good, Tales of the Revenant is black and white, but is fairly dark in a Phantom-ish way. The Rainbos Orchid is another one with beautiful artwork and an excellent storyline. Classic newspaper strip style isn't seen so much anymore since webcomics allow for a different stle of format. Try some of the ones I've suggested here and see what you think!
