Comics strips: What do you read?

I would make this a poll, but with the amount out there and my general, to this point, uninterest in them have me very unknowledgable on them.

Recently, I've become addicted to Plaver Vs. Player. I've read them for at least an hour everyday for the past week. I've been reading the archives, and soon, I'll be all caught up. I also plan on reading Order Of The Stick again. I think I got up around 80 or 90 in them, and it's well over 200 now.

My question is, what comic strips do you read? Got any good suggestions? In case you haven't noticed, I'm really into the geek humor.

Not really into the whole comic book thing. I could get into the graphic novels, but with this thing I have about reading/seeing everything from the start and in order, jumping into Comic Book #173 and going from there, when the first 30 have become rare/expensive/hard to get, just doesn't appeal to me.

for syndicated stuff, Frazz, Get Fuzzy, and FoxTrot.

On the web, College Roomies from Hell (www.crfh.net), General Protection Fault (www.gpf-comics.com), Shortpacked! (www.shortpacked.com), PvP (already mentioned, I believe) and 8-Bit Theatre (www.nuklearpower.com/latest.php).

For newspaper strips, and some webcomics, there's a nice little program here that'll download whichever ones you want and display them on a single webpage:

http://www.evan.org/Software/Comics.html
(doesn't seem to be supported anymore, though)

As far as online stuff, Penny Arcade's still my favorite, and lately I've also been reading:

Scary Go Round - offbeat humor/horror with dialogue that's just...engaging, somehow; unfortunately he's just gone back to doing it in Adobe Illustrator after experimenting with some really nice hand-drawn strips (and don't judge the quality by this week's strips; he does this 'albums I like' thing periodically.)

Girl Genius - vaguely steampunk-type thing by Phil Foglio; elaborate, colorful art and engaging characters. Foglio's been around forever; I used to read his stuff in Dragon magazine way back in the early 80's and was pleasantly surprised to run across this new series from him.

Baby Blues

wasn't funny at all when I was younger (not even sure if it existed) now that I have 4 kids it is frighteningly funny, but this is clearly only funny I think if you are a parent.

while I don't really read it on a daily basis, I've bought a whole bunch of Baby Blues collection and they are amazingly funny, if you are a parent. Very, very good stuff...

Among my daily reads I got Cleats (I'm a soccer dad, heh) and "In the Bleachers" on my Yahoo homepage.
