I don't think I've seen anyone else mention Texts from superheroes on Lemmy yet.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I just posted a devils panties today. Its a girls diary comic that goes back to 2000 and has a lot of convention stuff.
I'm a big fan of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, a webcomic.
Poorly Drawn Lines.
Not lesser known but my favorite: Gary Larson's The far side always gave me a chuckle.
Well, if you’re looking for unrelatable and occasionally disgusting comics, check out mine. 😎
I think you’re going to have to dig into the wayback machine (because I don’t think they’re actively hosted anywhere anymore?), but Nothing Nice To Say by Mitch Clem was a great punk rock web comic from the 2000s.
Shade the changing girl is kind of an out there comic. I'm also a big fan of Tomboy. American virgin is neat, same with The molting.
Arsenic Lullaby is one of my all-time favorites.
There’s a man who was cursed by a witch doctor and has to get revenge to appease the magic or whatever, but he ran out of people to get revenge on so now he gets revenge on behalf of other people.
There’s a couple of census agents whose job it is to maintain the accuracy of the census by making sure the birth rate matches the death rate.
I won’t spoil any more, but it’s all very sick and hilarious.
Newspaper style comics specifically? Maybe Fraz. Revolves around a janitor working at an elementary school. I haven't kept up with it but the creator cites Calvin and Hobbes as an inspiration and I love what I've read so far.
I loved "The adventures of Oscar Zahn" great read. Alternatively if you have never read Garfield there is a bot who posts all the strip in chronological order over at Garfield@lemmy.world
Also before "The odd ones out" made his weird and abstract comics, he did actually make a funny little series similar to the peanuts
Falseknees makes gorgeous comics about birds. Each strip feels like art
Work chronicles makes funny corporate related strips but has inconsistent posting
Rustledjimmies made some great comics in the past but I haven't heard of him in a long time
Something Positive is a comic I've followed for close to two decades. It's a slice of Life comic that follows a misanthrope named Davan and his (mis)adventures with a lot of dry and relatively poignant humor.
