Rather simple question, I guess. I'm looking for webcomics that aren't the typical geek/video-game humor. I want something with a bit more substance, an actual story, updated routinely and, if at all possible, good art to boot.
Anyone got any suggestions? If you need an example of something I'm looking for 'Zombie Hunters' is a great comic that fulfills my prerequisites. Something cool, maybe a bit dark that draws you in fast. It can be "real life", sci-fi, fantasy, alternate reality...whatever, I'm pretty open. Just something that isn't always three panels with a punchline at the end.

The first 10 pages or so are just bitching about CAD, but from there on out it touches on pretty much every good webcomic out there at some point.

Neither of them are as good as TZH, and I don't necessarily think TZH is particularly good; more interesting than entertaining thanks to its takes on zombie types and science. It's too slow paced and updates far too infrequently because of that, at just 1 page a week, IMOH.
They do have ongoing narratives, however.

My only problem with it is the above. fucking titlebar pains me.
What you are looking for is Minus.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
you gotta read from the beginning to understand the characters.
NOW
updates once a week, which is kind of slow i guess but at least its regular!
its got a bit of an archive too which is a good use of an hour

Fletcher here speaks the truth; The Abominable Charles Christopher is easily one of the best webcomics I've read. I wish it updated more frequently, but the art is consistently great and the author is telling a very interesting story, so I think it's worth the tradeoff.
Damn. Beaten.
Seriously are you still here reading this? Go. Go now and read this kickass comic.
EDIT: Also dresden codak. Updates once an ice age but it's gold.
Still has alot of D&D jokes here and there though. So if you don't play or have played the game, it may not be as funny for you. Just saying.
Edit: And what was that one comic (I think its officially dead now) concerning multiple factions of generic soldiers? They were all stuck in a city and were fighting each other for some reason they couldn't remember, parodying multi player FPS's? The protagonists were of the red faction if I remember, and they all wore gas masks or something...
Really funny stuff.

My two favorites.

Sweet Christ that is fucking epic.
Don't get me wrong, I read Dinosaur Comics every day, but admit it: you didn't even read the OP, did you?

daisy owl has all of the things he is looking for. The story is a little loose at times, but I didn't realize we were being graded.

Here's a link to the first one...it needs to be read in order. The art starts off pretty good, but it gets better. She also does a lot of hand inked and watercolored comics which is cool.

While not outside of the fantasy /video-game humor D&D element LFG is progressing with a degree of plot. It started off as a jab at MMORPG's with a degree of dark humor but that has begun to be replaced by a more serious plot development. I really enjoy reading it and it has Richard.
It's in full A4 color and is updated two times a week and is counting at 9 issues with around 30 pages in each one.
I was toying with the idea of mentioning this, I really like this comic. Questionable content is in a similar vain and updates every weekday, the artwork is pretty good these days too.

I really thought this went down the drain when i stopped reading it a few months ago... Something big was happening and a absolutely couldn't care what was going on exactly...
My suggestion is The Abominable Charles Christopher http://www.abominable.cc/
It's a bit of a fable that mixes some mystery with humour and quite possibly at times the best art i've seen on any (web) comic.
I'd never read FreakAngels before seeing this thread. So far it's actually pretty great.
Wapsi square is also a pretty good comic in terms of story/characters, until it kind of breaks down into a paranormal-emo crisis, but it's a good read up until then.
I also used to read Zap! In Space, a sci-fi graphic novel about "space captain Zap Vexler, captain of the starship Excelsior, and his crew". The art starts off mediocre but gets ALOT better, and the story is pretty engaging too. The only reason I stopped reading because i'm too impatient for weekly updates, there is a big archive to work through now though.
oh god... I'm actually crying a bit right now. Damn you sir!
