Resource: Creative Commons Webcomics

One thing that back-filling this blog from my saved links showed me is that if I want to retain my current format I need more Creative Commons webcomics. This page is listing all currently published, safe for work, ones I currently know of.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not planning on restricting coverage to Creative Commons, it's that I want to publish my blog under a Creative Commons licence which means that any images I (re)publish need to also be under a Creative Commons compatible licence. For administrative ease I've interpreted that as meaning under a Creative Commons licence.

I'm not going to add webcomics I don't read into my reading list or even pretend to, but I can certainly list them here in a second table.

My current Creative Commons reading list.

These are humourous webcomics with an RSS (or atom) feed available under a Creative Commons licence that I don't normally read. It's all a matter of time and personal taste. If you like them that's good. I'm not threatened by your personal taste, I hope you aren't threatened by mine.
