The Webcartoonists's Choice Awards were announced today in an online ceremony which is cute, appropriate, and damn slow on dialup. It also has a bad link between the Artist and Writer categories and no links for the runners-up (and many of these comics have common names, and one you have to misspell the name before Google finds it).
First comic listed is the winner. Bold are ones I follow, italics are ones I don't care for. Links go to the archives or first page (so you don't get spoiled by the latest comic).

[ETA]I've now finished looking at everything that was nominated, and have adjusted the formatting accordingly.[/ETA]

FWIW, if you haven't checked it out recently, Smithson might be worth another look -- they've redone the tech that was so irritating at its inception (with non-obviously scrollable panels that made it nigh-unreadable), and the plot is developing nicely (and I think the second artist is better than the first, but maybe that's just me) into a "supernatural stuff atat a college campus, with heroic protagonists" one.
I also follow Freefall; 'sgood.

I do like Moore's work much better than Stephenson's -- as I found when I re-read the series recently. Though he does have his moments (but then, Moore draws, like, hair).
