One of the greatest things the internet has done is provide hours of free entertainment for anyone willing to do even the most cursory look. Another great aspect is that it seems comics are no longer just things that fat, sweaty nerds drool over in their parent's basement, webcomics have become (kind-of) cool. But if you are new to the medium it may seem daunting to sift through the hundreds of different comics available, so, because we love you, TheScene has compiled a list of the top ten comics available for free on the web!

They are in an order based on not only funnies, but also social relevance, creative ideas, amount of effort evident (artistry as well as amount of updates and quality of updates) and also their place in the history of the webcomic!
