I haven't read Misfile in a while, I should go back through the archive 
and pick up where ever I left off.

If you like stories like that, or just really outside the accepted norm 
stories, may I suggest:

http://www.thewotch.com/
http://www.wapsisquare.com/
http://www.abstractgender.com/ all but dead without an artist now
http://elgoonishshive.com/

less safe for work
http://queer.comicgenesis.com/
http://venusenvy.comicgenesis.com/

and then for the even more unsafe for work, and by that I mean don't 
read these at work at all:
http://www.tmi-comic.com/

and not a webcomic but a web novel
http://www.talesofmu.com/

My favorite scene: Author posts a note he'll be away a couple weeks. 
In-strip narrator does a bit of ritual human sacrifice so he can talk to 
the audience without the artist interfering. Which you only see if you 
mouse-over the comic. Which goes away when the artist gets back.

The guy has a pretty sick imagination, altho it seems to have run down 
some and gotten kind of lame. The earlier arcs were edgier, and the 
latest one isn't bad, but ...

If the first strip is disturbing, I'd suggest not continuing.

A lot of times I go for the art more than anything else. If it doesn't 
look good, its too distracting for me, and I lose interest in the comic 
fast. This one isn't too bad. Might be worth adding to my comic list.

already". o_O

Why did you have to mention this?  I spent 3 1/2 hours last night going 
through the archives!

Heh, things got interesting after #500... Now at #660.

And impressively I'm also progressing in the "productive stuff"...
