Antihero For Hire is fun. Nobody Scores! is too, though he just moved to a multicomic format from a one-shotish, so we'll se how that turns out. Cat and Girl is like Calvin and Hobbes, except entirely different. Then there's Octopus Pie, which is Meredith Gran, so it's totally awesome And if you are not reading Dr. McNinja, what is wrong with you, man?
Ah yeah, Cat and Girl is kinda niche, unfortunately.
I'd suggest giving McNinja a second shot. If you really can't get into it, you could probably start out with chapter 3 and not miss much, and really that's approximately where it starts getting into it's stride.
The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: Excellent super-hero parody, though not as badass as Dr. McNinja. Wapsi Square: Starts off as slice-of-life, but eventually goes into far more interesting territory. Rice Boy: An amazing comic that everyone in the world should read. If I had to describe it in very few words, I'd say it was like a collaboration between the author of Bone and Neil Gaiman. Rice Boy itself is a completed comic, but the author is also currently doing a prequel series. Zebra Girl: The art and characterization in this comic have impressed me, but sadly it only updates once in a blue moon nowadays. Goblins: Another D&D comic. If you like Order of the Stick, you'll probably like this. (Speaking of OotS, why the heck isn't Battle for Gowbin Knob on your list?) No Need For Bushido: This one rarely fails to entertain me. It's obviously a parody on various historical-genre anime/manga series, but it still also manages to manifest its own plot and humor quite well.
Gunnerkrigg Court - As Sun mentioned, magitech-fantasy-schoolkid-slice-of-life at its finest. I've donated during this artist's "give me $20 and I'll draw a custom drawing for you" thing several times and gotten such gems as the Gunnerkrigg Shark and Alternate Universe Boxbot. Very fun comic.
Dr. McNinja - As Setz said, you might want to give it another shot, cause I find it hilariously awesome.
Freak Angels - A little more serious and gritty, but amazing artwork. I look at this comic when I start to tell myself that drawing buildings sucks.
Wondermark - Also of the funny variety, and a lot more interesting that 18th-century engraving art would indicate. The alt text often makes the comic, so don't forget to read it.
