Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Most of Pixie Trix Comics reach an end, moving some of the characters to a spin-off series. Is only slightly less nsfw than Oglaf (kind of "soft-porn Archie"), but I really like their work.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
I've watched both Rich and the story grow for over ten years now, seen him make it through hiatuses and Sir Thumbsalot's tragic indisposition.
It's pretty damn amazing, yeah. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. *knocks on wood*

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
To add an old example of a web comic that finished, back in the olden days of web comics, there was Adventurers. A daily JRPG parody comic that lasted for 6 years and over 999 strips (it stopped counting at 999).

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
How many webcomics are there left these days? Seems like in the early 2000s you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a webcomic, usually one about two gamers on a couch complaining about the newest Call of Duty. These days there are three webcomics I still follow: OotS, Darths and Droids which is also a pretty long running series, and The Draw Play which is a comic making jokes about football which would be of no interest to people who aren't NFL fans.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Quite a few, I'd say. Many long-runners, too. I'm currently reading (apart from OotS and Darths&D.) Wilde Life, Mountain Time, xkcd and Soul to Call with some degree of regularity. String Theory's also still around, although it's really slow these days.
Anyhow, I see little reason to start mourning the industry just yet.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Eh, as far as I'm concerned small time independent local bakeries make up a fair chunk of the baking industry.
Nyhow, it might not be the best term, but it's a lot shorter than "a ton of different independent artists" so I'll elect to choose brevity and convenience over being hairsplitting-proof.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Yeah... seeing OOTS come to an end is amazing, and just... all the story arcs that have woven togeather. Durkon's backstory finally coming out was just.... amazing (previously he had always seemed the most flat, uninteresting character, and then when he finally got the focus it was... wow)
Gonna hop on the Digger Bandwaggon, that story is amazing.
Another one I'ld like to add is All Night Laundry.
Its one of the best stories I've ever read, and also managed to be a Completed, interactive, daily, timetravel webcomic. It literally updated every single day for 7 years. Go check it out.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Adding to the pile on reccomending Digger. It really is that good, and is reminicent of places of Sir Terry's fantasy work. Main character is basically a discworld dwarf to some extent while also being a wombat. Then it also never comes off as a pale imitation.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
You know, I didn't realize so many webcomics had successfully concluded. The only one I could think of off the top of my head was Kid Radd, meaning somehow I managed to forget Digger. And yeah, here's another fan hoping that Order of the Stick joins that small but significant number of webcomics.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Sluggy Freelance, my first webcomic, is still going. Kind of amazing given how many have faded out or simply lost my interest. Girl Genius and Goblins are the only other long form comics that survived since my ever more distant high school days. We’re really lucky to have so many talented artists putting there work out for free anyone to read.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Let's see, which ones haven't been mentioned yet? Irregular Webcomic finished up a while ago and is now doing a rerun with added commentary, which is great because the annotations are excellent. My favourite completed webcomic is A Miracle of Science though.
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Personally, I keep checking for Camp Weedonwantcha to come back from hiatus. I can't say that I particularly identify with any of the kids -- which is a good thing, since the premise is terrifying -- but it and OOTS up there on my list of "webcomics that would make me very sad if they vanished".

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
One thing I look for in a good TV show is one where there are episodic arcs, season arcs, and an overall series arc, each progressing at their own pace.
When you mention Rich's ability to set up and deliver on a joke, that demonstrates to me that OotS does the same thing as the shows I like: each strip has a small story with a payoff at the end, each book has an arc of its own, and the comic as a whole has an arc. As others have said, OotS hasn't crossed the finish line yet, but there nor have there been any major slip-ups (to my mind, anyway).
It's literally the only webcomic I still read, despite starting many of them over the past 20 years, and I think a lot of it comes down to the excellent pacing of strip/book/series arcs being resolved.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
The Shield was very good at this. It had probably the best overall arc I've ever seen, plus really good seasonal arcs that play into the overall narrative, and individual arcs for each episode (which, even though the main story was primarily about the Strike Team, the show contrasted them with enough other cops that they could all have their own stories and keep the main one feeling well-paced, without rushing or stalling it).

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
A little surprised Homestuck hasn't come up yet. That was huge for a time. Problem Sleuth as well, though that had much less of a following.
I think one could also argue that Ctrl-Alt-Delete competed its Story Arc, but thats a whole 'nother thing.

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
Some folks in here mentioned Schlock Mercenary. I met Howard Tayler numerous times at the Dragon's Keep, a little game store in town, he's a really cool dude. He even did some art inside the cover for me. I would start at the beginning of the comic, despite the art quality being not very good (he was just learning how to draw, he got MUCH better as time went on).

Re: I Never Thought I'd See A Webcomic Complete Its Story Arc
A weird example is Wapsi Square, which absolutely positively wrapped up their primary story arc in or around 2012 (the Mayan Calendar being a prominent feature), but then went ahead and reinvented into a slice-of-life monster-school comic. I won't pretend I like the new arc as much as the original, but it is still going.
