MSPaintAdventures is the brainchild of the insane savant Andrew Hussie. It combines elements of Choose Your Own Adventure, text-based adventure games, traditional RPGs and webcomicry. The stories take a little bit to get going, but once they do it is completely amazing what AH comes up with. Both driven by the author and by suggestions from the audience, stories like Problem Sleuth (complete) and the current story Homestuck (in-progress) are full of epic plots, light-hearted and satirical humor and excellent writing. The rate at which Hussie updates is staggering. If more than a few days goes by without an update, it is safe to assume the artist/writer is out of town at a convention, dealing with a flooded apartment or has finally fallen victim to whatever mental illness would spawn such a dedicated effort in the field of web-comics.
I suggest new readers start with Problem Sleuth. You'll thank me later.

@AlwaysAngry: I was completing the quest for making a blog entry and, rather than flap my digital gums about myself, decided to promote something I am a big fan of. Blame Giant Bomb for handing out points for posting stuff.
I am not associated with MSPaintAdventures or Andrew Hussie but I did have dinner with the man once.
I love mspaintadventures. Or perhaps I should say "loved" I still enjoy it... conceptually. The humor is the same. But homestuck doesn't seem to have the same charm that Problem Sleuth did.
