Go to Gunnerkrig Court. Read some of the comments on any given strip.
Gouge out your eyes and come running to the bastion of worldly intellectualism that is Acheworld.
It's a moronic wankfest as opposed to the fascinating and valuable wankfest here, and I've seen the same thing on other comics that enable comments.
Gunnerkrig Court is a superb bit of work, so it isn't just the quality of the comic reflecting in the comments.
I'd guess it's the intellectual flair of Achewood (I feel kind of silly but kind of awesome saying this when the specific strip I'm commenting under portrays a cat having water poured into a cup on a cantilever attached to his groin, while an alive stuffed bear watches in bewilderment.

Me. I've just discovered Achewood and have read through the whole archive (well, I'm up to here now), and I tend to read most of the comments. In fact, the main reason I signed up was because the curiosity of what was containted in all the comments that had been lamed out of existence was becoming too great.

Also to Gunnerkrigg's credit you can't read comments unless they are from THAT day, there is no comments archive, so if you are reading through it for the first time you are spared the idiocy.

Full Disclosure:
I am one of the folks known to contribute many non-strip-related comments in the current day, and I am wending my way through the archives once more, to read the old comments and make contributions.
Though in the current strips I often scroll past vast wastelands of posts I have no interest in, there are many many nuggets of pure gold to be mined in nearly every strip's posts. I encourage you to mine them.
