Our March issue has a dual focus - webcomics that use music (and sound) AND webcomics that focus on music or musicians. Help us out by posting these kinds of webcomics in this thread.
I'll start off with -
1. Brambletown (sound)
2. Magic Inkwell Comic Strip Theatre (has music)
3. Nothing Nice to Say (about music and musicians)
4. Four Fours (about a band)

While it's easy to just Google those strips, can you link 'em? It's nice if I can just middle-click the hell out of a list of links and have a tab-bar full of new comics to read. :D
Kean Soo's Exit Music
Backstage

I know I use my webcomic to promo the hell out of my band Science Ninja Big Ten which will, by they way, be performing with Carole Pope this Friday, January 20th at the Corktown (it's like Hamilton's CBGB) here in Hamilton, as well as a show on Monday, January 23rd at The Underground.
I had actually contemplated doing a Science Ninja Big Ten mini-series since I always depict the band as a team of anime superheros in our promotional posters. I still might do this some day.
There was one GGC comic where I did stick a .midi into the background. It was a speghetti western themesong I had composed that fit well with the comic. Keen's archive system is a little too archaic for me to find it though. It was the first "Hammer's Mysterious Past" strip.
Comics about bands:
Wahoo Morris
Acid Keg
Comics with music:
The Making Them Sing thread in Fans.
The Double
Since you asked, I'll mention it again, and pimp the artitsts who provided music. I ran a series of time-lapse quicktime movies of me drawing the comic, but half the fun was tracking down musicians to provide music as the soundtrack

I'm getting ready to start another season of these movies, so I'll be resuming the hunt for more music (Ghastly?). I really enjoy the whole cross promotion thang.
Sure, go for it!
Try Everything Once is a comic about a SPACE BAND. One of the bandmembers is an alien who eats music. How cool is that?
Star-Cross'd Destiny offers its own soundtrack, all written and performed by the artist.
Hold My Life
Very cool.
I don't know of any other comics to add... but I gotta say the March issue sounds like it is going to be very interesting and fun!
:D
Great stuff!
