    .You should add "Girl Genius" which started Monday, November 04, 2002. ..<https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104>

    .It definitely is Speculative Fantasy Fiction.

    .Another even older online strip covering the bases of Speculative
    Fantasy and Science Fiction is of course "Sluggy Freelance" which is
    about 28 years of age.
    .I cannot point to the strip that begins it all but look at the Archives.

    -a-a-a-aI cannot point to the strip that begins it all but look at the Archives.

    .In the archive you should start with "Isn't it Nifty" which is volume 1
    of the nearly endless adventures of The deadly Lop, Torg, Riff, and girl friends as well as additional animals {talking) demons and aliens
    (friendly).
    Unfriendly characters may go on for a long long time but eventually they disappear sometimes to be trapped in the Books of Uglee and Evil.

    "Questionable Content" and "A Girl And Her Fed" are awesome.

    Sadly, AGAHF is getting ready to shut down. But Spangler's alternate
    site is going strong.
