Most of my family does. My parents, eh, they don't really care one way or the other. They'd read it if I asked 'em to, but they aren't going to go out of their way to read a comic, of any sort.
Yep. My dad is one of my main audience. Mom doesn't really read it I think, but she likes to look at things I draw with all the interest of when she used to put my kindergarten finger paintings on the fridge.
My brother and sister aren't into it, but my roommates read my new pages as soon as I draw them (before I scan 'em and fix 'em up) and act as sounding board for my plot ideas.
My comics are about knives, rats, and rats with knives.
I'm PRETTY sure that if i let my parents read Revenge Addict they would somehow make a connection to me and Mer and then things would happen and they would think i would be out to get them O.o...they are paranoid critters~
i dunno about the other ones, the tamest would be the bunnies, i've shown them a few~
yep. Them.

My dad is my art editor. Whenever I need some help with a second opinion I talk to him.
The others I didn't show it to them. They started reading of their own accord. Although having them read has actually turned into a benefit. I've gained quite a few local readers because they shared it with people.
My siblings yes but only one or two of them care. My parents...yes and no. My Dad and step-mom think they are nice and are proud of me. They just don't care much about comics. My Mother and step-dad...they are fanatically Christian and would be very offended by my comics. Pretty much the same with my grandparents. In fact my grandmother told me over and over when I was a kid that art was a waste of time and that I should stop. so...yeah >.>
Good god no, I'm in the closet and in the closet I shall stay.
I've told my friends about it, mainly bragging like a retard that i got 'featured' and i get 'XXXX'# of pageviews, I never give them the name. (they've asked me a lot though) Heck 3 of them tried to find it online, none could.
But even if i was out i think it would be a bit embarrassingo...>_>
I make 13-month calendars with my episodes or research profiles from my comic as the art for each month - They are "stocking stuffers" for my family and have been for the last couple of years.
There's only a couple of people that I know personally that have ever known that I have comics; my dad and a friend of mine. Of course, by now they've probably forgotten. -_-;; It's not something that I'd share with most of the people I know, because I doubt that they'd "get it".
Haha my mother wants to read so badly -- if I'm out of my room and working on a page, she'll constantly be "I want to seeeeeee!" -- but she has a hard time reading comics. She says she can't look at the pictures in the panels and read the words at the same time haha :D
My father, I don't think, doesn't know I have webcomics, and my sister knows the story and all the characters -- and actually converses about them more than I do! -- but she's too lazy to read through the full archives (and yes, she is, actually, lazy).
I have a few real-life friends who've read my comics since I drew piddly little crap things in lined notebooks, and a couple girls from my old high school found my webcomic through my MySpace ( and promptly asked "FFFFFFFFF OMG CHARIL SO COOL WILL YOU DRAW ME PLZ??????" ) but I don't really broadcast it much. If someone asks about it I'll mention it but I don't go around injecting "Yeah, my webcomic, which you can read at blablablaurl.com..." into every conversation I have
Yup. My father doesn't read it, because his English really, really crappy ("Why can't you write in a language I understand!?" he tells me :P), but my brother has read some of it, and my mother has read quite a lot, though none of them are up to date on it.
They're interested, but rarely have the time. Quite a few of my former classmates do read it, though (it started as a school project), and even quite a few of my teachers, but I don't know how many of them keep up with it.
My mom is very interested in my stuff... She even helps me with ideas for the scripts and art. She'll even get mad at me if I don't show my new pages before putting it online! One of my brothers couldn't care less (even before we were in bad terms) and "accidentally" damaged several pages of my comics. The other 2 just don't know I make webcomics.
Only very few friends read my comics, and it's just once in a while...

In Soviet Russia, Freakenburg and Telenime will be relaunched by YOU!!!
My dad and one of my sister's checks out my stuff sometimes. It'd be fine if my mom and other sister read it too, though it's naturally embarrassing. XP
My parents are both aware that I draw comics. Neither of them read them online, but they read the paper originals. My mom occassionally helps out as a sounding board for things like if it's as easy to follow a layout as I think it is or if I'm not sure how to spell a word and don't want to bother looking it up.
Crime Pays, updating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
mine dont. they havent asked and neither have i,havent even really thought about it that much. but my mom is somewhat known. she works on calenders and cards and children's books and the things we do are 2 different sides of the coin.
she's asked me if i ever wanted to help out, but i just havent.
My aunt wouldn't know how to read a comic, and my brother occasionally takes a look. (That's kind of offensive to me, because he likes comics, but won't check mine regularly)

Currently: Nadya is awake and asking more relevant questions.
Don't feel too bad, D0m. I have a sibling who's known about what I do for a long time but looks down their nose at it "because it's comics." Whatever. I consider it their loss.

Yea :3 I show my family, friends, and my fiance my webcomic xD It contains a bit of adult content and bad language, but i'm a grown woman :3 I think everyone around me has accepted that fact by now >:D hehehe ^^
