Pencil is best in my view, it just looks more characterful and "alive" then computer drawn images.
Things drawn on computer have a terrible tendency to all start to look the same as each other, in my experience.

pencil/ink for me. But that's only because that's all I have

I do both. I prefer to draw on paper as it feels more natural but I tend to like the stuff I create digitally better and it's easier. However because it feels more natural to draw on paper I still do that more. My paper drawn comics update more frequently than my digital which has gaps of years between updates.

I think there are several people out there that create pure digital art that I would never be able to tell apart from natural media. Wish I had their skills and commitment.

I strive to be able to do that. Slowly...slowly... (But I'm getting addicted to digital media's polish, argh!)

Some people on Conceptart do that with only one brush in Photoshop too. It makes my head burst.

And since I haven't replied here before, I'll say that I've gone all digital in my comic creation because it's easier and faster, but I feel the sting. The attractive roughness of pencils or the quality of ink on paper is no longer present... you have to emulate it digitally if you want it at all, and it's poor emulation at best. D:

So I'm going back to sketchbook sketching to compensate. My physical sketches seem a lot less dynamic and more errored, but I still have a fondness for them - even for all the masses of bad crap I penciled last year. It's worth it being able to actually sketch.

As a man that has all options I tend to mix it up a bit though I mostly favor the a mechanical pencil and ink because thats what feels natural to me, also I love having some originals that look half way decent aswell and not just having everything on the computer, I however never color on paper because that doesnt feel natural to me I have once or twice and I generally hate it. Though sometimes I have slipped and done Art completely digitally and sometimes completely ...non digitally. And when it comes to other peoples comics I favor quality if you've got a shitty flash comic I'll probably look away but its not like I wouldnt do the same if you have a shitty pencil comic or a shitty ballpoint ink comic, generally shitty things. I really feel its rediculous to be bound by either one.

I like whatever's good. Some people have shaky-tablet-hand syndrome and use the airbrush tool in ps a little too gratuitously, others have messy pencil art haunted by palimsestic ghosts of erroneous lines (lol big word... means half-erased. don't ask why. I just like it).
If someone's comic is done well, I'll read it. I think it's easier nowadays to do good art digitally-- I don't mean it in a mean way; I think it's true of myself too. (I can draw faster and cleaner in photoshop, and fix things up and undo; whereas with my comic, which is in watercolor, if I smudge something, IT'S SMUDGED for GOOD.) So I think generally digital stuff looks a little better, but there's something beautiful and organic about hand-drawn stuff that computers can't get (although they're getting closer and closer).
I'm more in support of non-digital, just because it's a dying breed-- I mean, look at the recent surge in CGI movies versus 2D animation (a tragedy, in my opinion.) So while I appreciate both, I prefer noon-digital, even just on principal alone.

I really prefer to sketch on paper with pencils, preferably at least three kinds (though often I only have a pencil and a small one at that), and then I scan in and ink and colour on the computer with a tablet. That is, when I got the time. But sketching on paper is a must for me.

On the computer I can paint or draw, but a single image. I just can't plot a comic page on it.
