xkcd does it with completely shit art, too. The major lessons are that marketing merchandise related to the comic is the best way to actually make money, and that the best way to get an audience is to follow a frequent and fairly strict update schedule. Of the comics I listed here, the one with the slowest schedule is Achewood, and its updates are often 12 to 16 panel monsters.
Schlock Mercenary has the strictest update schedule, with Tayler having never missed an update since he started the strip in June of 2000. Aside from Daisy Owl and xkcd, it is the comic with content most appropriate for people who decry moral turpitude. It's got a lot of action, on a grand scale, often resembling the adventure serials of Tayler's childhood. Simply put, questionable art and story or no, it succeeds by dint of being reliable and entertaining without being outright shocking to mid-western American values.
