Least I Could Do (LICD) is a humor webcomic by Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza (also the creators of the fantasy webcomic Looking for Group), which debuted on February 10, 2003. Although Lar deSouza is the current artist, the comic was previously drawn by Chad WM. Porter, for two years, and before that, Trevor Adams.

The primary theme of the strip is sexuality, especially the promiscuity of the primary character, Rayne Summers. The strip updates every day, with Sunday having a Least I Could Do: Beginnings strip. The Beginnings storylines are unrelated to the rest of the strip, instead following Rayne at age 8.

Stories tend to last for only a few strips, but some have gone several weeks. The strip has done fairly long parodies of characters, such as those from The Lord of the Rings, X-Men, G.I. Joe, and Justice League (with Rayne respectively as Aragorn, Wolverine, Flint, and Batman) each taking place where Rayne is either struck unconscious, falls asleep or blacks out. In late 2004, I Have My Moments, a full color book featuring the first year of LICD with Chad Porter as the artist, was published.

The original artist for the strip was Trevor Adams, who drew the strip from its debut until July 18, 2003, later moving on to create his own comic Gemini Paradox. Chad took over on July 28 of that year. In early 2005, the strip underwent a major change when Rayne's friend Noel arrived.

Noel was often given roles that previously would have gone to the character John Gold, whose frequency in the strip was reduced. Rayne soon became a business executive on falsified credentials, with the intent of sleeping with the CEO of IDS Enterprises, Marcy McKean. (Ironically, one of Rayne's biggest breaks has also been one of his biggest failures, as he has, to date, never actually had sex with Marcy).

Least I Could Do "3.0" launched on August 15, 2005 with the departure of Chad as the artist. Lar deSouza, a long time friend of Ryan Sohmer, and his artistic partner on the daily comic In Other News, took over the reins as the artist for Least I Could Do, and has stayed there up to present day. The comic and website have been undergoing some major changes as a result.
