The good folks aver at the web comic And Then You Die have announced a new contest. We like hearing about the different ways comics come up with to promote themselves. For this contest they are asking people to read through their archives and list all the cultural references mentioned throughout the whole comic. As [...]

Digital Strips : Show 33 [15.4 MB] On this show we discuss my absence from Otakon. We receive T-shirts from Please Rewind. I get a book from Dave Kellett with a collection of strips from his comic Sheldon. We also discuss the recent New York Times article on web comics and Ryan Estrada’s 168 (175?) [...]
Talk About Comics – Joey Manley has a nice little write up of Scott McCloud’s book Reinventing Comics. This is a response to the recent drama over the viability of webcomics as a medium. Manley makes several good points concerning how the same old topics are being debated (infinite canvas, micropayments, etc.) even though it’s [...]
With all the love expressed by the recent NY Times article it’s nice to find that there are people writing articles on the subject who actually read the material. Two days ago Ryan Nyburg wrote a rather pleasant article in the Oregon Daily Emerald about comics on the internet being a GOOD idea. He points [...]
If you are in the market for some original web comic artwork this month is a good time to get your hands on some good pieces. Wes Molebash, the cartoonist from Viper Comics, has started selling his original comic strip art from his strip You’ll Have That. Wes is clearly reluctant to sell the work, [...]
In a twist, that’s more ironic when considering the name of the strip, Dan Piraro has submitted two different versions of his strip Bizarro to newspapers. The original version of the strip had an unsettling comment directed at government views on gay marriage. In the strip a doctor is talking to a man outside a [...]
It was only a matter of time before such a group was created. In Savage Disassembly what we have is a peer review community for and by comic writers and artists for the purpose of helping the web comic community. Despite the overwhelming number of web comics one must first realize just how few respected [...]
Sarah Boxer has an article in the New York Times today about the state of web comics as seen through all the 2005 winners of the Web Cartoonists Choice Awards. The apparent gist of the article is web comics are kind of neat, but they aren’t quite there yet. Just like every other major media [...]
With August half over I thought it was a good time to remind everyone about our ongoing contest, the Web Comics Scavenger Hunt. We’re asking people to gather a list of links to comics about Pirates (no more than 5 comics from any one site) and send them into us. The deadline is midnight of [...]
