We’ve discussed on past episodes of the show that there isn’t a whole lot of independent American style super-hero comics on the web. Comedy gag strips, fantasy stories and manga are all prevalent, but on the web the super-hero is a rare breed. Even when super-heroes do appear it’s usually in parody.
A new comic has been added to Pixel Strips and it seeks to tackle the super-hero genre online in some interesting ways. PixelStrips.com, a web-based comic community created by Kevin Volo, Continue reading
Lulu is quickly becoming the de-facto option for publishing comics to print independently. So many cartoonists have taken advantage of their service this year they could open their own comic book shop. We recently got a press release about two new Bob The Squirrel collections from Frank Page going live on Lulu. Here are all the details.
From the press release: “Cartoonist Frank Page is pleased to announce the release of two new BOB THE SQUIRREL comic strip collections. Continue reading
Alexander Danner, leading the pack in infiniter canvas comics with 5 Ways to Love a Cockroach has compiled a list of webcomics which are complete.
Full Story launched December 1st and has been visited thousands of times already. Full Story is a webcomics memorial and it stands as a testament to all the webcomics which have ended. Not stopped.

If the full story isn’t available, then you won’t find it there.
Here’s yet another Digital Strips comic. Huzzah! This strip poses a question I’ve often wondered myself, just how in the hell did that show get pitched? I mean, really, think about it. You have a room full of TV execs listening to this idea and then look around at each other and decide it’s a good idea? Would this fly today? Bernie Fein was the guy that created the sitcom and he must have been one silver tongued guy to pull that off. Oh well. Enjoy.
We got an interesting press release today announcing the upcoming animated series for Ctrl+Alt+Del, the very successful gamer comic by Tim Buckley. The animated series will debut online in February of 2006, consisting of a brand new 4-5 minute animated short every month. All new material, fully animated, featuring professional voice actors. This is a very big move for a webcomic and we can’t wait to see how this turns out.
An online trailer for the upcoming series can be seen here: www.cad-animation.com.
