First things first: I would be remiss in my duties as a writing contributor who also blogs on the side while reporting (official title – tentative) if I didn’t first link the main content of this entry. So here they are: your 2007 WCCA Nominees (whether you like them or not)!
If you’re in webcomics [...]

What’s the average age of a web comic? 1 year? 2? Perhaps 100 strips? We get a lot of people telling us about those. What about 7.5 years and 1000 strips? I’m pretty sure that makes you damn near eternal. That’s exactly what PC Weenies is. Krishna M. Sadasivam has been doing his strip so [...]

I don't have a lot to say about it but this is the coolest thing I think I've seen come out of Web comics in at least a good month or so. Of course, I'm an aspiring writer and huge fan of Dinosaur Comics so Ryan North pretty much had me from 'Hello.'

I dropped by Vericon, a sci-fi/fantasy/gaming/anime con at Harvard this weekend, to check out their awesome webcomics panel: R Stevens (Diesel Sweeties), Shaenon Garrity (Smithson,Narbonic), Jeff Rowland (Wigu, Overcompensating), and Paul Southworth (Ugly Hill).
The mood was informal, and the panelists spent most of their time parrying questions from the audience, ranging from queries [...]

What’s this, am I actually writing an opinion piece? The truth is I’ve been so buried restoring all the archives that I just haven’t had the time to do more then just report the news, but it’s finally all over and now it’s time to step out into the light. About every other day the [...]

I was cruising Comixpedia this morning and as usual, Xerexes had a link to an article about Web comics, which had links in it to other articles about Web comics and before I knew it an hour was gone. The sacrifices I make for you people.
Anyway, the main article that started my decent into another [...]

Digital Strips : Show 106
[8.51 MB]
Phil actually managed to pick a good strip. All three of us couldn’t help but completely over-analyze this strip and make completely random predictions. Also to make my life a living hell my laptop has decided to record a huge amount of ambient noise so loud you can’t hear Phil. [...]

After all the hubbub and even hullabaloo (that’s right, I went there) around here about the WCCAs and the questionable clout they have with webcomics as a viable art form and business, I figured it was high time we cranked it up a notch and got EVERYONE involved.

Digital Strips : Show 105
[9.03 MB]
Just think if I had waited just two more days this show would have marked exactly 2 years that the DS podcast has been podcasting. Considering my memory the only reason I even know that is because I just spent the last month restoring all the archives. Everything from the [...]

The post I wrote a few weeks ago about why webcomics aren’t included in best-of-the-year lists has sparked a discussion on the print side of the comics blogosphere about what people like and don’t like (mostly don’t like) about webcomics. Now, you can read this as a lot of bitching and moaning from people who [...]
