Anime Boston webcomics chat

Posted by Brigid on Apr 30th, 2007

I managed to spend two whole days at Anime Boston without seeing any anime at all. In fact, they should really retitle it Anime and Webcomics Boston, as there was a strong webcomics presence in Artists Alley and I saw some really interesting work. One of the highlights was chatting with artists J. Dee Dupuy [...]

I’m Back and Here Are the Shout-Outs

Posted by daku on Apr 30th, 2007

It’s been a fantastic 6 weeks and I’ve added a few more pins to my wall map. The only thing I didn’t do is try to meet strangely large amount of Australian web comic artists. Enough of me talking about me and let’s all listen to someone else talk about DS. That’s right, yet another [...]

Things Have Gotten Out of Hand

Posted by The Geek on Apr 24th, 2007

I do apologize profusely for not reporting this when it happen on Friday. I've been up to my face in assembly code and it ain't pretty (the code, my face is very pretty). Apparently Fleen has done a much better job of covering this whole Todd Goldman/David Kelly fiasco. So much better that Goldman is [...]

It’s because Scott McCloud Never Wears a Skull Bikini

Posted by The Geek on Apr 21st, 2007

Some people wonder what they should study to know how to make a comic. While I think the multitude of how-too books out there will certainly strengthen your understanding of the medium and thereby your comic, I firmly believe that if you critically read other comics (both good and bad) and see what they do, [...]

NOW We’re A Webcomic ~OR~ Tonight! We Blog! In HELL!

Posted by midnightcartooner on Apr 20th, 2007

When every other webcomic out there does a riff on 300, you can’t help but join in.

Literary linkage

If you devour every issue of the New York Review of Books, have I got the webcomic for you!
Even if you don’t, you’ll probably recognize a lot of the characters in Art Imitating Lit, a handful of comic strips by Patricia Storms that skewer chick-lit-crit, big-box bookstores, Oprah’s book club, and pretentious writers named Jonathan.

Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me I Forgot the Title?

Posted by The Geek on Apr 17th, 2007

Another comic, this time looking at a possible reason for the lack of turn out for our contest. How’d I do? I’m I getting warmer? Are you guys just holding out for a chance to kick one of us in the junk? Is that what you people really want?

Academia nuts

Posted by Brigid on Apr 16th, 2007

OK, this is seriously cool: Postmodern Haircut is a webcomic devoted entirely to the linguist/political activist/media critic Noam Chomsky.
While Chomsky fans will probably get bigger laughs out of this, Postmodern Haircut dips into a universal well for its humor: In the comic, Chomsky is portrayed as a clueless academic with a smart-alecky dog, Predicate, who [...]
