Back from blogging purgatory (working on two comics along with a real, honest-to-goodness social life is tough work!) to drop the news of a phone app based on one of our favorite webcomics! Lucas Turnbloom’s Imagine THIS is now available in handy, portable format for all of you who love reading comics on your smartphone/mobile [...]

Webcomics ~ARE~ Taking Over… Webcomics? (Zuda, That Is)
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in Editorial
The new contestants for Zuda went up this morning, and Webcomics are representin’ in this battle of the webcomic heavyweights!
Both Brock Heasley (The Superfogeys) and Ryan Estrada (every other webcomic on the ‘Net, including a previous Zuda entry) are competitors in this month’s Zuda contest, so I’ll be keeping an extra critical eye on the [...]

You Need To Go Now ~AND~ Read Axecop (UPDATED)
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in News
This one comes late in the day, straight from the Twitters (via Lucas Turnbloom, creator of Imagine This and the latest participant in the Digital Strips Adventures experiment) and it will make your day, no doubt.
Reading like an Adult Swim bit, Axecop purports to be written by 5-year-old Malachai Nicolle and his brother, 29-year-old Ethan Nicolle. The story behind the strip is strange and fascinating enough, but it’s when you actually get to the “story” that the true magic begins.
Sure, I had no idea what a Xeric Grant did when I scoped this post over at Brigid’s Paperless Comics blog (the best Digital Strips alternative you’re not reading), so I checked out their About Us section. Looks like this foundation grants assistance to dedicated self-publishing comickers and if that title applies to any comic, Shi Long Pang is it.

January Zuda Competition Now Down To Nine ~AS~ The Thunderchickens Bows Out
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in News
For the first time since the whole, grand experiment began, the ten contestant pool of Zuda competitors has been slimmed down to nine. For reasons that are still unknown, the number one strip as of this morning, The Thunderchickens, has removed itself from consideration. The official word from Zuda blogger and Vice President of Creative Services for DC Comics, Ron Perazza, explained the disappearance while leaving the details shrouded in secrecy:
Last night The Thunderchickens resigned the competition. I won’t go into the specifics behind the resignation other than to say that its a decision that Chad, 3iLL and the staff here mutually agreed was the best course of action given recent events.

The Washington Post Runs Webcomic Poll ~THAT~ You May Or May Not Care About
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in News
It’s become fairly commonplace for big news outlets to talk about webcomics like they know what’s up. It’s become even more usual for these same outlets to miss the point completely, talking up Comics.com strips instead of those that were birthed and cared for on the web.

Ryan Estrada Needs ~YOUR~ Help To Make His Movie Project Happen
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in Announcement, News
I am privy to secret information. There is an awesome reason to donate what you can to Ryan Estrada’s movie project based on his Zuda entry, The Kind You Don’t Take Home To Mother. I can’t say what, and I can’t say who it involves, but it does involve getting a couple of awesome names to play characters in the film and it can only be done with your generous donations.
Go to the TKYDTHOM donation page, give what you can (Kickstarter-style, so you even get something for your contribution) and make this dream come true!

Ryan Estrada Planning Movie Based ~ON~ His Hit Zuda Entry
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in News
Ok, to be a hit, it probably would have to win the monthly contest, but come on! This sweet, charming, funny comic should have won that month, no question. Regardless, Estrada has decided to do what he usually does and just turn it into something amazing on his own.

Published in News, Web Comics in Print
Last week, Ryan Sohmer announced that he and Lar DeSouza would be working together on a redux of the first 127 Least I Could Do strips, originally illustrated by Trevor Adams. As Sohmer himself puts it:
While I’m not proud of the writing done in those strips, they nonetheless contain many historic moments that still [...]

Horribleville Vol. 1 ~NOW~ Up For Pre-Order
Posted by midnightcartooner in 2010
Published in News, Web Comics in Print
If you like webcomics and especially enjoy humorous, grotesque, random comics that tell just about any story you could think of in a childish, sophomoric manner, then you must have heard of KC Green. The man excels at keeping things simple and yet ridiculously funny and has done so with various titles, like his current hit, Gun Show, and Horribleville, the precursor to the Gun Show that delved into the twisted pseudo-real life of KC Green.
