Month: November 2003

Adam Felber, blogger and guest on NPR’s “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” quiz show has posted another topical webcomic entitled “Bush N’ Rummy in the Sunny Triangle” on his site Fanatical Apathy. Continue Reading →

Iain Hamp is a contributing columnist to Comixpedia and creates the webcomic Darwin’s Complex.

1. Felaxx by Amy Kim Ganter. Just a fun, crisp story with solid artwork (plus I’m a sucker for stories of people from modern society entering bizarre fantasy environments).

2. 10 Commandments by Derek Kirk Kim. Derek is a wonderful creator and a stand-up young chap.

3. Pants Press. There is not a member of Pants Press whose work I don’t aspire to.

4. Todd and Penguin by David Wright. Just. Plain. Cute.

5. E-Sheep by Patrick Farley. It’s a close toss up between Patrick Farley and Drew Weing as the person I would say is doing the most phenomenal webcomics today. Continue Reading →

Other People’s Stories is a site that features “other people’s stories.” Currently, the website is featuring a webcomic by Dan Zettwoch, based on a series of blog entries by Jason Shiga. Continue Reading →

Today, November 19, marks the second anniversary of that online piece of joy, Gluemeat. As it enters its third year, it’s actually rather incredible that it has made it this far, and most would even go as far as to say “Huh?” However, most secondary and unimportant countries (like Belgium or Iceland) are pleased with the news. So much so that they intend to ask their respective populations have three meals today to mark the celebrations.

Case Yorke has underscored the event with a brand-spanking new web design and has even had the gall to begin a re-issue of his dusty old 2000-2001 doodle Aren’t We Real, annotated with comments to help explain (read: defuse) his intentions.

Gluemeat is a tri-weekly comic updated Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while the re-issue of Aren’t We Real happens every Tuesday and Thursday. Continue Reading →

Penny Arcade announced its fifth year anniversary yesterday. As Gabe put it on their website:

Wow that’s right, it has been five years. Not bad for a couple of guys who don’t even know Frank Cho. Continue Reading →

The Ted Rall edited Attitude anthology of opinionated cartoonists is back with a second installment. Attitude 2: The New Subversive Social Commentary Cartoonists is apparently at the printers and will be relased in February 2004.

Included in Attitude 2 are webcomic-friendly cartoonists such as: Shannon Wheeler, Devid Rees, Stephen Notley, and Kevin Moore. Continue Reading →

The Wave interviews David Rees about his political webcomic, Get Your War On. Interesting facts to note: GYWO has been translated into French, Rees will now be creating comic strips for Rolling Stone magazine and The Wave put the wrong URL for GYWO in its story. (It’s actually http://www.mnftiu.cc) Continue Reading →

Combustible Orange by Eric Vinyard and Frank Gibson is entering its final month before its characters enter the online comic mainstream with their impending debut on MoviePoopShoot.com.

The new strip entitled Action Datsun will focus upon one half of the Combustible Orange duo, Jack Datsun, and will be made available exclusively on the Movie Poop Shoot website beginning in mid-December.

Action Datsun will run on a weekly basis and will be a more storyline based strip that will continue to follow the current “comic page” format that has defined Combustible Orange. The newly redesigned Combustible Orange website will also remain intact, with new comics to be released weekly until the creators get given a dumptruck of money to go write it for Marvel, DC or (sigh) Image. Combustible Orange is also looking forward to a print publication debut in the New Year. Continue Reading →
