Eagle Awards 2004
Hell if I’d ever heard of the Eagles before. But Scott Kurtz got nominated for an Eagle for Favorite Web-based Comic. It’s based on popularity so it’s pretty safe to assume that PVP will trash the other two comics–which I’ll admit I hadn’t heard of prior to this. Actually I’m not shocked I haven’t heard much about the other two – Marc Hempell’s Naked Brain is part of Sunday Funnies so at least Google knows where to find it but search for “Mike Snart” or “Mike Snart comic” and you basically get stories about it being nominated for an Eagle. Anyone got an actual URL to an actual webcomic called Mike Snart?
Other categories of interest here are Favourite Comics E-Zine with nominations for Newsarama, The Pulse and Sequential Tart and Favourite Comics-Related Website with nominations for Comic Book Resources, Comicon.com and Silver Bullet. Continue Reading

The entire guide reminds me a bit of those parody airport safety cards. But I gueses it’s entirely serious. Continue Reading

Getting On Board the Relationship
Webcomics, like most other narrative forms, rely upon interaction and conflict to drive their plots. Fight with your roommate, go out with friends, have dinner with your significant other, argue with a waiter, meet a new boyfriend’s buddies, have lunch with your ex’s new ex, or stave off an alien invasion and save the planet. These everyday occurrences provide a launching point to tell a story, develop a character, or make a point.
When we talk about relationships everyone’s first thought is usually the boyfriend or girlfriend type of attachment. But that’s far too limiting. There are an infinite number of relationship types out there and romantic ones are merely a subset. Family ties, friendships, professional or co-workers relationships, and housemate situations are some of the more common (and most often presented), but every day we interact with all sorts of people in all sorts of ways.
