Webtoonists: You Could Learn a Few Things From Thinking About Blogs
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on October 23, 2003 - 15:03
From time to time an article about blogging strikes me as if it could have been written about webcomics. This isn't that surprising as "webcomics is to comics" in many ways the same as "blogs to print journalism and writing".
Read these two articles (why blogging is conservative, and why blogging is radical) about how blogging relates to its offline analogues, substitute the word "webcomic" for "weblog" and see if most of the points don't still make a lot of sense.

If you're a fan of "top vote lists" than you may want to check out the revamped top comics list at Plan(e)t Cartoonist.
It's new top 10 looks like an interesting mix (although I'm not familiar with about half of them):
1 YIRMUMAH
2 girly
3 Bob and George
4 Phil Likes Tacos
5 Greystone Inn
6 ZacharyParker.com
7 MoonDog
8 Planet Earth (and other tourist traps)
9 Goeber the little green alien
10 The Wandering Ones
What Leah Fitzgerald is Reading
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on October 23, 2003 - 07:05
Leah Fitzgerald is Executive Editor for Interviews at Comixpedia. Currently she's reading:
1. Wapsi Square by Paul Taylor. The current storyline is coming together and it looks like it's going to be a treat.
2. Bruno by Christopher Baldwin. Don't we all have a Bruno moment now and then?
3. Dieselsweeties by R Stevens. Torpor is in trouble - Rich needs to hurry up and get to it.
4. Scary Go Round by John Allison. It's so cute to see Ryan in trouble - and in love. Da da dum.
5. Homestar Runner by Mike and Matt Chapman. Sure, it's not really a web comic but it cracks me up more consistently than anything else on the web.
