Webcomics have been receiving a surprising amount of mainstream media attention this year. The Washington Post column, which was reprinted in several other papers, and the G4techtv feature on the WCCA both painted webcomics in a fairly favorable light.

It immediately gave rise to some furious discussion, most of which focused on whether the article was well-researched or not.
