As noted yesterday by Xerexes Warren Ellis has started plugging webcomics on his Die puny human blog (as of writing this he has just plugged Diesel sweeties and Jeff Rowlands Overcompensating).
Last friday he ask people to send him urls for their comics in a post (which can be read in our forum) to the Bad signal email list.
Today he has made more posts to Bad Signal regarding the webcomics medium (a small part of the first one is preproduced here):

I really like the idea of a new
movement of comics creators who
know absolutely nothing of print
comics and who could care less. I
want comics that go off in their
own unique direction, uncontaminated
by tradition. In print comics, the
generation behind mine is entirely
too polite, and entirely too male.

The entire posts (there's been three so far today) can be found in the Bad Signal archives (subscription necessary, but is free and easy to unsubscribe).

Another work of antisocial agitprop from Packard Jennings. Link from BOiNG boiNG.

T Campbell and Gisele Lagace's Penny and Aggie is leaving Modern Tales to make bid at the newspaper syndicates. Websnark has the scoop.

Recently, warren ellis plugged the webcomic, The Dr. Pepper Show. Ellis, of course, is the noted author of the AUTHORITY, PLANETARY, and many other comics.

Thanks to the Amazin' Al Schroeder for the catch!

I missed Political Demon during our Politics issue but it's still worth mentioning. Not extremely funny or satirical, but slickly drawn and showing both promise and a fairly regular update schedule.

This one could be worth keeping tabs on.

In case you can't get enough webcomic reviews from Comixpedia you might want to check out two "review clubs" -- one at the Comicon.com forums and the other at buzzComix's forums.

It would be an interesting thing to host here at Comixpedia as well but the need may already be filled with two active groups in other places. Still if anyone is interested in starting something like this I'd be up for providing a home for it on the forums.

Time.comix gives a good review to Suspended in Language, written by Jim Ottaviani and illustrated by Leland Purvis. The book offers a biography of the life and work of Danish theoretical physicist Niels Bohr, famous for his pioneering work on atomic power.

This is the kind of book I'd like to see reviewed in GNR. Not sure if that's necessary given Time.comix's coverage but it's not an art book or a superhero book. It just looks interesting.

I wonder if it's a coincidence or not (have to ask Joey Manley I guess). Shortly after deadmouse.net ran an ad on Comixpedia, Manley noticed the site and wrote a nice blurb about it.

Today I see that Scott McCloud picked up on Manley's blurb and said "Quite an archive of strange, beautifully rendered comics has been growing at DeadMouse.net."

Comixpedia advertising in action? :)

P.S.I'm reading Ballad on deadmouse.net right now - beautifully rendered work.

Without much fanfare, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention, the Eagle awards have been handed out earlier this month. The award was established in 1976 which would make it the longest running comic award. The original round of nominations got attention from both us, but also more in depth by Websnark.
That Scott Kurtz (PvP), would take home the "Favourite web-based comic" was not much of a suprise considering that the award is determined by a popular vote.

SBC has the entire list of winners.

Once again with the stuff boingboing got to first: the Ramayana in graphic novel form! (And a matching lesson plan, to boot.)
