A few more blogs about comics beyond beloved Websnark worth mentioning to Comixpedia readers:

Digital Strips describes itself as “a blog of the web comics scene. Here you’ll find reviews, links, and comments of our favorite digital comic strips. Space for comics in newspapers is limited and dwindling, but the internet is a wide open canvas.” Recent good posts include this one about podcasting webcomics and this one about webcomics versus Garfield (Or at least there’s a picture of Tycho kicking Garfield’s butt).

You might also check out the just restarted Evil Network which used to be a directory but is now a blog.

Chris Morrison’s Polymer City Chronicles is about to join the Keenspot family. Acording to a news post on the PCC site the only thing left before the move is for the contracts to be signed.

Morrison made this comment on his messageboard:

Well, technically I could just sign the comic and not bother with the film/TV/book rights at all, but since I really want to push for TV/film, the contacts have to be combed over with specific intent so as not to miss any minutae. Continue Reading →
