Well, folks, it looks like it’s time to power down The Webcomic Overlook for a while. As some of you already know, in a short while, El Santo is getting hitched! So you’ll probably be calling me “Mr. El Santo” in the near future, I suppose. Also, the updates will probably slow to a trickle. It’s already been rather difficult to update this site lately, what with all the picking up relatives from the airport and wrapping up wedding favors and scheduling spa appointments and coordinating with the bridal party and such.

Fellow webcomic blogger Ben Gordon recently wrote a post about the different forms of humor at the Floating Lightbulb. This led to a link that itemized humor in pat little categories. I come from the point of view that humor cannot be delineated, mainly because it’s evolving year after year.

Avast, mateys! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day at The Webcomic Overlook! Should ye leave a comment on the boards today, ye must take care not to speak like a landlubber, or ye be walking the plank! (Now now, don’t be crying there. When was the last time anyone walked the plank and actually, you know, got sent straight to Davy Jones’ locker? It always be some last minute swashbuckling or some save by the hero. It be more for theatrics, says I.)

I don’t know how I managed to miss this, but a couple of days ago PW Beat mentioned that Marvel was going to produce their own original webcomics (here too). These include two rather lightweight-sounding titles with obvious ties to this year’s blockbusters: “Iron Man: Fast Friends” and “Incredible Hulk: The Fury Files” (with the Sam Jackson Nick Fury).

What is it with science fiction’s obsession about getting lost?

Entrepreneur magazine recently ran an article about the business of webcomics:
