Perhaps the most charming freak in comics since Benjamin J. Grimm has been a certain involuntarily transformed, zebra-striped demonness who does tech support on the side, and who can set fire to people that infuriate her with her mind. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Zebra Girl has grown from cult favorite over the years, making a changeover from Keenspace to Keenspot this year, and delighting more and more readers with each black-and-white-and-read-all-over update. We interviewed Zebra Girl's creator, Joe England, and got a quick glimpse into his hand-coded, Zebra-striped universe.

Eight is the creator of several webcomics, the most recognized probably being Road Waffles. Road Waffles is a brilliant mess of sex and violence and random plot devices. Other webtoonists agree:

“You’ll never find more conveniently placed objects, characters, or plot devices anywhere other than Road Waffles!” Greg Dean (Real Life)

“Kind of like Natural Born Killers meets Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure… Or not.” Aaron Holm (Joe Average)

“If Quentin Tarantino made a daily webcomic, this is what it would look like.” Josh Phillips (Avalon)

Comixpedia caught up with him to hear what HE thinks of the whole webcomics thing. Continue Reading →

He took some time out of his busy schedule to chat with Comixpedia. Continue Reading →
