The Monday Morning Xerexes Update

Submitted by scarfman on July 11, 2005 - 12:02

scarfman tipped us to the Daily Grind Ironman losing another competitor - Scott Kurtz announced he was dropping out as he began running guest strips from Chris Giarusso while Kurtz is at the San Diego Comicon. Kurtz is also on 3 panels this year - one for Image and two for webcomics (more details after the jump).

gordonmcalpin also caught that there is a new Stripped Books webcomic in the new edition of the online magazine Bookslut. The new strip, by guest illustrator Dan Henrick and Stripped Books creator Gordon McAlpin, adapts Sandman writer Neil Gaiman's keynote address from the 2005 Nebula Awards dinner, in which Gaiman muses about the state of science fiction today.

The Yirmumah boys are having a fundraiser week - if you're a fan of Coffman and McDeavitt's biting sense of humor (see today's installment!) then drop these guys a buck or two.

Gary Chaloner kicks off a new site hosting his ongoing series: Will Eisner's John Law. Chaloner is holding a July draw for a signed (by Will Eisner and myself) limited release hardcover of Will Eisner’s JOHN LAW: Dead Man Walking (from IDW). WEJL updates on Mondays at Modern Tales and the new stand-alone site.

with major apologies to the Nails

Shaenon K. Garrity was quite Narbonic
she couldn't stick to just one project.
Meaghan Quinn was a different type,
no John Troutman webcomic could she reject.

Meredith Gran was a superhero girl
and I was afraid of a girl like that.

Feeding Snarky by Eric Burns

There is a kind of dichotomy inherent in any civil rights movement. On the one hand, it's generally felt that the minority should be given every opportunity to succeed in competition with the majority. On the other hand, it only seems fair that the minority should be given compensatory advantage to level the playing field with the majority.

Why Women in Webcomics Should Not Be An Issue by Ping Teo

April 10, 2005 - 23:00 | Ping Teo

Well, it's that time "The Women Issue" for Comixpedia.

I suppose I should be all excited about this. I mean, hey... I'm female, I make comics. I'm fairly vocal and campaign for a more realistic portrayal of women in comics and all that, and sometimes I'm tempted to do a comic where the females run around rescuing the hapless (but mighty fine-looking) men all the time just to show how odd it looks from a reversed perspective.

Oh wait... I almost do one like that already.... ;)

An all new Arcana Jayne short story begins at GirlAMatic.com today, January 11th. Called "Tango", this installment focuses on Jayne's buddy Padraigh, his birthday, personal epiphanies and new beginnings. All that, and it uses the visual of dance as a subtextual metaphor! Whoo! Par-tay!

Arcana Jayne is written and colored by Lisa R. Jonté, with stunning artwork provided by the equally stunning, Lea Hernandez. Updated every Friday, and the current episode is always free!

Comixpedia's List of 25 People Of Webcomics for 2004

December 13, 2004 - 01:28

When we discussed the Year in Review issue it seemed like it would be a natural to write a list of people in webcomics for the year. But what to call it? Most of the time when media magazines talk about people in film, television, music or what-have-you, they can call their articles "The Power List..." or the "The It List..." because, well, those media have power and star power. Webcomics have those things, but alas, still in smaller quantities.

2004: A Year in Review

December 13, 2004 - 00:00 | Wednesday White and Kelly J. Cooper

As 2004 packs its bags and prepares to turn over the keys to the new year, we thought we would take this opportunity to look back at certain significant or just really amusing webcomics-related news stories throughout the year.

If we missed your favorite event, feel free to add your own thoughts.

From Malaysia to Jupiter with Lynn Lau

December 6, 2004 - 00:00

Webcomics is, of course, a global phenomena. 2004 saw webcomics proliferate, not just in America and Europe, but all over the world. Webcomics can be American, Brazilian, Japanese, British, or...Malaysian, like Lynn Lau, the creator of Jupiter, a webcomic set in a literal circus, not just a metaphorical one.

Recently Marilyn Scott-Waters got a chance to talk to Lau about her current webcomic, her past work and her future plans.
