I'm Shaenon. I draw Narbonic and write a bunch of other webcomics.
What I'm reading right now:
The Right Number by Scott McCloud;
American Elf by James Kochalka;
The Magic Whistle by Sam Henderson;
Lucas and Odessa by Spike; and
Digger by Ursula Vernon.
Boy Meets Boy by K.Sandra, reviewed by Shaenon Garrity
If the popularity of Boy Meets Boy teaches us anything, it's that webcomics need more hot, shirtless young men making out with each other.
The Pram In The Hall
Cyril Connolly was a British literary critic who lived-
"Kip!"
Ah. Excuse me. Yes?
"What do you think?"
Of what?
"Of these rough layouts."
Well, I'm not exactly sure that's Molly, isn't it?
"That's Griffen."
Oh.
"It's the bit with the guitar. On the corner. Remember? So. What do you think?"
It looks good.
"You're just saying that."
No, really. I like the, uh. The thing, there. I can't wait to see it finished. Now, I need to get back to
Art and Narrative: The Monitor Has Two Faces
Carl Jung called it the Shadow, though it's most commonly referred to as the Alter-Ego these days – a way of understanding how the different, and occasionally disparate parts of our personality relate to one another.

Great Webcomic Minds Chat a Lot -- A Session on Webcomic Awards
