Experimental Webcomics The Easy Way by Miguel Estrugo


Department: Features

What better way to explore the limits of the webcomic form then with a webcomic? Miguel Estruego takes us through an exploration of experimental webcomics.

'Resop' is 'Poser' backwards! And his comic was 'Kid Radd'. And it was fun. And original. But he doesn't make it anymore. Shame. This is a pic of Dicebox, on Girlamatic. Go and subscibe to read it NOW! And I mean NOW! This is a sample of Soft Targets. Amazingly, it's still online! Yeah. Like you don't know who are Tycho and Gabe. Suuuure. Yeah. Like you don't know who are Tycho and Gabe. Suuuure. Any resemblance between this lil' webcomic and McCloud's books is coincidential. I swear! If I was Joey, I'd declare war to printed comics. But Joey is a peaceful man. Drats! 'Scott Kurtz the 1st' is one of the few who took webcomics seriously. All we've got to do is waiting until -HE- is taken seriously. Uuuuh? What makes you think this is just a mere copy of Megatokyo? I mean, I drew all of it! Besides, Megatokyo's chars don't have the hair dyed like this. See? See? I'm original!

Miguel Estrugo is the creator of the webcomic Alice Otter

Well done. Were I doing this column, I would have just put "make your panels huge and horizontal so the reader has to scroll right for an hour, and get ready to cash in at serializer."

This was a nice look at the early webcomics, Miguel.

I dont want to shit all over your effort, because I know your heart was in the right place. But really, aside from McCloud, everyone you cited produces comics about as "experimental" as your average Garfield strip. Maybe you should change your topic to "The origins of cut and paste on the web"

I'm sorry, that was a bit cold.

I'm glad you gave Dan Miller a panel; tech, art and story-wise, he's one of the best and most ingenious cartoonists around.

Nice work with the "text-links".
