Tribute to Webcomics on Newgrounds
Submitted by achim on May 27, 2004 - 00:33
There's a flash movie called "Tribute to webcomics" on Newgrounds. You can watch it here. Its creator is Van Douchebag, author of a young online comic Whyte Hydra.
You may agree or disagree with his choice of presented comics, but Van Douchebag is trying to present webcomics to a whole new world of potential readers. And, in case of Newsgrounds, it's not insignificant number of potential readers. That's why I think it's important to go there and vote for this flash movie, to help put webcomics plug on front page of Newsgrounds.

Yeah, I usually refer to the site as "Lots of really terrible flash cartoons by people with a kindergartener's handle on grammar" myself.

Which is stupid. Flash artists have as much trouble standing out off the crowd of half-assed movies about stick figures killing each other as webcomic artists have standing out of the crowd of half-assed comics about stick figures killing each other.
We're all on the same boat. I'll be happy to see a flash artist wanting to promote his works between webcomic readers.

Well, I wouldn't want webcomics to become TOO popular, if you know what I mean.
I'd hate to see the average quality of the art and writing in the printed comics industry lower itself to the level of the average webcomic.

Well, unlike most webcomic creators, at least they have the software skills to make something in a program like Flash . . . you should hear what they say about this subculture.
