A last reminder about WCA2003…

May 5th and our third annual WCA is less than two weeks away.

We currently have more than 60 web cartoonists signed on to do a special contribution strip for that day, as well as about a dozen others who are tenatively considering a WCA2003 strip (circumstances permitting).

Howard Tayler has mentioned that “The Pulse” is supposed to cover the event. Mark Mekkes has mentioned that he’s going to plug the event during a local radio interview in Florida next week.

The current list of participants spans a full range of online comics. We have several members from Keenspot, Keenspace, Modern Tales, The Nice, and a lot of independents who aren’t affiliated with any particular group (or groups). There are a few dozen return participants from previous years (many 3-time participants) as well as a lot of newcomers (our most newcomers ever).

For those of you who’ve said you’d like to participate, but haven’t yet sent me the URL for your WCA2003 page, please do so as soon as possible. Continue Reading →

We obviously need a topic icon for “Genre: Intoxicated Wildlife Webcomics” if we’re going to even come close to properly categorizing the webcomic creation of the highly erratic Roger Sims. Following a “lost weekend” lasting almost a year, Just Another Vice has returned to the computer screen and managed to complete almost an entire month of daily strips.

JAV – it’s like the “Old School” of webcomics! Continue Reading →
