Cross-overs, cameos and guest art.
Do All Webcomics Exist on Earth 2?
A fun thread on crossovers is developing on the Graphic Smash forum – kicking off with reactions to a recent T Campbell editorial. Continue Reading
Alternative Pages: Fan Art with A Difference
Bailey of END TIMES took Al Schroeder, the creator of MINDMISTRESS, up on his request for other webcomic artists to redraw one of his pages. You can see the results here. (please note there is a link both on the page, and if you click on the picture it will take you to END TIMES also.)
It’s fan art with a difference, and a quite delightful way to see other artist’s takes on some of the original characters. On his Alternative Pages Al Schroeder invites any other interested and talented artists to similarly take one of the MINDMISTRESS pages and redraw it in his or her own style. Continue Reading

The Swaps Keep Coming!
R Stevens lays it all out on his website:
April Fool’s comic swaps of one type or another are possibly the oldest tradition among web comics! Jeff Rowland of Wigu called me up to swap strips a couple hours before publication… and how the hell am I supposed to reject him! He’s been in this game since before there was even a DS.
Other notable swaps today: PVP and Penny-Arcade. Continue Reading
Classic Webcomic Cross-overs
It doesn’t seem to happen like it used to but back in the day all the hep kids were dropping science in each others’ backyard:
1999
Sluggy Freelance and User Friendly: AJ drops in on Riff; and Torg gets a job with Columbia Internet.
User Friendly and Superosity: Dust Puppy visits Superosity-land.
Bobbins and Waiting For Bob: The Bobbins crew met up with Waiting for Bob’s Bernie and Sean.
Bobbins and Goats: Jon from Goats meets Holly from Bobbins. Small sparks gain a little altitude. Later Jon and Philip actually make it to England.
2000
When I Grow Up and Waiting For Bob: Zoe investigates Sean.
Bobbins and Superosity: Holly and Shelley visit Boardy and Bobby goes to England. Somewhere along the way Professor Ash shows up.
2001
When I Grow Up and Diesel Sweeties: Roger finds true robot love! (not entirely sure where in the DS archives its half is)
I’m sure there’s lots more I’m forgetting – feel free to post more classic crossovers below. Thanks! Continue Reading
It’s Dr Vivisectus versus Dr. Madblood!
Who doesn’t love a good cross-over between webcomics? Well I do and I suspect more than a few more do. Maybe it comes from a youth spent reading comic books where there was always a chance Batman would team up with Superman or Spiderman might try to get a date with the Black Canary (alright I’m pretty sure the latter never happened). I haven’t had a chance to create a new topic icon for this category yet, but we’ll be happy to post news regarding cross-over events.
And that reminds me – fans of mad science ought to check out the ongoing visit of Dr. Madblood to Man-Man-land that starts here. Continue Reading
