Very Small Post

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 17, 2007 - 10:42

Dorothy Gambrell does wonderful, whimsical charts on her blog Very Small Array. This one tracks the popularity of her Cat and Girl book relative to world population. Canadians love their Cat and Girl!

This one - a year in review - tracks various things. Gambrell seems to do this one every year. I just really like the way Gambrell communicates visually - her sensibility is apparent in all her comics, but sometimes I think this other non-comic stuff is more representative of some "ur-Gambrell" quality she has.

Also add Gambrell to the "webcomics goin' to hell in a handbasket" list for this one.

Comixpedia's People Of Webcomics List For 2006

December 18, 2006 - 12:07

It's the third annual Comixpedia People Of Webcomics List. This was the hardest one yet to compile. There's a lot of webcomics and a lot of people doing interesting things in and around webcomics. This list, as in past years, is an odd effort to compare apples and oranges: artistic achievement, audience popularity, technical achievement, business savvy, news-making impact all go into the mix.

Ted Rall talks up and talks to webcomics with attitude for Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists. It's a great addition to the ongoing Attitude anthology series that pays some well-deserved attention to webcomics.

Fred Grisolm is the creator of two of the funniest, filthiest webcomics since Look What I Brought Home. Hate Song updates three times a week, and Filth Hole updates twice a week.

Monday News In Progress

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 15, 2006 - 07:25

Over the weekend, I compiled a list of interesting videos related to comics - you might be interested in checking some of them out. 

Gary Chaloner announces that his webcomic, John Law is going to daily updates. 

Dorothy Gambrell has a Cat and Girl book coming out.  You can order it here.  Dorothy also posts "four cartoons rejected by the New Yorker."  I don't get the New Yorker anymore (read it online but...) but Gambrell's sensibility is perfect for that magazine.

A new site with an interesting twist on wikidom: Wiki How-To.  Here's a link to a how-to on painting. 

From Ninth Art, Andrew Wheeler complains about Marvel's "conservatism" and Bulent Yusuf names the nine comics that shaped his love for comics. As long as we've brought up Marvel here's a funny blog post on "Marvel's 50 Best Characters." The list is arguably accurate but the accompanying snark-filled descriptions are priceless.

The Comics Interpreter is an infrequently published, but intelligent magazine about comics.  It now has a podcast - might be worth checking out.
