Metapost: RIP Gary Gygax

Submitted by El Santo on March 5, 2008 - 04:04

I’ve never been an AD&D gamer, but I read a lot of Dragonlance novels when I was younger, and I sure played a lot of Baldur’s Gate video games.
The webcomics react:
The Order of the Stick sees Gary Gygax wandering the planes of the afterlife.

The 8th Annual WCCAs: An Interview with WCCA Chairman Frank "Damonk" Cormier

January 21, 2008 - 10:56 | Xaviar Xerexes

With the Eighth Annual edition of the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards (WCCAs) coming up I wanted to get an interview on the state of the awards with current WCCA Chairman Frank "Damonk" Cormier. Frank worked with me on ComixTalk in the first two years of its existence and I know from experience that he is quite passionate about comics and isn't one to shy from stating his opinion. So I put a range of questions to him regarding this year's awards, changes from last year and how to improve things in years to come.

ComixTalk's People Of Webcomics List For 2007

December 20, 2007 - 13:31

And now... the fourth annual People Of Webcomics list! I'll be the first to admit that this list gets harder and harder to compile as the lines between "webcomics" and just plain "comics" blurs harder than a greasy windshield in the middle of a West Texas downpour. Plus as publishing comics on the web and other digital formats becomes more commonplace it gets harder and harder to find those "firsts" that take comics in new directions whether artistic, technical or businesss-oriented.
