The Slap in the Face Known As Artists' Alley by Damonk

I am of the opinion that all webtoonist wannabes could greatly improve their skills if only they took ONE stroll up and down the aisles of the San Diego Comic-Con's Artists' Alley.
Why Do Online Comics by Iain Hamp
|
This summer there have been a lot of movies coming out in the theater that I am looking forward to seeing.
In about six months.
Where I live, movie tickets are now $8.50, or $6.50 with a student discount or at a matinee showing. So depending on circumstances, my wife and I pay between $13-$17 to go see a movie. For that price, we will also get the pleasure of seeing 10-20 minutes of commercials before our actual film begins.

Turning Japanese by T Campbell
|
Japanese culture has so thoroughly melted into American culture that we can't always tell where one ends and the other begins. Speed Racer, Godzilla, Voltron, and Tranzor Z are nostalgic for millions of Americans, almost a part of "Americana." Weightlifters train by eating sushi. The Matrix seamlessly blends Japanese martial arts and Eastern philosophy into Western cyberpunk and American car chases. Japan makes our cars, our computer parts.
Nowhere does the Japanese voice speak more clearly than in the true avant-garde, the avant-garde of comics, the Web, and especially of webcomics.
Piromania -- Leah Fitzgerald interviews MegaTokyo's Fred Gallagher

MegaTokyo blew up almost immediately when it appeared on the webcomics scene three years ago. Fred Gallagher, the creator behind the strip, goes by Piro, a nickname he took only temporarily. A former architect, he now lives on the spoils of the site's merchandise.
The Return of Graphamaximo!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on June 12, 2003 - 13:48
This week's storyline at PVP is apparently a riff on the recent business issues faced in a very public way by Fantagraphics. The character of Skull returns to the Graphamaximo storyline that Scott Kurtz introduced last year that created a bit of publicity and controversy.
