Again, although "Exercises in Style" appears on the Internet, I do not consider it a "web comic" because it very much falls under the category of appearing there only to generate interest in the eventual book collection (which, incidentally, is due out this fall from Penguin Books).
I only make the distinction about Exercises in Style NOT being a web comic, strictly speaking, because I have always intended for it to appear in book form, so for example a lot of the art is too detailed or fine to be legible at low resolution.
