 goats: the comic strip | by jonathan rosenberg | new comics every monday through thursday
If webcomics journalism/criticism (when you're talking about art, you can't really separate the two, unless all you're announcing is anniversaries and con dates) has taught us anything, it's that the best way to get attention is to stand up and stab Caesar in front of the other senators.
The first is Jeff "Zamphir" Lowrey, who has been reading webcomics for almost a decade now and is probably the single most prolific webcomics forum poster that I am aware of.
The second is Gary Tyrrell, a volunteer with the CBLDF and one of the most insightful webcomics readers I have had the pleasure of meeting.

 The Artistic History of Webcomics
These are common problems with animation in webcomics; in general, I think there's much more promise in the way Flash elements are used by cartoonists like John Barber, weaving animation into the structure of the page so that it becomes an integral to the reading experience rather than a distraction from it.
Webcomics should have blasted open the possibility for alternative comics to reach an audience, while exploiting new possibilities that didn't exist in print.
It was one of the first webcomics to grow its own dedicated and friendly community, a large group of disparate human beings with a web site and a hell of a lot of enthusiasm.

And if you’re a webcomics creator that had a child this year and I missed you, please be assured that it wasn’t intentional, and that your baby is the smartest, cutest, best baby ever.
For a couple years there, she did a webcomic that never finished, has done some primo spot art, contributed to both Flight anthologies, and has made her way into the more-than-indy-not-quite-major print comics world via Oni Press.
The Dumbrella comics have banded together to do their own distribution now; in practice this means that R has more fun packing and shipping and Jeff Rowland gets some good material, but would definitely prefer more time to get everything done.

Yes many people are happy doing their webcomic for fun and having it heavily based on other work, good for them.
Besides, as far as the "next big thing" in webcomics goes, if I had to place a bet on who's actually going to do it, my money is on the guys screwing around and having a good time rather than of the art-tistes wearing fl turtlenecks and thinking Deep Thoughts.
Webcomics about gamers and students aren't bad, Doonesbury started out as a college-based comic, as did a lot of other strips.

When Queen of Wands ended, there was a lot of speculation that Kestrel would join Something Positive, and by way of reply R.K. Milholland hit her with a car.
I’d checked it out before and given it the “eh.” It’s smart, it seemed funny sometimes, but at the time I looked at it there was a lot of soap opera going on, to which I didn’t know the backstory, and as always it was just so damned bitter.
This was 2004, the year I spent obsessively watching the Democrats spend a year losing to the worst president in generations, while continuing to take it in the shorts in terms of congressional seats and governorships.

 Between the Looking Glass: April 2005
Given that it's the narrative that drives this webcomic, the art is good enough to push the story forward at a nice pace without needing to worry too much about looking like the Sistine Chapel.
Anyone with a passing familiarity with Jon Rosenberg's webcomic Goats should by now know that the strip's adorably naive and innocent character Fish has been utterly transformed.
Goats is a webcomic based solely on the surrealist and absurdist humour caused by its brainless protagonists Jon and Philip, featuring everything from a rabid sex dwarf to Jesus Brand Penis Butter Cups - proof, by the way, of the stupidity of pushing a webcomic artist and not expecting them to push back.

The angriest voices seem to come either from righteous folk who are not actually webcomics creators, or webcomics creators who are not actually paying for their own bandwidth or profiting from their own ad sales (that is, they get free hosting on Keenspot, which pushes its ads on people to pay for it).
Anyway… The funny part is that one of the best known, most popular webcomic artists on the net, Jeff Rowland (creator of Magical Adventures In Space, the latest in a series of spiffy and whimsical comics), has been participating.
Anyway, at least as far as I’ve read in the discussion, Rowland started out mildly skeptical of Comictastic but not that worried about it, and as the discussion went on he got more and more tired of the righteously indignant protestors and finally declared himself “pro-Comictastic” and happy with the programmers’ efforts.

With a wealth of material produced by independent and creative minds, using little more than their own talents and the tools on their computer, webcomics offer a readily available alternative to the regular rank and file of the mainstream comic book industry.
In a time where many feel the comic book industry is playing it safe with their hopes pinned on decades old characters and concepts, webcomics offer fresh and original content from creators who just love working in the medium and communicating their ideas and stories to an audience without the hassles of editorial interference.
And while comic book prices are moving steadily higher with each passing year, webcomics are free and ready to be read at the push of a button or click of a mouse.

 Overcompensating
In Jeff's own words, Overcompensating is "Jeffrey Rowland's diary comic, 100% true stories from a mansion in a swamp." This is truly a crazy but very enjoyable webcomic, featuring Jeff's "true adventures" with accompanying commentary on life.
It really is a pleasure to read and is the second of two webcomics that Jeff maintains, the other being Wigu.
I'm amazed at Jeff's ability to maintain such a high level of quality and hilarity with two separate titles.

 buzzComix! - your ultimate online comic resource
Because Wigu is the only webcomic where you can read the line out loud, and someone who knows the comic is able to tell which character said it.
In a world of webcomics dominated by cheap knockoff videogame based crap, it's refreshing to see a comic that's unafraid to step up and use a real plot.
Jeff Rowland uses the same insane amount of humor that he had in "When I Grow Up", but now with a sci-fi twist (Or at least moreso hahaha).

For every decent webcomic I find, I have to go through at least 20 that are drawn by Furry-Freaks, or kids that think it's cool to draw a 4-nippled sucubus as a main character.
Also in webcomic news, if Jeff Rowland has actually killed Topato, I will be having angry words with him.

Jeff Rowland has a new comic, and I dare say it's some of his funniest work to date.

Subscription sites like Modern Tales were a part of the solution, but I felt strongly that there had to be a way to make single purchases as well—and in many cases, those purchases would need to be cheap; somewhere between a dime and 50 cents each.
The biggest challenges for webcomics in the next 5 years may have more to do with storytelling and business models than formal experimentation, but the time for experimentation is hardly over.

Jeff Rowland’s Wigu is in the finest tradition of Averian work.
"Jeff Rowland's Wigu operates in the tradition of Tex Avery." That's not a fact -- we don't know that Rowland got up one morning and said "dude -- I'm going to do a pastiche on Tex Avery." For one thing, I don't think Rowland uses either the words "pastiche" or "dude" on a regular basis.

When I first found this webcomic, I clicked on the "first" button which usually brings you to the very beginning of the site's existance, but on this site, it only brings you back to the beginning of the story that is currently playing.
While I would normally reccomend going back and reading everything there is that an artist has put up for a comic, you might not like the early early stuff for this one.
