  Websnark - Comixpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Websnark is widely read in webcomic circles, although its endurance is yet to be determined.
According to The Urban Dictionary, snark is a contraction of "snide remark" (although in the Websnark sense, a snark is not necessarily snide).
The mascot of the Snarkoleptics and of Websnark is Snarky, a sleeping green dinosaur drawn by Ursula Vernon.

 Eric Burns - Comixpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
He is best known as the creator and one of the principal writers of the popular culture and webcomic commentary website Websnark and as the writer of the webcomic Gossamer Commons and The Adventures of Brigadier General John Stark.
While not as popular as Burns's later work with Websnark, the journal did ultimately attract about three thousand regular daily readers, particularly during a poignant run as Burns chronicled his battle with congestive heart failure induced by idiopathic cardiomyopathy, as well as a car accident in 2000.
Websnark is also an outlet for commentary on philosophy and popular culture, though webcomics remains what the site is known for.

 Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
Eric Burns actually wrote me an email assuring me that Websnark wasn't ending, that Websnark was who he "came to the dance with", that he loved Websnark and that he was committed to continuing with it.
Problem statement: Websnark is not my job, but I feel like I'm being locked into a position of accountability and responsibility for generating the content people want at the rate people want, instead of doing what comes to mind when it comes to mind and -- most of all -- actually enjoying it.
Websnark has never been defined as "a Webcomics blog." Not by me. I talk a lot about webcomics because I like webcomics, and I'm interested in them, and because I think they matter.

 Websnark - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Websnark refers to a webcomic that has been reviewed on a website.
While some use the term websnarked in a general sense, meaning their webcomic was reviewed, others use the term to refer to Websnark.com mentioning their site (with or without commentary), thereby increasing traffic to the site.
Whether websnark will endure as a term remains to be seen.

 Modern Humor Authority | Critical Review for the Post-Internet Age » Blog Archive » The Hunting of the ...
Websnark, a webcomics-only review blog from the first-and-a-half generation of internet reporting, has swept the ordinarily basement-shut-in world of webcartoonists with its tumbling prose, its breathtaking K2-like vistas, and its elegies second only to the more-familiar dactylic hexameter.
I liken the scenario to Willy thinking he was going to be in “just another boy-saves-whale picture.” And we all know how that ended up.
When I first started Websnark, it was actually so I could separate out webcomics and other web-centric commentary from more “serious” writing.

 Casual Notice — Now with Life Affirming marshmallow shapes.
Go take a look at the Comments section of the Websnark blog if you don't believe me. Anyone who has a (free) account can pipe in with their opinion of what Burns has to say, and while Burns will correct misapprehensions or factual inaccuracies, no one is ever decried by him.
I read Websnark and occasionally stroll through his comments, but never comment there myself.
He treats the Websnark blog as if it were printed in a newspaper.

Eric Burns over at the web blog thingy Websnark and quite a few words to say about Issue 8 and City of Heroes.
Jack Emmert, a.k.a the Statesman, is still very much in charge of the game, as he is in charge of all of Cryptic Stuidos.
Trying to make it sound like everything wrong with the game was Statesman's fault and everything good has been because of Positron's saving grace is just ridiculous.

 The Millions (A Blog About Books): More NaNoWriMo
Websnark presents four reasons why NaNoWriMo is an instructive exercise.
The first three touch on the idea that if you want to be a writer, you have to stop being lazy and/or afraid and you have to write every day.
Websnark's last reason for liking NaNoWriMo is that "There are worse reasons to form a community than creativity," and that is about the best defense of NaNoWriMo that I can come up with as well.

I wanted to leave a comment on Websnark but it only takes comments from Typekey account holders.
Presumably, either Typekey or Websnark have not managed to make the system work with Opera 7.52, which I use.
And switching from that to any other browser is the one hoop I'm not prepared to jump through just to post a comment.

 Penny Arcade! - The Inevitable Outcome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
A much less reasonable response came from Websnark.
If you don't draw a webcomic you probably have no idea who that is. Imagine a guy who writes a blog where he consistently overanalyzes webcomics.
If you asked me what I thought of websnark I'd tell you that "he reflects the creative energy of real artists".

 p i x e l s c r i b b l e s :: journal: Is Websnark over?
It seems the majority of Eric Burns' recent posts have been of the "I don't have anything for you today" meme (often with the added information of "I'm sick" or "I'm tired").
Maybe he will calm down after a few weeks--his comic did just launch, after all--and things will go back to "normal".
But maybe he's chosen (in his heart, where it counts for an artist) to move on...in which case, I will be sorry to see Websnark go.

In case you don’t get it: the “Webcomics Boning” idea started when Gary at Fleen read the Websnark post, Submitted without protection, which was in response to this Checkerboard Nightmare strip.
Gary coined webcomics boning, and the response was good enough that they decided to make it its own column.
Of course, the websnark post was from Wednesday White.

 Starslip Crisis - Daily Sci-Fi Humor Comics by Kristofer Straub - News for Tuesday, March 07, 2006
It looks like today's strip has captured the imaginations of Websnark and Fleen.
Every time I think I hit one out of the park, the response is moderate -- then I turn around and do something I'm kind of ashamed of, and everyone else digs it.
I think Websnark is responding not just to the one strip but to the themes STARSLIP CRISIS is building up, sort of like when the Academy gives an Oscar for a reasonably good performance that follows an excellent one (like this year's "Best Supporting Actor").

 TalkAboutComics Blog » Websnark on Modern Tales fall lineup
Shaenon mentioned this briefly below, but I’ll give it its own post: Websnark blogger Eric Burns breaks down the new faces in the Modern Tales fall schedule, doing mini reviews of each new comic.
Among many other things, he writes: “One thing I think is really, really healthy both for Modern Tales and for we the fans of webcomics is an increase of style and diversity in the new lineup.”
Without going in to extreme micro-niche genres, I can’t think of any type of comic Modern Tales doesn’t have.

It's odd to think that more contemporary Americans probably now have the picture you paint of the General's personality/relationship with his wife, etc., than even knew he existed a week or two ago.

 Nukees, The Atomic Comic Strip
That's why I really liked WebSnark when it first debutted as a daily blog offering an honest daily review about specific strips, the wrongs and the rights.
I mean, I know it's the Internet, but one of the great points of WebSnark is that Eric wrote well and was articulate.
To top it all off, I feel the site's been cheapened recently by both the launching and plugging of Eric's own webcomic, thus removing him from the realm of objectivity, and the recent overpowering begging relating to his new Paypal donation button.

Former Moden Tales editor Eric Burns appears to have returned to his regularly scheduled Websnark blogging.
