A Rusty Life
August 30th, 2008 — News, What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff A Rusty Life by Johnathon Bigelow I originally wrote a review of A Rusty Life quite a while ago but most of it seems to have been erased and I was forced to rewrite the review. I didn’t remember that ARL started out in March [...]
Strip News
August 29th, 2008 — News, Strip News
This week is absolutely unbelievable with the amount of news items I want to feature. I cut them down to those things I could simply point you to or are time sensitive. The rest I have filed away to post on later dates as separate posts. First, Casey and Scotty is no longer on hiatus [...]
Alligator Cartoon Caricature
August 27th, 2008 — News
A friend of mine who works with people with developmental problems and other deficiencies asked me to draw an alligator. Make it cartoony, like a caricature. Or find one online. It needs to be 8×10 inches so we can use it on a bulletin board. Oh, and I need it done in the next hour. [...]

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (this is a repost of an older review, updated slightly.) This is a comic by Dwight L Macpherson, art by Thomas Boatright and lettered by Thomas Mauer (and hosted by Drunk Duck.) There are a number of things I enjoyed about this comic. First, the [...]
Just when you thought he was abewt to recovah
August 23rd, 2008 — News
I started to read a comic on my list to review and it was a pretty good read. Not too heavy, funny, fairly well done – and it had an ongoing storyline to string you along. It also had elements I found morally debatable and after I had read all 167 comics, I decided that [...]

First of all, I’ve been looking for two more reviewers for Comic Fencing. Most would like to participate but don’t have the time to add a weekly review into their schedule. Those that visit this site have some interest in reviews, so if you think you’d like to give it a whirl send me an [...]
You'll Have That
August 20th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a slightly edited repost of a review. You can see the original version here.) “You’ll Have That” is created by Wes Molebash As always, my first impressions waylay me. All the ads I’ve seen for this comic are in color, so that’s what [...]

It’s been a busy week. The Comic Fencing reviews of Tastes Like Chicken should be up by now. Check them out and let us know what you think too. What comic site would be complete without some kind of Superman reference? Via ComicMix, a couple of comic writers were talking about how they would reboot [...]
From The Margin
August 13th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This review was originally posted long ago and has been edited slightly.) This time, I’ll be reviewing From The Margin, by Name Unknown. My first impression is that I really enjoy the witty dialogue and the wonderful contrast in the images. It took me a little [...]
What Do Reviewers Know?
August 11th, 2008 — News
In the process of writing a review, I came upon a link which took me to the PVP comic site. Beneath that, Mr. Kurtz was (by chance) talking about a review of their new how-to-make-comics book. It seems the book’s reviewer was disappointed in the advice on dealing with critics. It basically seems to boil [...]
Fish Tank Webcomic Review
August 10th, 2008 — News, What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff This week’s review is on the Fish Tank by Carl Ray. The art of the Fish Tank is done in a fun, sketchy style. Those fish are pretty expressive and the action is always clear. It’s usually just black and white, although there are panels [...]
