Better You Than Me
September 28th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
This is almost a review of Better You Than Me by Lee Cherolis. I only have a few things to say about this comic, so don’t blink. It is basically a sporadically updated diary comic and it includes bits from other comics the artist is working on. The style goes from the image on the [...]
Strip News
September 26th, 2008 — Strip News
Some fun stuff and some things to ponder this week… Newsarama brings us news about the new Farscape books. It was a pretty good sci fi show and it had a lot of story potential. If you’ve ever wondered what “Adult Swim’s version of Care Bears” would look like, this would be it. The artist [...]
Neko and Neko
September 24th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a repost.) Neko and Neko with artwork by Hector Bustamante. Neko and Neko is a cute, off the wall comic. Everything contributes to the zany, fun feel. The artwork has lots of thick to thin solid lines, vibrant colors and spiky shadows. There’s [...]
Chasing the Sunset
September 21st, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
Today’s review is on Chasing The Sunset by Mithander and Alien. First of all, Chasing the Sunset has reached 500 strips. That’s a pretty sizable amount of work to accomplish and congratulations are in order. (Also, it’s a great name for a comic and great url. Good, evocative names are hard to come by.) Now [...]

I’m still cleaning out the list of pages I wanted to share with you. Some are from quite a long time ago but new to me. Others have required some (gasp) thought on my part before I could post them. This one is from a long, long time ago but it’s relevant for those who [...]
The Business of Comics
September 17th, 2008 — Strip News
There’s an article on Comic Book Resources by Brian Hibbs which talks about how to move the comics in your comic shop. Order what you think will sell, sort out what sells and what doesn’t and have a mark-down bin. But wait. If you’re reading ArtPatient, you are likely a fan of webcomics (and create [...]
Lions, Tigers and Bears
September 17th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a repost.) Lions, Tigers and Bears with artwork by Jack Lawrence. I’m sure this one needs NO introduction. Virtually anyone reading this review has heard of Lions, Tigers and Bears. I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the vibrant colors, just like everyone else in the [...]

Lots of quick bites in today’s Strip News… If you’re looking for a one-stop page that lists webcomic blogs, visit the Webcomic Blog List. At the top, it makes the point that many people start blogs but then abandon them. There’s nothing more annoying than bookmarking a site that never updates. The Webcomic Blog List [...]
Spacequint
September 10th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (this is a repost.) Spacequint by Jess Hickman. Spacequint is, most likely, an unfinished side project with its most recent update in January 2007 Feb 2008 (as of this writing.) However, I really like some specific things about it and I’m hoping that more is [...]
Caribbean Blue
September 7th, 2008 — What-Did-I-Learn?
This week I am reviewing Caribbean Blue by Ron Rodriguez. Caribbean Blue is done in a manga style with those big eyes and exaggerated effects like fountains of tears. It’s also jam packed with cats. If that’s your kind of thing, then read on. The characters are an interesting bunch. Tina is the tiger striped [...]
Strip News
September 5th, 2008 — Strip News
This Strip News has theory, review links and more. (Plus a few things I lacked room to mention last week.) By the power of Comixtalk, we are shown Neil Cohn’s review of Systeme de la Bande Desinée. It’s supposed to be an academic book about comic theory. Translated from French, the title reads The System [...]
