As usual, I’ve an urgent need to put my ignorance on display. There was a discussion thread on TWCL that asked what they biggest challenges are for those comic artists who are looking to go pro or semi pro. One major point is the audience pool. Some believe that the online comic audience is limited [...]

Enker's Tale

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a reformatted repost of an older review.) To get some understanding of what was going on, I checked out the background of the comic thus far… “Sigma has been defeated, and in the aftermath Zero has gone into stasis until such time as [...]

Ordinary Things

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos This review is on Ordinary Things by Ozge Samanci. It has the tag line “an online journal of my observations in the comics form.” This is not your standard comic, nor is it even a diary comic. Even the about page is not run of the [...]

Every week I wonder if I’ll only have two or three things worth taking note of. Every week I am surprised. Ping Teo of Webcomic Finds looks at time and webcomics. Making webcomics is a very unsure endeavor and it is very easy to just quit. I am inspired by her choice of attitude about [...]

What Galactus Is Not.

If you read comic books growing up and saw the second Fantastic Four movie, you are likely aware of this. Please bear with me as I “educate “those who aren’t… At the end of August 2008, the Comics Reporter had a post telling us that Jack Kirby would’ve been 91. In that post, there was [...]

The Boids

What Did I Learn? weekly webomic reviews by Delos (this is a slightly edited repost) This review is on The Boids by Campbell and Merrill. The comic is nicely described on the About page: “The Boids is the story of Flock Unit 2A-6, known to his pals as ‘Boid.’ “Boid is a member of a [...]

This week I have a number of disjointed thoughts about a variety of things I saw… I mention this first because any artist who is looking to have their own book printed needs to read it. I apologize for those who’ve seen this already Tony Piro has a really great review of POD (Print on [...]

The Sixth Dimension

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a repost.) The Sixth Dimension by Sarah Mendiola. What is the Sixth Dimension about? Well, the blurb is actually a little revealing, so I won’t spoil it here. Suffice it to say that the Socahtoans (the antropomorphic lizards shown in the comic thus [...]

Cow and Buffalo

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost.) This review is on Cow and Buffalo by Mike Maihack. First thing’s first. It goes without saying that the artwork is pretty catchy. The linework is light but has just enough weight in the right spots. The broad sweeps of color play [...]

Here we go with some things I found provoking: I asked and it was provided! Casey & Scotty animated. At long last. That’s great stuff for just taking an hour to put it together. Courtesy of Comixtalk, we also know Marvelous Patric has a new comic titled Picture Imperfect. It’s got a web-ma self rating [...]

Max and the Gorilla Goon Squad

What Did I Learn? webcomic reviews by Delos Woodruff (This is a repost.) Max and the Gorilla Goon Squad by Kevin Richter. What is Max and the Gorilla Goon Squad about? The blurb reads this way: “The story of three gorillas, Frank, Sal and Earl, on the run from the police for the murder of [...]

Instead of a review…

Sometimes I have thoughts to share but this time I have questions. How is a webcomic going to be successful? How will it provide a living to the artist and their family? Bengo of The Floating Lightbulb had the idea to seize upon the business model provided in the Half Pixel book “How To Make [...]
