Strip News
January 30th, 2009 — Strip News
Being full of opinionated and biased outlook, I do hereby officiously and loudly proclaim: Panel Patter reviews Cowboy Wally, David Gallaher is interviewed and Erica Friedman sounds off about objectivity in reviews. Let’s not forget Sean Taylor’s interview or Luke Surl’s review. There’s more from Mark Waid on the Incredibles comic and some sample pages [...]
Wally & Osbourne
January 28th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a slightly edited repost) Today, let’s look at Wally and Osborne by Tyler Martin. Yes, I know it hasn’t updated since early 2007 but work with me here. This comic has a number of interesting things about it. First of all, you’ll notice the [...]
Last Minute Change of Plans But It's Okay
January 25th, 2009 — News
So I was working on a couple of other websites (one of my other jobs) and I needed a tricky solution to a coding problem. I’ve managed to approach the problem in several ways but none of them have worked consistently. Hence the need to resort to trickery and skullduggery to get the job done. [...]
Strip News 1-23-09
January 23rd, 2009 — Strip News
I am growing ever more impressed by the sheer magnitude of projects and things going on that we can enjoy and take advantage of… The Webcomic Overlook reviews Thingpart, Kris Straub offers us a peek into changes in Starslip Crisis and the Powerpuff Girls turns ten. MPD57 looks over the December Zuda competition and Ramon [...]
Jump Leads
January 21st, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) This review is on Jump Leads by Ben Paddon and JjAR. Let’s talk about the art first. As you can see from the sample image (which is a cover instead of the actual comic,) the linework is interesting and the colors have [...]
Strip News 1-19-9
January 19th, 2009 — Strip News
This is a bonus Strip News, filled with all of the goings-on and derring-do of the comic world. At least, it’s the things I found noteworthy… Xeric hands out awards while Comics 212 has an article about a couple of creators, book cover design and the publishing industry. MPD57 brings us a snapshot of each [...]
Vendable
January 18th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Vendable by David Menzies and Robert Pinero is a different sort of comic. My first impression is that the comic borders on tragedy but could upswing into jubilant triumph. Or not. Here’s the website quote that self describes Vendable: “In the way that Rocky is a movie about boxing, Vendable is [...]
Strip News 1-16-9
January 16th, 2009 — Strip News
Well, well, well. There’s more to see but I’m afraid that, due to wordpress technical issues, the remainder may require another post on Monday. The Daily Crosshatch reviews Fuzz and Pluck in Splitsvillee, Trouble Ticket reviews Union of Heroes, a photo comic and Marooned hits the newspaper. KODT is back online. To the right is [...]
Toyzville
January 14th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) This review covers Toyzville by Larry Merrill. Toyzville is a recently retired (early 2007) comic that I have enjoyed for quite a while. I normally avoid reviewing comics that are no longer updated but life is full of exceptions. Toyzville is cute [...]
Calvin, Hobbes and Mickey
January 11th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
This is going to be a little different than my usual What Did I Learn approach. A few weeks ago, someone posted a Calvin & Hobbes Sunday comic on their site and I saved it; eventually it wound up in my pics folder. I had noticed some techniques in it and wanted to study it [...]
Strip News 1-9-9
January 9th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
No time for fancy words today because there are a million things to see. On to the news: The Kurgan in Highlander is one of the better villains in movieland. I wonder how this comic based on him will fare? We already know how this comic turned out, but You’ll Have That has posted it’s [...]
Lab Bratz
January 7th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a slightly updated repost) What is the first thing that strikes you about Lab Bratz by Ed Dunphy and Max Velati? First it’s the expressions of the characters and then you appreciate the dialogue. Next you find yourself reading each comic and looking a [...]
