Strip Grab Bag – Why Your Webcomic Idea Won't Work
October 28th, 2009 — Strip News
This Boing Boing post inspired me to consider the common response to new webcomic ideas.

Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life Review
October 25th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? “A philosophical road comic about two unemployed robots on an improvised interplanetary voyage of self discovery.” That was the tagline for Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life by someone pseudonamed Kit Roebuck; did that line sound as vague to you as it did to me upon first blush? As I read, I [...]

October 14th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) Good Ship Chronicles by Tauhid Bondia is a funny black and white comic with some grey tones. The art is made up of some very good linework and the backgrounds are well rendered. As a matter of fact, I kept wondering where [...]

No, this isn’t a review. I’ve been working hard on a non comics project and the deadline – she looms. Perhaps this afternoon or tonight I’ll be able to write a review. For now, I’ll just show you one of the comics in the review lineup and you can read it if you haven’t seen [...]

But comicdom goes a step further and historically wants to keep the fans from trying to race. Really, though, supers comics are getting stagnant with only a few [...]
Alien Echo
October 4th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? In Alien Echo by Stephen Buell, the main character Solomon Banes has undertaken a more or less heroically suicidal mission to save mankind. It stands to cost him everything except his life. It certainly costs him everyone and everything he has known. And every chapter ends with a well done cliffhanger. [...]
