One point I forgot to bring up, but should be apparent: It's pretty obvious that none of the journalist writing about Second Life, and executives demanding online land be purchased, never actually downloaded and played the game.

Also, no post about Second Life would be complete without the brilliant Wonderella comic on the topic: http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/wonderella.php?view=archive&chapter=14739&mpe=0

You might want to check out some web comics. Digger is great. If Alan Dean Foster and Terry Pratchett were to write a comic, Digger would be the result. If you want you can get Vol 1 in paper form.

maybe cheap year-long (unlimited) subscriptions to networks of sites?

Seems to be working for them. :)

(I'm subscribed to the first and the third at the moment.)

Counting "Fans" really isn't quite fair, as it's reached the end of its long and excellent run. Similarly, I wouldn't count "Calvin and Hobbes" to the credit of the UComics syndicate, because while excellent, it's reruns.

Or are you a Chicago Democrat? =)

If we can dream for a moment that David Willis won't turn Shortpacked! into another infinite loop of "I can't have sex w/ you because I love you" like his other comics, then Blank Label might actually have a decent comic. 1 out of 10 ain't that bad...

Modern Tales has American Born Chinese, Ice, Narbonic, No Stereotypes, Odd Jobs, Paradigm Shift and Wahoo Moris. 7 out of 63.
Graphic Smash has Aces High, Ascent, Digger, Fans, Gun Street Girl, Johnny Saturn, Life's a Croc, Little White Knight, Magellan, Rip & Teri, The Jaded, The Replacements and Vigil. 13 out of 31.
Girlamatic has Jupiter, L'il Mell, Sevenplains and The Stiff. 4 out of 23.

YMMV.
