Web-Based Comics
Lumpish Scholar writes "The Chicago Tribune (no registration required:-) has this long awaited article on Web-based cartoons and cartoonists. (A couple of Web-based cartoonists put together the recent Berkely Breathed interview, as reported here.) The Trib article mentions some of my favorite online cartoons: Kevin and Kell, College Roomies From Hell, and Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet (now in dead tree syndication and online here). Other sources: Keenspot, hosting service for forty online strips; Planet Cartoonist's list of the top 100 online comic strips; a similar list from Big Panda; Yahoo!'s same-day-as-the-papers strips; King Features; Comics.com, home of Dilbert (a.k.a. Dilbert.com), Peanuts (Snoopy.com), and other United Media comic strips, and cartoons from the New Yorker; Plan 9 Publishing, bringing online comics to dead trees near you; oh, yeah, and let's not forget that other online strip." I just wish Gary Larson would come back. -
"Peanuts" Creator Retires, Strip to End 50 Year Run
markhb writes "Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz will retire to concentrate on his recovery from colon cancer. According to the announcement, the final new daily will run January 3rd, 2000; the final new Sunday page will run February 13. Following those dates, the strip will go into reruns from 1974. After 50 years of the strip, I think he's earned his rest. Godspeed, Sparky." -
