Posted by michael on from the don't-give-up-your-day-job dept.

  1. What online comics really need... by Jack+William+Bell · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is cool, but what online comics really need is hosting that doesn't whack them into oblivion with bandwith charges when they get popular. Preferably hosting that doesn't also put restrictions on them or make them charge for access to the archives.

    My favorite online comics are User Friendly, Megatokyo and Circle Weave. At least two of these have a huge audience and equally huge bandwidth usage. For all I know the third one will also now that I gave its URL here on /. Oh well...

    Wow. Since when has colour or lack thereof been an issue that even remotely relates to quality? And you can have amazing art and have total crap for stories. And in my not so humble opinion, a good story is far more important than perfect anatomy.

    Angst Technology is currently one of my favourites. I find that Barry always tells an amusing story, and his characters are well drawn, if perhaps a little funny looking (Who else would have the courage to have a llama as a character?!?)
