Strip Fight: Each week, competitors draw a strip to fit a set of criteria and visitors vote on the best strip of the week.
Presumably, it's based on the always-entertaining Songfight. In Songfight, though, the site chooses the title of the competing songs. Strip Fight seems to be trying a more flexible route by setting "criteria," but they may be fixing something that isn't broken. Scott McCloud's Morning Improvs and Sam Brown's Exploding Dog both feature artists reacting to a reader-submitted title with great results.
But, since they've only just posted their first fight, we'll shelve the criticism and see how it develops. It looks promising so far.
I thought it might be nice to list the comics that do april fools stuff.
Only one I've seen this far is http://www.checkerboardnightmare.com/
According to a note on his site, Jeff Rowland had been thinking about quitting his comic, WIGU, at the end of the previous storyline. He even went so far as to destroy the Earth, rob his extra-dimensional characters of their memories and draw a surprisingly poignant closing panel... but, in the end, he just couldn't give up the strip. Lucky for us.
I think I read too many webcomics. When he obliterated the world, I never even considered for a second that it would be, you know, permanently damaged.
Well gang, I'm back from I-Con 23. Here is my account of what it was like to be a convention guest.
For those of you who have not been guests at a convention before I can say that I highly reccomend the experience. It was absolutely fantastic. I had a grand time and everyone was really great.
Also, J.D. Illiad Frazer is definitely one of the coolest people you're ever likely to meet. The guy just rocks.
