An interactive flash animated comic strip featuring the misadventures of a walking stick insect. Catch the premiere today, my very first comic! Hate it or love it, I think you will all agree that it’s definitely something original.

Fun all-ages comics made entirely from a cell phone.

For three days in a row this week, the long running family comic series "Silly Daddy" will post webcomics created totally on a small screen Pocket PC Verizon 6700 Phone. These comics appear as is and have not been edited, optimized or tweaked in any desktop art programs. This is a mobile phone first for Xeric Award winning cartoonist Joe Chiappetta and most other comics on the net. Check it out at http://www.sillydaddy.net

I'm a bit new here. This place seems really great, lots of functionality, and a decent sense of support from the community. I was wondering if the community would turn an eye to my new site and give me some opinions and suggestions? Anything would help. I'm just looking to make a decent site in my own right. Thanks.

The November, 2007 issue of "Wired" magazine has a Manga cover, a nice article on Nippon/Japan dealing primarily with artists and copyright, and a TEN PAGE MANGA that has to be read correctly; which means backwards to us. :)

The article should be required reading for the MAFIAA*. Manga appears to be declining in Nippon just as it is rising in Europe and the U. S. There are a group of artists who are creating their own Manga based on Manga that belongs to others without EXPLICIT permission. From what I can tell much of this additional material is Slash fiction. (Google it if you don't know what that means.)

A very interesting read. If you don't feel like splurging whatever "Wired" magazine costs (I'm a subscriber) then just go to the library.

[XEREXES: Most of this is online -- the Wired manga issue: How Manga Conquered the US, Japan, Ink: Inside the Manga Industrial Complex, and a few shorter features here, here, and here.]

Last month Clickwheel, the iPod comic site, relaunched with a new front page and features. Among those new features were an iPhone emulator we’re calling the Push-Comic player that allows users to read Clickwheel comics right on their computer. Today we're launching the next step for our reader featuring more content and a user controlled upload feature. You can find it here.

Announcing the final release of version 1.5 of stripShow, my WordPress plugin for automation of webcomics.

If you create a webcomic, and you don't use WordPress, it's time to get with the 21st century. Blogging software and webcomics are a natural match. Wordpress provides automatic features like RSS, notification of search engines, and easy content management... stripShow takes those features further, adding:

It's time to post a comment with the phrase that pays gets you a copy of the DVD of "Karas the Revelation"...

I noticed that Comixpedia.org had gone down sometime on the weekend. Now there's a note up at the site:

Comixpedia.org is growing rapidly and has to move to a new server. Please check back soon.

No inside scoop from new owner Josh Roberts, but "growing rapidly" is good news. Not only does it make the place a better resource for fans of (web)comics but anyone who wants to put an entry for a comic on Wikipedia should be using Comixpedia.org as the place to start an entry and polish it up before trying to move a copy of it to Wikipedia. The better written and sourced an entry is the better chance it'll survive a deletion review at Wikipedia...

[UPDATE - And it's back - now on a dedicated server]
