Much to the surprise of its author, Jesus and Mo has reached its 200th web strip:

Jesus and Mo » Archive » toxic

(Warning: do not visit if you are offended by disrespectful and/or ill-drawn representations of holy men) 

That's almost 2 years of fatwa-free irreligious cartooning - and the boys still haven't changed their facial expressions! 

What better way to celebrate than to flash a bit of arse-crack? 

 

AWARDS

• The Glyph Awards are accepting nominations for the 2008 edition.

INTERVIEWS

• The most recent Culture Pulp covers Mike Russel's interview with Jerry Seinfeld for his new Bee Movie.
• Wizard interviews Pontus Madsen of Little Gamers.
• The Comics Reporter interviews Marjane_Satrapi, creator of Persepolis.

REVIEWS

• The Webcomics Overlook does a quick round-up of webcomics parodying the very existence of webcomics! Or maybe, let's just say three webcomics making bad jokes on purpose plus Dave McGuire's very funny Webcomics Are Awesome (which I really wish he'd update again).
• The Comics Reporter reviews Downbeat.

JUSTIFY MY HYPE

• Awkward Zombie points out that one size really shouldn't fit all in World of Warcraft.
• I would totally read/watch Scooby Doo if it was done by Joe Dunn.

I've got a jug full of Haterade for Cafe Press. Time to pour some cups!

Actually, I'll preface this with the following: I don't hate the Cafe Press storefront. I hate what people use it for.

I hate it all, almost universally.

There are a lot of webcomics that have a grand archive of three strips in the can, who have already launched their own forum and a Café Press store front. The forum thing bothers me on a whole 'nother level, but the Cafe Press merch? More often than not it's insulting.

I really like the idea of comicsby.us (which in my head I always pronounce as 'comics-bee U.S.')- whenever I go on digg or reddit I am always disappointed by just how rubbish the things on the front page are, and so for someone of my minimal attention span the idea of applying this concept only to comics sounds good.

There are four webcomics left in BSC's Webcomic Idol contest - voting goes on all week.

• Grumps
• Lucid TV
• Simulated Comic Product
• Templar, Arizona
