Panels & Pictures: Ordering Strips


How can we order comics besides the traditional plot (where cause and effect lead to a conclusion)? Derik Badman looks a few examples from comic strips (web and print).

Hawaii Kawaii


What’s cuter than a talking plush puppy? Two talking plush puppies, of course! In this month's edition of Brigid's Bento Box, Brigid Alverson takes a look at Audra Furuichi's and Scott Yoshinaga's nemu nemu.

Multiplex Store now open for business!


Multiplex has finally joined the vast number of webcomics selling T-shirts. A half-dozen or so Multiplex and non-Multiplex T-shirts are now available from the Multiplex T-shirt Shop (powered by Spreadshirt).

All shirts are either flex or flock printed from vector files, so the quality is vastly superior to CafePress shirts. The ink will not fade! Check 'em out, add to your wardrobe, and support your favorite movie theater comic strip while you're at it!

Shades - download to your mobile!


Go get Shades on your mobile!Want your own version of BVC's online graphic novel Shades to read while on the move? Well, thanks to those nice people at ROK Comics, now you can!

To make it more mobile-friendly BVC has pared the text down to a minimum to leave just the core story elements and all the action.

Visit the ROK Comics website and you'll find the first few episodes of Shades in the Adventure Comics section.

But, if you want to try it for free first (and who doesn't?!), visit the Freefall Comics area and you can test the system by downloading a free trailer for the mobile phone version of Shades. Now, that's cool!
