Shaenon Pimps Webcomics


Apparently there's a thing today where webcartoonists are supposed to recommend other webcomics. It goes without saying that you should be reading the comics on Modern Tales, which I edit, and I think it's pretty widely known that I'm a fan of Phil and Kaja Foglio's Girl Genius. So what else?

  1. Knowledge Is Power. I liked Irony Chan's previous webcomic, "Get Medieval," and I was happy to pick up her other current webcomic, "Dumnestor's Heroes," for Modern Tales. But this one has been growing on me too. It's about college students who, thanks to a spacetime accident, acquire superpowers based on their majors. What does the English major get? The power to alter reality, bitches.
  2. Dicebox. Still the best comic ever about itinerant female miners in outer space. Who are married. The latest chapter ended recently, so now's a good time to catch up.
  3. The Chronicles of William Bazillion. Andrew's evil-minded comic about a boy adventurer. The current storyline is entitled "The Race for Santa's Nazi Gold," which is probably all you need to know.

Comixology, Anne Cleveland, and Vincent


My lastest column at Comixology is up. It's all about my recent trip to my alma mater, Vassar College, where I tracked down info on alumnus and cartoonist Anne Cleveland. I stayed at the Alumnae House, which gave me the chance to look through old Vassar yearbooks. They didn't have every year, so there were some alumni I couldn't find, like Meryl Streep, or Anita Hemmings, the girl who got kicked out in 1897 for passing as white. But I did find...


Webcomic Wire - 8/29/08


Drawn from sources all over the web… Wired covers PAX. Wowioes, not your father’s breakfast cereal. Here’s what T Campbell is saying and Comics Worth Reading as well.  Platinum and Wowio as yet have not responded to my inquiry. Eric Burns posts about criticism on websnark. The Webcomic Overlook has part three of their ‘Joy of Webcomics’ series. Newly [...]

Webcomic Beacon #39 - Restarting Your Webcomic


Episode 39 - Restarting Your WebcomicTara of Galaxion joins Fes, Aaron, and Tanya as we go over reasons and “how-to”s of restarting your webcomic. We also get Jason Wilson of Smuggling Vacation on to discuss some “controversy” that came from his print comic.  And David Willis of Shortpacked introduces our show this week.

3001, and three comics I’ve never pointed you at before…


As long as we’re talking about threes of things, here are three comics whose links I’ve not shared before, but which I believe you’ll enjoy:

Chainsawsuit: Kris Straub hits the essence of cartooning with this new offering. Minimalistic? Yes. Funny? Oh, my.

TheaterHopper: Tom Brazelton takes on movies, and the people who watch them.

Spelling it out


I’m not a native English speaker. Most of Vol. 1 has been written in German and translated into English as a second step. Since texting is about the last thing I do when I produce a comic (right before lettering, obviously), some pages were translated as late as the day before they went online at [...]
