A number of Something Awful forum members, most of whom are also webcomic creators, made a Talkcast about webcomics last night.

Skulldog's fantastic webcomic Brink turns one today. If you haven't done so already, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Here is a synopsis, taken from the site:

BRINK is what I'd like the think of as a 'slice of life' story with a touch of non reality. There will be no super powers, elves, and no demons other than the ones created by the mind. The story focuses on a handful of people, their involvement with each other, and their struggles in life. Of course, said people aren't always in the best grips with the world around them. BRINK does have some heavy language, and violent themes, I wouldn't recommend it out to anyone under 13.

And I would also like to remind everyone that Brink is a member of Intravenous Comics, where you will find other excellent comics.

The second anniversary of Cartridge Comics will be on August 1st. And to celebrate they are holding a contest.

As long as you promise not to use cheesy (but delicious) tactics to pumpup YOUR votes, submit your site any time you feel a bit peckish.

The new webcomic collective Intravenous Comics launches today.
