    We’ve discussed on past episodes of the show that there isn’t a whole lot of independent American style super-hero comics on the web. Comedy gag strips, fantasy stories and manga are all prevalent, but on the web the super-hero is a rare breed. Even when super-heroes do appear it’s usually in parody.

    A new comic has been added to Pixel Strips and it seeks to tackle the super-hero genre online in some interesting ways. PixelStrips.com, a web-based comic community created by Kevin Volo, Continue reading →

Not stopped. Ended. Every comic there ends: no cliffhangers, no incomplete works abandoned halfway through, no ongoing serials without an end in sight.

    Here’s yet another Digital Strips comic. Huzzah! This strip poses a question I’ve often wondered myself, just how in the hell did that show get pitched? I mean, really, think about it. You have a room full of TV execs listening to this idea and then look around at each other and decide it’s a good idea? Would this fly today? Bernie Fein was the guy that created the sitcom and he must have been one silver tongued guy to pull that off. Oh well. Enjoy.
