I don’t like talking about the same strip in a two-week period but Chugworth’s got me thinking again.
Today’s strip appears to be dig on the popular practice of making a special entry to mark a certain number strips. You’ve probably seen what I’m talking about. They vary from introducing new characters or storylines to big splash pages that just say, “thanks for reading!” Others bring in guests to help celebrate while others prefer to go for a little misdirection.
Weekly reminder of our HUGE contest. The annual Digital Strips ‘We Love Webcomics’ contest is running strong but we’re predicting at least twice the participation this year. Don’t forget this year’s prizes can be won in two ways. The first prize will go to our favorite comic and Nominations will be based on art and writing, but most importantly creativity. The second prize is in memory of last year’s contest and is a random drawing from all the entries. EVERYONE has an equal chance to win!
Time to clear out our little mailbox. I can still remember the days when we would go out looking for the news. Now we’re just lucky to make it through what gets submitted. Sometimes I wonder if we should just take the Comixpedia way but then I remember what some of our fans told us when we were first looking for extra writers. There’s Comixpedia for everyone, and then there’s sites like us where people go for opinions even if they disagree. Well here’s to trying to keep up with our little community.
For those of you who have taken it off your bookmarks list, Sinfest is back.
The super popular, often linked to webcomic with a name so that sounds so dirty you almost want to remove it from your browser history has returned after an unannounced sabbatical, today. Sinfest stopped updating back in mid January.
A while back a reader asked what happened. I did some poking around the site, but found no explanation. Even today all creator Tatsuya Ishida gave us was a confusing statement that there was something he had to do and that who ever it was for didn’t mean anything to him. It was actually pretty funny and well written.
So if you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the return of Slick and the gang, today appears your lucky day. If you’ve never read Sinfest, head on over anyway and check it out.
In the mean time, I’ll try to scrounge some more stuff up.
