 Digital Strips : Show 82 [8.82 MB] |
This will be the first in a series of podcasts to take advantage of summer vacation. Here we have one of my favorite drawn strips in a long time. Join us as we explore this vampire version of Romeo and Juliet. Actually everyone is already dead so we can’t be romantic, we’ll just have to settle for vengence.
In this episode we talk about:

Yaaaaay.
This time with Brian Clevinger of 8-bit Theater. He’s a funny guy, that one.
I have a confession, after studying Chinese culture for 5 years, I still don't know what kung fu action grip is. I just know that I want it.
If such a legendary grip does exist in the world of web comics, I think we may have found it. Justin Gibbs has come up with a new way for web comics' creators to pimp their wares and fans to find new strips to get their fix off of, KungFuGrip.com. The site uses the tried and true Digg.com method of letting people vote (or Grip, as it's called at KungFuGrip) entries that they like. The more Grips an entry gets the better spot it gets on the site. Continue reading
Whoever said you can only survive 30 seconds in space was not taking into consideration human ingenuity. Augment your respiratory system and you can bump that up till someone rescues you outside the realm of probability. That's how this new web comic enters the world. Crimson Dark, by David C. Simon, is the first web comic to take advantage of the new advertising campaign and I couldn't have been happier. It's a science fiction graphic novel form strip which centers on the female character Commander Kari, a hero who has retired herself away from the front lines to patrol runs is just beginning to find out heroes are not so easily shelved.
Yep, I made up a word. Wanna fight about it? Since Daku beat me to the punch on the weekly round-up of news (courtesy of our new news board which you, yes YOU, can post to!), I figured I would write about the webcomics that piqued my interest for one reason or another this week. It’s bad, it’s good, it’s my weekly Interest Piquers!
– First off, for whatever reason, I’ve fallen behind on my reading of deadmouse’s Ballad over on Modern Tales (pay comics are ridiculous, by the way, but that’s a topic for another day). I was turned onto it by Digital Strips, natch, and I immediately fell in love with the amazing feel and forboding atmosphere that deadmouse is able to create. Through a link to Modern Tales I once again came upon this forgotten gem of my pull-list and quickly positioned it right back on top, where it belongs. You should do the same.
PC Weenies – PC Weenies Hit 900 at the beginning of this week. The PC Weenies, the venerable technology toon written by Krishna M. Sadasivam, hits its 900th toon on Monday, August 7th. With bona fide adult content (a first!). You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll wish you were at Walmart. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Blade Kitten – Blade Kitten is finally killing some trees. After a couple of years of nothing but net Steve Stamatiadis finally decided to release the first collection of Blade Kitten as a print edition. It’s like having a website that you can carry around in your hands and can be read using any available light source.
We’ve mentioned this on the podcast and I know you have all been waiting. Before you continue I bet you’re wondering what makes this comic so different? Well with Zampon out of the picture we searched far and wide for the best artists to pick up our cute little outlet and we turned no further then then our very own bloggers. The DS Comic will be created by not just one artist but three: The Geek, PookeyG, and the Midnight Cartooner.
Evolution is a big topic these days. Some people are really upset at evolution. I used to be upset about it too. I figured if there were no evolution we would all still be hanging out naked in the jungle. Then I realized that evolution also gave us waterslides, so it sort of evens out.
This Little Gamers strip from a few days ago got me thinking about evolution in web comics. It is a key thing that critics look for in a strip. We like to see the strip grown from what it was into what it is and to continue to become what it should be.
