While going through our email I noticed a lack news being sent to us. Then I slapped myself in the face and remembered everyone has been faithfully submitting news through the site. Boy do I feel like an idiot. Perhaps you will forgive as I empty out the queue on the tail of traffic coming from the Times?

Elf `n Troll – There are now five books from the unexhaustible AP Furtado. Each book is 24 pages long while the fifth book takes you on the wonderful story of what happens when you have an angry Troll, a missing Elf, a mysterious warrior, a pack of crazed Goblins, and a malevolent witch?

Yep, it’s another post from me today. I bet your wondering just how I managed to do that when I’ve been so consistently absent. Well I’m not going to tell you the story of breaking free from the chains of oppression and answered those questions three that were asked of me. So sit back as I pour through a long list of tasks and fill up your RSS feeder with my random babblings.

Elf `n Troll – I don’t know how Tony keeps it up but he’s completed his fourth serial for this delightful fantasy strip. Continue reading →

Why do I keep getting all this email about web comics? Oh that’s right, we have a blog covering the world of webcomics. You’d think after the amazing traffic over the past couple weeks you would think I would get it through my head. On to the news!

Rainbow Orchid – What’s this? There’s another site dedicated to covering comics. It may need to narrow it’s field a little to the next wave of the future but it’s nice it was introduced to me in reference to a web comic. The artist behind Rainbow Orchid, Garen Ewing, was interviewed and posted for your reading pleasure.

I’ve always wondered the reasoning behind putting a web comic in print. The most successful web comics all have their content for free, so why put all your content in an inarguably less accessible form? Of course you could always carry a book around to more places you have internet access but I’m lazy. That makes me think it’s for a more sentimental or possibly even charitible but then I’ll assume most of you are just as selfish as myself. I just like to show everyone just how well read I am.

Now that the contest is closed we’re ready to get back to the business that is web comic news.

Komikwerks – Every time these guys get quiet I only sit back in anticipation as I know there’s only good news on the horizon. A couple weeks ago was no exception. Two webcomics have joined it’s roster in THE FRONT by Jerzy Drozd and PPV by Drozd and writer Tom Root. You may remember our review of The Front which make rank as our favorite superhero comic.

Greetings webcomic fanatics! I have returned from my journeys abroad refreshed and ready to continue the Digital Strips mission, bringing quality comic content to the forefront of the web browsing populace.

To kick things off for 2006 I’ve been pouring through the pile of email that gathered while I was away. Here are most of the things that struck me as potentially interesting to our readers. I haven’t finished reading through all of Comixpedia, Websnark, I’m Just Saying, and the rest of my webcomic news trawl, so if I’m late in reporting any of this … tough!

You had to know one of these was coming. There’s been a slight flood of news over the past week and perhaps I can lessen the tide.

Small Press Expo – SPX has come and gone and there was more then a few web comics making their presence know. At this Con outside of DC they have the Ignatz Awards which recognize outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning. A panel of five cartoonists develop the ballot, which is then voted on by SPX attendees. One of the categories is Outstanding Online Comic which was won by The Perry Bible Fellowship (Nicholas Gurewitch) this year.
