Webcomics is something that I have also been living with for
a while now. But the big things that make me enjoy the comics is as follows.
There free. It’s a free platform to let anyone read their work. And although it
hasn’t gone through an editor, that is a detail that doesn’t matter. They took
their thoughts and put it down on to the web to let others take it and
interpret it in their own way. You can truly say it is ‘your work’ when you
make web comics.
The style that someone draws the comic doesn’t have to be
good. Although there are some well made comics, you can produce any level of
finished to your comic. I read Ducks by Kate Beaton, which was done in an
incredible style. It was still in such a sketchy state. It took me a while to
understand everything that was going on in the panel at times. It was very
interesting, and I loved it.
Another perk to the web is the number of things you can do
with it. I watched a Ted talk that talked about how you can make a spiral
comic, a comic that uses sound, a comic that has animation, a comic that is
just one giant line. Because it is on the web. An example is ‘homestuck’ that
includes full flash cutscenes, and long dialogue boxes with a single picture. It
even has an ever-changing web page that matches what is going on in the comic.
It makes a very evolving experience.
