As stated with the placeholder comic, this website is pretty much ready to begin receiving comics updates. Thank you to everyone who has already subscribed via RSS. I may post regular, non-comic blogs from time to time from now until July 2nd, just so there’s actually SOMETHING going on here.
So, keep an eye on your RSS reader of choice.
Tomorrow is May 5th! What’s that mean? Cinco de Mayo, right? Well, yeah… but it also happens to contain three comics related events all on the same day:
2. Cartoonist’s Day
Support one or all three! For me comics are comics no matter where they’re displayed. But some people get all technical about it, “Webcomics are bad because they’re not newspaper comics (or vice versa),” or, “Comic books are a whole separate animal then comic strips, therefore if I’m into comic strips I cannot read comic books (again, or vice versa),” or worst of all, “I see no value in comics of any form because they’re for kids (no comment.)” My personal advocacy for comics being online has more to do with progress than preference. Ultimately, I treat comic books and comic strips on equal terms: if I like the individual content then I like it. But I’m not gonna wash out the whole medium or segregated portions thereof from my list of things I like just because I didn’t care for last week’s Penny Arcade or Zits or Action Comics (I’m not dissing PA, Zits or Supes, they’re just examples.)
Which is why this Saturday is going to be an exciting day.
