There's a theory that webcomics are able to experiment far more than printed comics. The relative ease and cheapness of independent publishing on the web makes it is feasible to produce controversial or unmarketable works, such as a comic full of obscure references to literature and film.

The art in printed strips follows rigid traditions of black ink on white paper. Some comic books are more adventurous, admittedly, but the greatest variety of artistic techniques is undoubtedly found on the web, where there are all sorts of computer art techniques as well as traditional artistic media such as pencil, ink washes, paint, bamboo brushes, colored pencils, and even hand crafted rubber stamps.

The webcomics culture is thriving. The fact that thousands of people are making comics and sharing them on the web is a wonderful thing. I believe webcomics are an exciting new artform! What do you think?

Sorry, I'm a little distracted, what with dying and all.

blood will have blood

Oh yeah, I almost forgot!
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.
Hold still while I take your picture.

My weekend strip is on Saturday instead of Sunday this week because May 5 is Cartoonists Day... a lot of webcomics are celebrating with a Web Comics Awareness day, and you can go see all the others at the Web Comics Awareness links page!
If you're here from the Web Comics Awareness links page, welcome. You've arrived in my William Shakespeare's Memento series. Ko Fight Club has a variety of comics. I got started in comics March 6 2000, making clip-art strips for The Bench, then came the Bench/Watchmen crossover, and soon I was making all russ-art comics. Thanks to friends and fans who've provided feedback and encouragement.
William Shakespeare's Memento started April 23 or April 25... it's kind of hard to say, I don't know.
