Bullshit Artistic Credibility Dollars

The child in me is a huge fan of cartoons and comics and the internet has been a great resource of free comics. I've always wondered about the web comic business model and how successful it has been for the artists. Jeph of Questionable Content answers some of these questions in his blog.

The Sad Children

Crack daddy N has directed me to yet another web comic: Picture For Sad Children. The artist is definitely a Gen-Y'er. Not the kind of comic I'd follow but there were some notable entries:

• what else can be done with this degree


• stay in school, children, what else are you gonna do


• he is not really trying


• in my version of dilbert there is a lot more crying

Comics

So my crack daddies a.k.a friends are always directing me to look at something. Research papers, white papers, anime, manga, silly comics, the works. I've been introduced to yet another web comic, We The Robots. In typical OCD mode (I'm a mild OCD), I've checked out the rest of the archives.

My favourites in no particular order:

• Drei und Zwanzig


• Four pronged performance review


• You've Been Misinformed.


• Penises are inappropriate


• Not Unexpected


• Damned if you do, Damned if you don't


• The Art of Delegation
