WebComics
One of my favorite past time, is to surf for online web-comics. So today I shall dedicate a post to this passion of mine.
Web comics are also known as online comics and are readily available on the internet. Usually they are published exclusively online. They are similar to self-published print comics in the sense that almost anyone can create their own webcomic and publish it on the Web. Obviously, web comics are not subjected to content restrictions of publishers or comic syndicates, enjoying an artistic freedom that is seemingly boundless on the net. Here, censorship is virtually non-existent. More often than not, such publications sustain a fair amount of followers by releasing new pages on a weekly or even monthly basis. Also because most web comics are in full color for every page released, they are referred as graphic novels instead.
For most artists making his/her own web comic is more towards a labor of love rather than money-making opportunity, with artists having to carry the burden of the costs for art supplies, server hosting and other expenses out of their own pocket while seeing little return. However there are the few that are able to make a living or earn commission through the publication of web comics from advertisements, donations, or even through the online sales of merchandises.
However the main focus today will be the few web comics that I would like to share with my fellow blog readers.
Have you ever watched The Adventures of Billy & Mandy on Cartoon Network?
Well, if you have (or even if you haven't!) then you will just love web comic published by Grim Tales From Down Below .The comic revolves around the time where Grim actually got married to a grown up Mandy, and the adventures they have with their two kids, Junior and MiniMandy. Graphic wise, the comic is excellent. One can see the extreme labor of love put into every stroke in every page. I find the story plot very entertaining and worthwhile, I even managed to shed a tear or two reading it! There's hilarity in it, as well as the familiarity of the original cartoon series, not to mention a heck load of cameo appearances from other shows such as Night before Christmas and HellSpawn. The comics are updated every Sunday.
On the other hand, VG Cat is an online web comic based on parodies of Video Games and movies using two gaming-freak cats as main cast, hence the abbreviated title VG Cats. Updated on Mondays, VG cats has a long successful archive of publications related to titles such as Pokemon, animes, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Halo and even 300. A fair bit of warning though, most of the pages published contains adult content, abusive language and serious defamation of fandoms. Definitely not for the sensitive. =D
Remember, once again you can just click on the title of the web comics to access their website.
And since it has been way past my bed time, I shall leave this at that for now. Hopefully I can muster up the patience to introduce more web comics in the future. Till then, good night~
