Good points. I still say it's a qualitative difference, but someone can probably find more creative examples of linking. It's one of the most creative uses I've found, though. I wonder if any web advertisers are satisfied with eyeballs rather than click-throughs? After all, shouldn't a Nike web bann...

*chimes in for pity* I've been sick for four weeks now.

Okay, so it's mostly just a cough and certain embarrassing flu symptoms, nothing like Scott suffered. Stay healthy in Korea, Scott!

You could make notes, but it's not the same as pointing right to the original thing you refer to. The link is fundamentally different than a cross-reference or a citation.

Web comics can make jokes that print can't.

My October 30 post on http://decafsilicon.blogspot.com points out a joke between two webcomic artists -- a joke that you can't pull off in print.

Yes, I'm doing this for blog hits from comics fans. :roll: But it's a good entry.

Ooh. Claire Pettibone sells lingerie.

Dr. Dennis Pettibone teaches history at Southern Adventist University.

There are other Dr. Pettibones on Google, but most are dull.

Scott, did you know a Dr. Pettibone?

I ought to buy a whole CD of his...I love everything Dr. Demento's played by Lehrer. "The Elements," "Masochism Tango," and "Poisoning the Pigeons." Scott, have you listened to Stan Freberg? Great stuff by that guy -- "Wun'erful, Wun'erful," a couple of Dragnet parodies, the best Elvis parody ever (...

Oh, oh, oh, has anyone approached rageboy about this? He's huge in the web business world. Co-wrote the Cluetrain Manifesto. And business comics sound up his alley.

And I link my friends to my favorite web comics...and I'm convincing a couple to buy BitPass accounts.

And yeah, let's have more business books in comic form!

I dunno, I'd go with my library metaphor (that I laid out so poorly) -- after reading some of your other work and seeing a preview of your new work, I get a feel for expectations. The issue, if I've sussed it, is the ease of copying anything from the web. Anything you can browse on the web, you can ...

To revert to an earlier topic -- I have an mp3 of Shatner singing with Ben Folds. Folds liked Shatner's work, so he wrote Shatner, who sang "In Love" on Folds's CD "Fear of Pop." Yahoo ran a brief on it: http://launch.yahoo.com/read/news.asp?contentID=163205 If anyone wants a copy, *cough* I might *...

Hell, call me tasteless or easily amused; I felt well rewarded when I bought "The Package" and "Geeks in Love." Colin, your three-panel combos most interested me -- the ones where one panel slightly changes twice before the first two iterations pull away from the third. Was that completely foggy, or...

He looks Russian.

Actually, he looks better suited to a story titled "Murder on the Orient Express."

Quite a bit of plot development in today's panel. :roll:

Here's a hypothesis: Because releasing one panel a day makes the audience pay much more attention to each panel, the audience pressures the artist to move the story more quickly or to include much distracting entertainment in each panel.
