Following a link regarding Comic-Con photos from Scott's site leads one here: http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~shweta/ComicCon.html where, after the photos (way down at the bottom), our host, Shweta, drops some comments in passing about reading comics via trails and the how we understand the comic by following the convention (as new a convention as it is). Food for thought.

Scott- Any chance of seeing a better image of Sky's fourth-wall-breaking trailed comic?
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

I felt the same frustration--please show the world what Shweta (and Zack's photo) only hinted at.

Thanks to Shweta for posting this. I've been waiting so long for something about the goings on at ComicCon (besides Meighan's snapshots) that I forgot I was waiting.

and, yeah, I want to see Sky's comic, too.

there should be an article by tristan in the upcoming issue of the journal that will describe the trials and tribulations and adventures of the art of online comics panelists.

keep an eye out for it!

This is most impressive! It looks as though it continues on the reverse--does it? May we see?
That which we haven't yet bothered to imagine is not therefore impossible.

Wow. That breaks so many of the conventions that we've seen so far, I think it's a perfect illustration of just how much ground there is still to cover before we can even think about what digital comics conventions might be!

Aside from the fact that it's a simple story/narrative idea and is drawn simply, there's so much going on at once that it actually is rather mind-blowing.
