Something that I have been wondering about is what most web cartoonist training has been.

As for me, I took some cartoon classes at the local rec center. Decided I wanted to be a cartoonist and went to School of Visual Arts. After a year of SVA I started working as a packaging artist. 17 years later i have been cartooning on and off, but nothing serious. In 1993 I got my first mac and it had Hypercard and an AOL account. (aol had 500,000 customers and were a distant third behind Prodagy and Copmuserve at the time) I thought hypercard was perfect for making comics, then I could post it on AOL so other people besides my friends could read them. It was a very limited audience. then at work we got Acrobat. I thought, great, crossplatform and a free reader, bigger audience. then I saw Flash getting popular with online animation. So I though great, I'll get that and do animation. It turned out to be too hard for me to do, but I started doing my comics in flash. And that is were I am now.
