Perhaps "situation" was the wrong word. I didn't mean a "scene", since many one panel comics are simply a comparison between two objects, or a hybrid that seems amusing. Perhaps a better choice of words would be "concept" or "statement, or statements". Here's a little something I think is worth ment...

Okay, here are some points that have been suggested or implied: 1- You gotta have static images. It can be as simple as a smily face, but some kinda picture (even,in some rare cases, wordart) has to be there. 2- There has to be the progression of a situation, even if only in the mind of the audience...

Cool. I like it.

But I, personally, don't think it's a comic.

I like it... in real life, words and thoughts do not obscure our vision, so this is certainly a more realistic way of presenting things...

Sandy: I would say that last example you posted isn't a comic because the images aren't doing the lion's share of the communicative work . --Doc MacDougall, emphasis mine. The lion's share... I think that's an important idea. A movie can use static images or text in places to convey emotion, but it...

A lot of cartoonists are taking time off until the end of the year... seems December is a popular time for vacations. Go figure.

Perhaps it is a comic, even divorced from the archives, because we know who Kate is.

I think Kate feels that it is not a comic-- not because it's only one panel-- but because her life no longer tells a coherent story, and because it is not "comic" (i.e. amusing)

You know, the only reason I believe my life doesn't have readers is because it's so mundane...

A community, not an industry. I like that.

For me, finding people who have linked to me is a good way to discover other strips.

Difficult to navigate. It's hard to see if there's actually a coherent story to it.

Interesting, though. Great art, as always.

Make it? I don't think so.

I love cartooning and all, it's a big part of my life, but, for whatever reason, I just can't see myself living off my art. Not that there's any chance of that occurring.

Interesting... surreal, but meaningful.

Animated gifs... nice. An interesting use of the format.

And I like Chapter Three, Ignatz in particular. Very sweet.

Miraculous.

I really think you've got something good here, Zubkavich. You know what you're doing.

I hope your second chapter is as good as your first.

Interesting... a nice format.

Can't wait to see more.

"It'd take longer if I could draw... "

Heh. I know the feeling.

Many comics, such as my own and Patrick Shaugnessy's, have each character speak in a different font. And, of course, as they experience extreme sensations or want to say something in an odd way, those are represented as distortions in that font. A dialogue could happen simply in different fonts... a...

Agreed.
Very beautiful.

I'm gonna have to agree. I can see how this sort of thing would be necessary for a more complex, epic story, but not like this. It just seems like they're showing off.

I'd hesitate, even, to call it a comic.

I believe that, for a low-profile artform like webcomics, all artists have a certain obligation to link to at least a few other webcomics. In theory, then, one person could discover one webcomic, and go out from there to discover every other comic out there. Really, if you're an online cartoonist, i...

It varies quite a bit for me. I can't ever really carve out time for my comic, I have to do bits and pieces whenever I can find the time. I never really keep track of how long it takes, but I can usually get a set of ten strips done in about 6-10 hours.

Before I started writing my comic strip-- before I was even aware that web-based comic strips existed-- I had a sort of creative fantasy in which I could create an entire world, indexed in space and time, through which the user could explore. There would be interlocking stories, and, if the user wer...

I like the way the panels are put together.
