Savage Chickens and Chewbacca….

Saturday, August 21, 2010

1 Comment

Savage Chickens by Doug Savage is a webcomic made entirely from post-it notes. Which would be crap if the post-its weren’t pretty consistently funny. And then there’s this, a special, done supersize on one of those ridiculously big post-its that you always wondered why anyone would ever use them. Here’s the answer…. Thanks to Stuart [...]

Ectopiary

Friday, July 30, 2010

Comments Off

I hadn’t come across comics by Hans Rickheit until Jamie Smart posted a link on his Twitter to Hans’ current online project, Ectopiary. Hans explains that Ectopiary doesn’t really fit into a specific genre (personally I think it’s a good thing when a book doesn’t fit into a shoebox genre easily), although he’s kind of [...]

Nope, no idea what it is, what it’s about or how often. But I do know it starts on July 1st and is a new online strip from the Etherington Brothers, whose DFC Library volume Monkey Nuts is out in September. And that certainly makes it worth at least a look. More details here.

OpenBookToronto has two interesting videos up on Youtube, recorded at the recent TCAF gig, talking to comics creators about how and why they choose to create and disseminate their comics work, with one focusing on web comics and the other on self publishing, both well worth checking out (tip of the hat to Tom at [...]

My Cardboard Life’s week of guest strips

Friday, May 28, 2010

Comments Off

Philippa Rice’s My Cardboard Life has to be one of the more unusual webcomics out there as Philippa actually crafts the strips using cardboard, fabric and other materials rather than sketching (sometimes I expect them to start moving as they look like they should be in an animation). If you’ve not seen it before then [...]

I’m not the man you think I am at home, oh no no no, I’m a Rocketman!

You know we like Lizz Lunney‘s comics and here’s a nice helping of them to put a smile on your face this morning with Rocketman, currently being shared with the world by the wonderful Top Shelf 2.0 site (which has all sorts of comics loveliness on it and you should have it bookmarked)

The Everyday reaches an end..

Monday, May 3, 2010

1 Comment

(The Everyday #186 – coming to an end in a sweet, sweet way) We like Adam Cadwell’s The Everyday here at the FPI blog, and I said so here. So it’s with some sadness that we report (rather belatedly admittedly) that Adam’s decided it’s time to bring his webcomic to an end with strip 200. [...]

From our continental correspondent – the widsom of the crowd

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Comments Off

It would seem that the latest fad amongst the internet cognoscenti is the crowd.  The idea that, in the end, the best thing (whatever that may be) will be chosen by the most people, is, of course, one of the basic tenets of the whole current social media rave.  Recently, however, internet startups have been [...]

The Girly Comic site returns

Monday, March 22, 2010

Comments Off

I’m delighted at news from Selina Locke that the Girly Comic website is back in business. Why has the site been away? Selina explains that the demands of publishing and publicising the print version and dealing with convention appearances they simply could not keep up the amount of work involved in regular posting on the [...]

The Hardened Artery

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Comments Off

Mssrs Noble and Lambden have been in touch to tell us that their latest webcomic; “The Hardened Artery” is online at The Sequential.com. Now with only one episode, it’s impossible to tell whether it’s actually going to be a webcomic about a theatre reviewer as episode 1 suggests, but seeing as Noble continually surprises with [...]

Alex’s audio roundup

Thursday, February 25, 2010

It’s a damp Thursday at the end of February, one half of the UK shivers in snow, the other half in dismal rain, but who cares when we can stay in by the fire and listen to the new-fangled wireless type talking entertainments of Alex Fitch. As ever for more information and links to podcasts [...]
