Title: Webcomics
Post by: Karl Castaneda #2 on February 20, 2006, 01:39:09 PM
I've been in rookie webcomic teams a couple times (although neither of them got to the net, even though the second one had around eight strips finished), and I always find it funny that the biggest argument you'll ever have has nothing to do with what art style you're going to use, whether or not you'll have story arcs, etc. It's the name. And man, my webcomics had some bad first-idea names. Here are a few examples:
Warez Waldo
ROMmates
I Think She Gave Me Pixelitus
Go After Monday, Energetic Robot! (G.A.M.E.R., get it? Oh, god... )
The final names were eventually Console Wars and High-Rez. The former lost its artist in pre-production and the second comic disbanded from inner conflict. I'd do my own but my art is crap; I mostly write. Anyway, feel free to pitch nonsense webcomic ideas here and make fun of the examples above.

I've heard of this one called Penny Arcade. It's supposed to be pretty funny. I think the URL is pennyarcade.com. You might want to check it out for ideas or something. It's a pretty dumb name. I would have called it The Adventures of Pocky Boy & Wunder Kid.

A while back, cube-europe asked for entries for a webcomic. Here's what won.
And here's what I submitted. In retrospect, it was a bit...rough.

How about a web comic that isn't snarky comments on video games and their culture. I think they already have that subject covered.

For mine, even though it's a one man gig and everything, it has a pretty high following [around 3K a day]. I've tried staying away from the video game ones, sometimes they come up, but I'm just trying to get mine to be about anything in general.
