Line 8:
The medium as a whole suffers from the same problems as [[Fanfic]] with regards to [[Sturgeon's Law]]: a low barrier to entry means that the entire 90% of crap is visible. While many of the webcomics -- particularly those on free community sites like [http://www.drunkduck.com/ Drunk Duck] and [http://www.comicgenesis.com/ Comic Genesis] and [http://comicfury.com/index.php Comic Fury] -- are considered low quality, there are many high-quality comics out there.
 
Some webcomics, such as ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' and ''[[Xkcdxkcd]]'' have even gained sufficient popular and critical acclaim to earn their creators a living wage from their work, usually via selling [[The Merch]]. As was noted on the [[Newspaper Comics]] page, the bar for success in sequential art was set fairly low by the old newspaper syndicates and comics publishers, so "a living wage" rather than movie/rock star extravagance is all anyone ever expected to begin with.
 
Webcomics work on a very different set of standards than other fiction. Almost all webcomic authors are working pretty much entirely alone as they both draw and script their comics and most do not plan any further along than to the end of their current story -- sometimes not even that far.
