[[Web Comics]] are pretty informal. All you need is an idea, a modicum of artistic talent, and somewhere on the internet to host it. And hey, there are [http://www.comicgenesis.com plenty] [http://www.webcomicsnation.com of] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131116115249/http://www.smackjeeves.com/ sites] to help you with the the latter. And all [[Home Page|the expanses of popular culture]] to inspire you with the rest.
The result is that an author is often pretty laid back about where exactly the line between [[Real Life]] and [[The Verse]] lies. We're talking about things past [[Author Avatar]] here. Way, way, past [[Reality Subtext]]. We're talking a protagonist whose name is the same as the author's [[Screen Name]], and who has the same attitudes and interests (except that he also has [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|Impossibly Cool Hair]]). We're talking a supporting cast that strikingly resembles the author's friends, except that they're always funny and one of them is probably a talking animal or something. We're talking about how they attend a [[Wacky College]] that seems identical to the one the author attends, except that the unpopular teacher is some kind of Orc or Robot and there's a [[Weirdness Magnet|portal to another universe]] in the basement.
