Line 19:
** I don't know. My webcomic scrolled vertically for that very reason. Maybe if it hadn't sucked it might have been able to have an influence on the webcomics world.
* I can understand that Most Writers are Geeks, fine...but why are so MANY comics the two-guys-on-a-couch thing? Why do so many webcomics (and this is much more annoying) end up being a long ramble about something the author either believes deeply in or hates? Can end up being serious business if it's something like video games/80's cartoons.
** Because people are lazy. Because people tend to write what they know and what they know best are themselves. Because someone they admire did it and they wish to be like those they admire. [[
*** And drawing people just sitting on the couch requires less artistic effort, too, since it makes it easy to get away with [[Copy And Paste Comic|copying and pasting]].
** Jumping the [[Penny Arcade]] bandwagon, I suppose?
Line 26:
** The freely-editable HTML of [[Comic Fury]] allows for relation attributes - that's why [[The Way of the Metagamer]] has them.
* Why do most webcomic authors, when they have their comic go through [[Cerebus Syndrome]], decide that a main character or two ''has'' to die to create drama? I'll admit that it ''can'' work sometimes, but more often then not the character that gets killed tends to go out [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|abruptly]] and that permanently killing off a character almost always tends to go against the main nature/theme/setting of the comic in general.
** [[Death Is Dramatic]], but webcomic writers [[
* I can understand Manga doing it--they have the excuse of not wanting to mirror the comic and Japanese is very different from English. However, I swear I've seen at least one English-written Manga style webcomic that was written right to left.
** Yeah, so have I. The answer is simple: Some people are simple.
