There’s been a discussion here about online cartoons. I do an occasional online panel cartoon, and have talked about the sad state of comic strips in newspapers. Some people have even wondered if there is a future with the typical format of strips. So I have spent some more time looking into online comics and will drop a few links on here from time-to-time, when I have time.
This is a site called Lunchbox Funnies. It features some really nice looking work, in various formats. including a great visual strip by Ovi Nedelcu. It seems kind of dead right now, the last posting on the homepage from September 25th. I hope that’s not a sign of internet death. It’s always unsettling to stumble across sites that were once very busy and active then ceased all activity. Blogs can be like that. It’s sad to see all the energy and updating and ideas and then…nothing. It’s better if it would just go away I think, then hang on in the purgatory of no updates. I always worry that something horrible happened. At least post a “we will be back in a month” or something. Mark Evanier always posts a can of tomato soup on days when he doesn’t have time to write on his non-blog-blog. Anyway, check Lunchbox Funnies out, read the comics and enjoy some good cartoon work. More good work shows up online everyday.
