Oh No, Webhead!
Joey Manley interviews me and Ryan North about OhNoRobot. Highlight:
Well, you can Google "zombie webcomics" and actually find Eric Maziade's ZOMBIES. But you can't find the miles-long zombie sequence in SCARY-GO-ROUND, or "28 Geeks Later," the clever mix of parody and suspense in SLUGGY FREELANCE, or a gag cartoon about ZOMBIE ISLAND.
SLUGGY FREELANCE and SCARY-GO-ROUND are two of the more successful webcomics out there, critically as well as commercially. And I find both their takes on zombies funny and thoughtful. They should not be overlooked simply because their word balloons are not HTML text. We created OhNoRobot to see that they won't be.
We haven't indexed SLUGGY or SCARY-GO-ROUND yet, but believe me, it's on the agenda...
