The latest Webcomics Examiner features a roundtable discussion on experimentation in webcomics with me, Cat Garza, Eric Burns, Eric Millikin, Tim Godek, Bob Stevenson, Alexander Danner and Philip Sandifer. Neal Von Flue moderates. It's a contentious discussion: Neal smartly assembled some people with widely diverging perspectives on a controversial issue, and that makes it more of an interesting read.

I don't have as many insights as some of these guys and I tend to clam up at the middle of the discussion. My personal highlight:

Scientists talk about the "observer effect" diluting the purity of their results (the most famous example being Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle). Comics are all "observer effect." No observer, nothing worth discussing. Making yourself happy is not enough.

Thanks to Eric Millikin for the portrait (at right). "Primordial soup." Hee hee.
