"Writing Webcomics" in Write Now! #12


Write Now! #12 has a piece I did for the webcartoonist newb called "Writing Webcomics." It's harder than people think. First you squiggle out the "W" in a way that's legible yet distinctive, and then you must decide: "Capital E or lower-case e? WWSMCD-- What Would Scott McCloud Do?"

Could this be the first webcomic-newspaper comic crossover? I know of no earlier.

New and intriguing: Dirk Schwieger's Tokyo Blog. He does work on an assignment basis, then posts the results in his Livejournal. Thoughtful! And the interactive premise reminds me of The Morning Improv.

Comments:
Does the Bruno/Helen crossover count? I can't remember whether it happened before or after Helen went all printy.
 
Looks like it's "copyright 1997-1998," so that's a "before." (Helen went over the wall in 2000.)
