In the tradition of Kez, who is often more honest than she should be, here is my review of Ka-blam…in partial story format. So, firstly, there’s this long-time digital artist named Kez.

The Art of Webcomics Post 8
Continuing the previous thesis excerpt from Part III: Strengths of the Digital Medium.

What is a “Webcomicker” and why do I use this term?

I’m going to skip the rest of the Part II: A History of Webcomics because a history lesson that only goes back 20-something years without any violent conflict is pretty boring (admit it! If there were no gory reenactments, you’d never watch the history channel!) . So, I’m going to dive into Part III, admittedly [...]

Here’s the next chunk of my thesis, still from Part I An Explanation of the Art of Comics: ——————- In order to understand where webcomics are today as an art [...]
