Web Comics - Digital Paper Meets Portability

Oglaf was a web comic series that I found rather hilarious (looking past all the innuendos and such). Its writer had a solid choice in stylization for the personality and direction of the tone in the visuals, as well as the writing aesthetically in the narration. The way that of which they speak to each other with the messed up spellings adds an interesting approach to understanding a character's sense of speech, and further adds to the look of a total goofball thus making the character that much more lovable. Web comics as a whole are interesting. There's no direct deadline (unless you're popular, of course, in which you must keep up for the fans), and the series is solely controlled by the creator. The development of the characters, world, and conflicts/jokes are at the mercy of the writer's mercy, without need of revision from a second series of hands. Essentially, it's far more laid-back, but easy to get into thanks to them mostly being free to view, lack of physical paper to care for and carry, as well as the portable devices we have today. I really do love webcomics as they're easy to follow (and follow-up on), and pick in the archives in comparison. Often the editor or author can leave little updates or notes, which is incredibly fun to see such transparency. Overall, they're a nice outlet for graphic narratives if you find yourself wanting to read one but lack the bookstore nearby.
