Webcomic Talk  
I've been thinking about the idea of categorizing the webcomics I read by approach. I'll get into this more later, but it's interesting to me that we lump all webcomics together in order to measure them in terms of "success", when some of those comics are radically different from each other.

Saying "webcomic" is like saying "tv show"; I don't think you can compare Lackadaisy to XKCD any more than you can compare Law & Order to The Drew Carey Show. They are completely different things --so why are we measuring them with the same yardstick?

So, sometime this weekend, I'm going to expand my thoughts on this. In the meantime, anybody who thinks this is an interesting topic of discussion can g'head and chime in whenever.

This is also true of videogames as well.

In fact, I think it's true of any art form. There are many significant differences which aren't apparent without some understanding and appreciation.
