Scott McCloud - web comic

McCloud is a proper guy when it comes to sequential artwork.....he's done a book which I need to look at at some point called Reinventing Comics ( http://scottmccloud.com/2-print/2-rc/index.html ) where he spends some time focusing on the potential of online comics/ webcomics, whatever you want to call them. Talking about how the screen becomes a 'window' to the comic strip, removing the restrictions of printed media. Here's a comic from his series of morning improv comic strips, a series where every morning he'd improvise a short story based on ideas given by readers. If you look at them on the actual website :

you'll notice that it's continuous from left to right, but quite ironically to put it on my blog I have to lay it top to bottom.























The immediacy of webcomics has its obvious ups and downs.
On the one hand you do indeed get immediacy.
On the other you lose out on almost everything else; aesthetic merits and what have you. attention to detail and depth of storyline, out the window. You would never pay any money for it.
