the comics I've told you about link to it, now is a good time to acquaint yourselves with it. The name of the game today is Wondermark, written and "drawn" by David Malki. The reason I say drawn is opposed to either a digital or analog method of drawing, Malki instead uses prints from Victorian era periodicals and pictures from his own collection of rare books, and adds contemporary dialog in order to create something unique and truly funny. It's pretty difficult to explain, so here is a recent example:
Also, something worth mentioning now that I have shown more than a few choice comics is the fact that almost all webcartoonists know each other, keep in touch with each other, and help each other out, usually in the form of guest comics. For example, in the following Dr, Mcninja, Chris Hastings consulted Malki for a memorable strip involving the bashing of the steampunk genre, seen here:
I'll be sure to show other collaborations and partnerships as we come to those comics, but until then, stay tuned!
