Paul fails to comprehend that, given the sheer number of extant webcomics out there, there are in fact thousands of entirely separate “webcomics communities”. I mean, there are at least five on KeenSpace/Spot/Whatever alone.

He is, unfortunately, right that all of them are horribly over-incestuous.

“I mean, itâ€™s a nice little website and all, but if webcomics had a logo, it would be a snake eating another snake, eating another snake who is having a hard time getting a girlfriend. ”

Paul – if you make this, I will tattoo it on my FACE.

William, I think we’re all just riffing on the fact that the webcomics community is incestuous enough as it is. We need a way to get the message out to the Normals, not advertise to more of our own kind.

I don’t understand the elitism guys. It’s this social networking thing that got everyone their audiences to begin with. No more or less worthy than the other methods of attention-getting like a toplist or messageboard.

As for the long term viability of it, adding the power to blog/ post new material will assure it’ll get used by some. Cynic that I am, though, I predict it will become like that previous bandwagon everyone jumped on, the wiki at Comixpedia.org: It’ll serve as a neglected reference tool for everyone who remembers it’s there.

What are you talking about, Jeph? Don’t you know how many virgins are in webcomics? Vernereal diseases…yeah right.

Yeah, I signed up.

I don’t foresee this having a lot of staying power, but for the moment I get to pretend all these small press publishers actually give a shit about me and my eight word profile.

With any luck, I’ll snag a reader or two before the wave crashes.

Yay! The webcomic promotion circle-jerk has a new outlet!
Oh who am I kidding? I’m on it too.

Next up is ComicsCupid, where webcomic artists can fill out personality tests, meet, and exchange venereal diseases (and crippling social phobias).

When Warren E first mentioned this, it said it was “Myspace for Comics People.”

I turned off the computer and went for a walk.
