Comic Book Markup Language

I think that this would be a splendid XML project...
"CBML, or Comic Book Markup Language, is a TEI-based XML vocabulary (with DTD and schema representations) designed to accommodate the XML encoding of comic books and graphic novels."

Good article i09!

My fav. sci-fi website, i09, posted an article exploring controversies covered in seinen (adult manga) vs. shonen (kid/boy manga). Not only is it incredibly good in an in-depth way, but it mentions series and gives their respective links for further inspiration. Hurray for name-dropping, I now have more books to add to my 'Must Read' list!

So, I thought I'd post it since there are quite a few in the group (myself included) who joined with the hope of hearing about new and exciting things. Happy reading! :-)

Irish webcomic = new friend

I was on a search for an Irish Webcomic and I came across Flatmates. It's first one has a woman who talks about how hard it is for her to find a hat that fits her [supposedly] large head.

I love it already. I have the same problem. :-)

The Shikwekwes

Remember that Kenyan webcomic that Lucy mentioned? Well, I found it. It looks like it hasn't been updated since September of '08 though.

Buttercup Festival

Late(r) to the party, but this is probably my favorite, so I want to share it:

Buttercup Festival by David Troupes. You can view the first series by clicking BF Series I, where you'll also get an overview of the comic. The first series was in a school newspaper, but the second series is strictly web-based.

Enjoy!

Webcomic central, sort of...

This is a little late to the party, but here it is anyway--

The Webcomic List

It's a listing of a ton of webcomics. They appear by genre, but I think not alphabetical order. I found a few fun ones there last week.

See you all this afternoon!

Dwarf Tossing

I just thought I'd share this, in case anyone is interested. An old friend of mine has a webcomic that he works on off and on when he can. I actually don't follow it myself (^^;) but I thought I'd share at least.
