I thought I'd give you folks a peak at the online viewing I do on a weekly basis. This is a list of the blogs, journals, podcasts and cartoons I think are intriguing.
•Webcomics Weekly• A podcast with four creators about their experiences as online creators. Scott Kurtz, Brad Guigar, Dave Kellet and Kris Straub are all excellent cartoonists who were at the forefront of online comics. Their conversations are lively, insightful and sometimes profane.
•Tall Tale Features• Tom Racine does excellent podcasts and video interviews with both online and syndicated creators. He also features insiders in the newspaper syndication business that makes this especially well rounded. The best broadcasting standard of any podcast I've heard so far.
•Comic Riffs• Washington Post writer Michael Cavna's blog about all things surrounding comics, animation, movies or cartoons. This blog is always on top as far as the latest scoop in any of the above and Mr. Cavna is a great writer.
•The Daily Cartoonist• Alan Gardner launched TDC in 2005 as an open forum to all things cartoon related. The comments section is especially interesting reading as the pros express themselves in what used to be newsroom only rants.
•Dan Piraro• The Bizarro creator uses his blog to talk about the inspiration behind his cartoons, as well as a manifesto for his personal views on politics, religion, music or whatever else he considers interesting. His writing is as funny as his cartoons.
•Rina Piccolo• Funny, honest and candid, Ms. Piccolo's accomplishments are enviable. She writes three comic strips (Tina's Groove, Six Chix, Velia, Dear), has been published in the New Yorker, as well as maintaining a highly entertaining blog. All are executed with amazing quality.
•David-Wasting-Paper• A great peek at the creators behind all kinds of comics and cartoons.
•Mike Lynch• Daily news and deep trivia from a guy earning his living as a magazine cartoonist. He obviously loves the art form.
•Webcomic Alliance• Four creators deliver a weekly podcast describing the problems and (hopefully) solutions that arise for online creators.
There are a lot more folks online that I read, but this list is primarily where I go for inspiration, education and insight. I hope there's something relevant in this for you. Enjoy!
