The idea of every person in the world with a blog instead doing a web-comic... it absolutely fascinates me.

All the... livejournal blogs dedicated to bands that have never played for anyone other than themselves or to how awesome cutting is, all the... opendiary blogs dedicated to how awesome bulemia is or how their pregnancy is the most fascinating and spiritual pregnancy in human history, all the... blogspot blogs about how some 15-year-old kid has dissected the entire political scene or how Japanese culture is 500% superior in every way.

Every single one of those mental-giants, drawing a semi-daily web-comic instead.

It would be the most awesome trainwreck ever.

Please, Y-hw-h, let this go down.

If you don't think that half these people have, or have attempted, webcomics, you're really not looking hard enough. A lot of them have the protective camouflage of being furry, though, so you might have to hunt them down.

Not that you should...

Anyway, that's a neat blog entry. Props for linking Cartilage Head.

This heralds the start of NaWCoDraMo!

(National WebComic Drawing Month)

It is sure to include a website that, despite encouraging literacy and creativity, will still use the word 'peeps (http://www.nanowrimo.com)' on the main page.

It was the Time blog thingy that brought me here (to experience the ineffable joys of this space). I thought the blog entry (and its subsequent apologetic follow-up) sucked, but it was good to see the Awesome that is Achewood get its props in a mainstream something-or-other.

Was it my invitation?  I wonder why the link was removed?
