Notice that I took Alex and Ilia off the list and replaced it with Horrendous Acts. Pin never came back to post before the end of January.

page 1 wrote: Introduction - What is this all about?

The following pages contain original works and sample art submitted by a number of different amateur comic artists from around the world. These comics are published online for entertainment, artistic self-improvement or plain boredom. Whatever the case, these comics are free of charge.

The idea behind this sampler is to point people to some of the great, less well known comics on the web.

Unlike the huge, well-known webcomics like Megatokyo, Penny Arcade and Player Vrs. Player, most webcomic artists and writers cannot make a living with their comics. There are, in fact, hundreds of thousands of webcomics online and the audiences available for each comic are small. This sampler is an effort to get the word out about a few of the less well known comics and to show off the quality and diversity that is online comics.

Originally, this sampler had another purpose but we aren't allowed to mention it here. The mind control rays didn't work anyway.

So, please give our comics a look. We know and can't expect you to like all of them but, who knows, you might find something you didn't expect.

Just in case you were expecting that all to be cut & pasted, you forgot to list yourself in the list of contributors, faub. Just, you know, FYI, not to point out problems, or... shutting up now...

CJBurgandy · Post by **CJBurgandy** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 8:13 am

just another little FYI that isn't all that important. Although my comic is spelled Burgundy, my name is actually spelled Burgandy. I know it's confusing, and like I said, not too important, just thought you'd like to know.

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 9:11 am

That kept confusing me too. I kept thinking that you misspelled your own name and then warned people when they do the same.

War · Post by **War** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 9:45 am

With title and keenspace logo.

Without logo and title, just the plain image.

Faub · Post by **Faub** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 12:29 pm

I don't want to think how badly I butchered McDuffies' name. I fixed the rest, though. Anything else I missed?

Helixdq · Post by **Helixdq** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:02 pm

This looks really good, but hundreds of thousands of webcomcis ? Are there really that many (where ?). I figured around 20-30k or so total...

Soap Soaperson · Post by **Soap Soaperson** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:54 pm

When you also count the more obscure ones hosted on places like Geocities, I would say at least a hundred K.

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 5:46 pm

McDuffies by Srdjan Achimovich

Nothing wrong with my name, I see. That is, the closest transcription with the usual set of letters.

Faub · Post by **Faub** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 8:03 pm

Cortland has nearly completed the minicomic PDF and was wondering what to do with it. I've offered my dyndns site (I have others as well). War has offered his. I suggest we mirror this to as many sites as possible and distribute the load as much as we can.

Any takers?

Hartchamber · Post by **Hartchamber** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:17 pm

i can - i've got a decent bandwidth on my main site

Kris X · Post by **Kris X** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:58 pm

Thanks faub.

Birdie · Post by **Birdie** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:51 pm

Man I'm so excited, how long until a finished project to download and share?

Faub · Post by **Faub** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 12:20 am

cortland was downloading the last pages tonight. Once he says it's ready I'll post a link and we can start downloading.

So far, me, cortland, hartchamber and at least one other person (I forget who now) have volunteered to be the initial mirrors. The more people willing to host the file, the better.

Kris X · Post by **Kris X** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 12:28 am

We-ell. I unfortunately don't have muchability to do so, but I'd still like to see how it all turns out.
