  1. I can’t wait to read this tonight.

    I see us Web Cartoonists living through only three Ages…

    1. The Dark Ages 1985 -1997 — This is the first time I launch my strip and NO ONE read web comics online. Well, I am sure some people did, but the audience was pretty much non-existent.

    2. The Age of Enlightenment 1998 – 2006 — Web cartoonists stared getting some attention but were not making money or taken seriously by the syndicates.

    3. The Age of Opportunity 2007 to Present — I now see the edgier web strips having so many more possibilities now that TV has embraced such shows as Family Guy and South Park. Also with the dawn of this exciting electronic age, there are even more possibilities out on the web for us to make a little cash… even though I have yet to succeed at this myself. To limit this to the “Age of the App” is too narrow.

    I believe we are at the time when we will see some of us little web guys get some BIG TIME breaks in the way of maybe television or online media.

    It is an exciting time to be a simple web cartoonist!

  2. Some of us are living in The Age of Old Age.

    Can’t wait to read it, Shaenon!!

  4. The Stone Age stuff was really interesting, as was the whole article. Where will Webcomics be in another five or ten years? Or even next year?
