The Rise of Web Comics: a short PBS documentary

It was fun to see the faces behind some of my favorite web comics in this brief PBS documentary.

The internet has given birth to yet another new medium: web comics. Moving beyond the restrictions of print, web comic artists interact directly with audiences who share their own unique worldview, and create stories that are often embedded in innovative formats only possible online. Sometimes funny, sometimes personal, and almost always weird, web comic creators have taken the comic strip form to new, mature, and artistic heights.

Cartoonists interviewed:

Christina Xu, Breadpig

Nick Gurewitch, Perry Bible Fellowship

Sam Brown, Exploding Dog

Lucy Knisley, Stop Paying Attention

Andrew Hussie, Homestuck
