Webcomic Obituaries #1

Spells and Whistles, the creation of Tauhid Bondia. Gained noteriety tangling with Scott Kurtz, escaped, went on hiatus, and came back again. Was ambitious, but died suddenly and without warning.

Teo and Sara, creation of Jorge Hernadez. Was charming and showed great promise. Preferred to die with dignity rather than linger on as an incomplete memory. Will be remembered regardless.

NeTrek, creation of Simon Shepherd. Ended and found a higher calling. Godspeed and all the best, Sij.

Gigawhut?, creation of Brian Maze. Plugged to soon, Found too soon, Websnarked too soon, currently Missing in Action. Have you seen this webcomic?

Memorial: Will Eisner

The news should be breaking out all over the 'Net. A Legend has passed.

For some one like me who has relative ignorance of the comic book industry, I have to admit that I know very little of Will Eisner in comparison (actually the little I know probably comes from Barb-Lien Cooper's references to him in her writings), but I've always found that the things he said always seemed to make bloody good sense.

And such people are all too rare. I dare say he'll be missed.
