Four Webcomic “Shorts” You Really Must See
I don’t read as many webcomics as some people do (I just don’t have the time), but I love the ones I do read, and I follow them religiously. My favorites are in the Links list on the right side, for those who are curious.
I didn’t occur to me at first that along with the usual sort of webcomics, which are formatted as either strips or pages and which update on a regular basis, you could also have webcomic “shorts.” A sort of short one-short story in comic form. Then one friend introduced me to “Our Blood-Stained Roof” by Ryan A., and I was cured of my ignorance. Now, I love webcomic shorts, especially those that are unique in style, and tell intriguing and strange stories. It takes a lot of talent to both plan/write the story and to do the drawing/painting as well.
Here are four webcomic shorts that I absolutely love, and think you’ll enjoy too. I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t give you any sort of summary for these (some of them would be kind of hard to describe anyway). Just take my word for it: they’re wonderful.
