Tube Surfing: Web-comics special!

By John Freeman on June 22, 2010

Righty-ho, what’s happening (in web-comics terms) out there…

Talented cartoonist Tom Humberstone took a break from his Hundred Days project (hundred cartoons in hundred days). He’s back now, so go check out his stuff, which is rather cool…

Have you seen My Cardboard Life? It’s kind of… defies description, really. Go look…

Adam Cadwell only has five more strips to go before he finishes The Everyday, his web-strip about, well, stuff that he notices in his everyday life. If you haven’t caught it yet, it’s worth a gander.

Are you reading Phil Spence’s Ninja Bunny? Well worth your time… as is Marc Ellerby‘s diary comic, Ellerbisms.

Oh, and according to John Allison, the ‘t-shirt as vital part of the web-comic money-making ecosysytem’ bubble has burst. You can console him by reading his excellent Bad Machinary and then help him by buying his stuff.
