Tomorrow is the first day of September, and the kids are headed back to school. Which is great is you’re a webcartoonist, because that means they’re returning to reading webcomics from school.

Hitch it: Fabulous, retro-styled art with a tightly controlled palette. This comic has a tremendous visual appeal. And the dated look of the comic makes the edgy content that much edgier. I really like the way this comic looks. I’d like to encourage Erik to kick the Web design up a few notches so that it’s on-par with the visual appeal of the comic. Right now that comic deserves a much better-looking site.

This is a question that was submitted to Webcomics Weekly podcast that we never got to address, so I thought it would make a good discussion topic here.

Hitch It: Attention to excellent visuals. It’s easy to dismiss a comic like the Daily Blink as a sprite comic, but Chris and Michael clearly put a ton of effort into the visual aspect of their work.

Kickstarter has become the go-to fund-raising platform for many webcomics. Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub used it to great success in funding their new Web series, and Dave Kellett is currently using it to complete production on his upcoming documentary about comics in the Digital Age, “Stripped.”

Hitch It: Chris handles the duties of writing a daily strip admirably. His jokes land solid with a respectful frequency. He’s got a very good voice as a humorist. And he knows how to set up a gag very well. But most of all, he’s very good at pacing his strips from day to day. This is a comic strip that you can drop a person into the archives at any point, and they’ll be in the groove in no time. Minor characters are subtly re-introduced within the context of a strip, for example. And the story moves smoothly from day to day without jarring bumps or leaps. Chris has a very good grip on the balancing act of presenting a funny daily strip that makes it very easy for a new reader to become a regular one.
