Awesome post. I think the decline of the newspaper has brought an influx of great art to the web and mobile platform. And if the newspaper becomes digital, then it won’t be long before cartoonist are drawing for their local newspaper so their strips can be read on the latest Kindle or Sony Reader, or whatever.

I haven’t seen Circle Versus Square before, so I went to their site. Hilarious. Great Link. Minimalist shapely humor at its best.

I like the “simpler” webcomics as well. They seem to have almost an indie film quality to them because their so creative with whatever they have at their disposal. But I think they demonstrate the fact that you don’t have to be an artist to be comic creator, you just need be creative and tell a good story.
Which is one of the reasons why I liked “Circle Versus Square”, cause its got these two characters going up against each other, simply because they’re different shapes. What makes it great is that it’s not much different from our own squirmishes.
Have either of you checked out Shiga’s FLEEP? about the man trapped in a phone encased in concrete.
