I think web comics are great for some of the following reasons. the first reason is varity, news papers are run by evil corporations, no really its true. The Universal Press Syndicate is in charge, meaning not just anyone can get a comic in the main news papers, its nuts! so anyway, we comics rule because there are amazing people doing amazing things all over the place, usually in some sort of niche that wouldn't fly in a mainstream newspaper, i mean come on, do you really think penny arcade would end in a national newspaper? NINE! (that's supposed to be no in german for those of you keeping score). But really i think where web comics get their edge is varity, xkcd (a boat of awesomeness btw) sometimes has one panel, sometimes has 5 rows of three panels, giving the author a full range to do whatever the hell they want, im really amazed the scott adams of dilbert fame, can somehow cram something really damn funny in three panels. Imange him having the freedom to have as many panels and all the partial comic nudity he wants! but of course his ass is owned by United media (probably an evil corp, not that i have any proof but its a safe bet) and they would never give him freedom to publish a webcomic, no matter how much awesome it would be made of. So in closing, web comics give artists the freedom to express themselves with all the space, content and partial nudity they want with out getting ink all over your hands. cha!
