The future of comics is a bright one as far as I can see. With many people moving into the digital age it's no surprise that the creation of webcomics has kicked off so well. By now too there're so many webcomics to look at that it's become quite daunting as to what to choose. The only downside I can see of course is that with the continuing rise of webcomics we'll probably see a drop in physically produced comics at some point. Of course physical comics paperbacks and graphic novels will always be desired so they'll still be produced but I can see that maybe the demand to produce them may be dropped some bit since so many people use the internet to read now.
For this week I took it upon myself to once again read the magical and, ahem, perverse webcomic known as Oglaf! Oglaf is an incredibly funny and well witted (ha see what I did there!) comic that features a short sets of panels every week showcasing an often hilarious or sexually filled event featuring incredibly funny and often likable characters. While it's very NSFW at times it's definitely worth a read if you're not afraid to see certain genitals and bare chested peoples. The comic is usually updated fairly quickly. The creator is very connective with their fan-base so there's always a lot of funny instances in the comic that the fans can understand and appreciate, especially with the pop-culture or fantasy trope references that are thrown in.
Webcomics are definitely going to bring comics forward from now on seeing as how easy it is to make them and put them on the web for all to see and interact with. Compared to a physical comic, webcomics are easier to produce and plan out so long as you have the right programs. With different products coming out to help would-be comic creators as well like comic based digital design programs and how-to books almost anyone can make a comic/webcomic now. I mean one of the most popular comics on the web right now involves well written dialogue and stick figures. Never think you can't make a comic! It's becoming easier now more than ever.
