Comics on the web.
Should we see "wild-eyed optimism about Web comics" as "contempt for the comics form"? There was once a big debate about that. One key complaint from back then remains: on the web, there's a pull toward animation that threatens the things we love about the printed page.

I love Day by Day by Chris Muir. Better for me than any print comics, with the possible exception of Dilbert.
One of his strong points is that the art work is minimal - he apparently just cuts and pastes bodys and heads to his stock figures. The advantage this gives him over many others doing comics is that he is invariably topical. Instead of waiting a week (to ten days) to see a comic strip on some issue, you sometimes don't have to wait more than a couple of hours, and never more than a day.
