I like to think of WebComics, as the result of not enough paper. In truth no-one knows why so many artist have started using the internet to provide serial comics. It could be a wider readership, an easily built readership, or a way to break the traditional mold with both topic, style, and frequency.
A webcomic utilizes infinate space to convey a story, or a comic situation. For more informaion about comics and webcomics visit the pathfinder I made for a class.
