Web Comic Art

The internet is a vast interesting place, filled with endless information at a click of a button, tons and tons of knowledge of pretty much every single subject one can think of, but now we are not going to talk about that, we will distract you cleverly and talk about a growing trend in the internet, Web comic art. It might not ring a bell clearly at the moment but, if you use the internet regularly there is a fair chance that you have viewed some of it today or will do afterwards.

Memes, fumettis, web comics and web comic strips, occupy the attention of literary millions of internet users, this phenomenon began with the very beginning of the internet and has wide spread ever since the web's early days. As the internet began making available comic strips from regular publications, the internet began showing newer and newer comic strips, by independent artists. Most of these strips were done as a hobby by their creators, without any real financial ambition. How ever some of them have experienced some success. Their subject matter ranges on any subject available, with sometime highbrow humor. For example here is one of the most successful and popular web comic strips, Cyanide & Happiness, commenting on Viagra.

One of the newest forms of internet craze are called internet meme, a term originally used to describe a concept that spreads via the internet. Raging from viral videos to user submitted funny images, or altered images regarding anything in pop culture in general. From a cheap Viagra laugh, to political incorrect comments of the latest movies, to comments on everyday life situations. At first they were passed on as email attachments that would be distributed on forwarded emails all over the internet, but later websites emerged allowing users to upload their own material. Internet memes are seen as cost-effective, and because they are a (sometimes self-conscious) fad, they are used as a way to create an image of cleverness or trendiness and with social network and the capability to reach millions of users, one can only imagine the possibilities.
