One of the web comics that I’ve been following for years is
“Boxer Hockey” by Tyson Hesse (http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/index.php).
I used to follow his personal art page on another website so I know that the
character Rittz is based off of the artist. This comic is centered on a sports
team of four guys and their coach. The storyline follows the shenanigans they
get into on and off the field.
I also read some of
“Hanna is not a boy’s name” by Tessa Stone (http://hanna.aftertorque.com/ ). Which
I think is fantastic but suffers from infrequent updating. The reader gets
attached to the characters and then it’s basically like standing at the edge of
a canyon.
When I was in middle school and into high school I worked on
my own web comic. I posted it on my deviantArt account and tried my best not to
let three weeks go by without updating. I would draw everything out and use
colored pencils to try to give it some pop, and then I would have a friend
proof read my pages. My comic really had no overlying plot and just followed a
group of goofy high school monsters. However I got some positive feedback from
it and even encouragement to keep posting. I didn’t know why people liked my
comic but I kept at it for quite awhile and even tried to make an additional
two comic stories. Of course, I’m not working on any of them anymore, but
sometimes I miss those stories.
