Shonen Punk

So let’s do some talking. As we all know I have always kept a foot in the local underground music scene from starting teabeer studios for making metal logos and gig flyers in 2004 to tossin’ logos, fonts and flyers for punk and psychobilly bands. So obviously I have long time love of the scene and it was the real social network before myspace and facebook raped our lives.

Your probably wondering what I’m getting at here. Well to be frank this is about webcomics. I’ve been thinking about this for a while but after reading onezumi’s post about webcomics supposedly being claimed as dead (where she has compared webcomics to that of independant bands)l, I realized I’ve always dreamed that the fabled “webcomics scene” would be like my local scene here in Whittier, California. Where we still have punk bands, metal bands and psychobilly bands all play shows together. I think I want a webcomic scene like that, a scene where webcomics despite genre, focus or intent can hang out and support eachother through association.

I know that this all sounds crazy and wishish. But I believe it an be done. I say we rise up and ban together. A site that could be a central hub would be awesome. I suppose one that could nab status updates that are about webcomics from twitter and other places would be keen. Hmm actually a hashtag would make that possible wouldn’t it? Im no super techsaavy super dude. But if you are, get with it man! For now I say we abuse #webcomicscene on twitter this could be pretty punk rock, you know?
