Avenue

I believe I've gotten a feel for the wonderful world of Web 2.0. But what's it all for? Communication, social networking, commerce, advertisement, etc.?

I think the ability of any individual to broadcast their thoughts and opinions in a free-form is probably the greatest aspect of Web 2.0. Within that realm, they can offer their creativity in different forms, through art, poetry, photography, and any mashup therein. I am no different.

My youth was spent mulling over the comics pages of the Saturday Newspaper and developing the ability to mimic the works of Berkeley Breathed, Jim Davis, Cathy Guisewite, Mort Walker, Dik Browne, and soforth. So of course I had my own comic strip and dreams of having it printed next to Opus frollicking in the dandelion patches of Bloom County. My comic strip went through various iterations but stalled once I got into University, and stayed dormant until I got that oh so important degree.

A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon a site called Comics Sherpa that allowed the average person to post their comic strips online for public viewing (and often blasting!). Those comics that got good reviews eventually get picked up by major publishers to get printed worldwide. So there it was, my opportunity to create my works on a live forum! Too bad my day job got in the way.

Well, now that I've tuned into all things Web 2.0, here's another attempt at resurrecting my comic strip, Avenue, found at http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=csisz. Perhaps now I'll start putting Web 2.0 to good use....perhaps!

imho
