Hashtag Funnies
Neill Cameron, of Bulldog Empire fame, has set himself up to an arduous but often funny task of a putting up a daily webcomic. Well, daily in the 'every weekday' sense of the word. But the twist? It relies on the internet titan Twitter, using one of the day's trending topics as its source material. Hence the title, Hashtag Funnies. Cameron often deviates from the context of the tweets but this allows for some creative flexibility that the exercise is probably meant to develop.
In another program intended to inspire you to get up and write (but sadly not hugely comics-related), let's not forget that November is National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNo WriMo. Though the graphic novel creation process might be too grueling for an amateur to complete within 30 days, Mr. Cameron's daily upload is a great example of how the internet, when applied correctly, can be a great productivity tool. Perhaps as we become increasingly interconnected, the dream of a NaGraNo WriMo as a writer/artist collaboration won't be too far fetched. Just sayin'.
