After the first few weeks of my exploration of webcomics, I have gained a decent understanding of their history and a few unique styles that are popular on the internet today. However, today I felt like exploring some more theoretical aspects of webcomics and digital comics in general. One of the best ways to gain useful information on the web is through FAQs or Frequently Asked Question pages. After all, if many people have already asked the same question, you probably will too. I was lucky enough to find an FAQ about digital comics with answers from Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics, a book that any comic enthusiast needs to read. In this FAQ, McCloud gives his expert opinion on topics such as digitalization redefining comics, the internet’s effect on comics, and, most interestingly, the infinite canvas. If you’re asking, “What is the infinite canvas?”, I’m not going to answer that question here. After all, you can find a thorough answer here on McCloud’s FAQ here.
