John Campbell vs. Kate Beaton: War of the Webcomics
May 12, 2008 at 5:15 pm | In The Webcomic Overlook, webcomics | 1 Comment… or “Two Artists Enter, Three Walk Out.” What?
On the SomethingAwful forums, I just read about a very interesting exchange that happened over this weekend. On his blog, John Campbell (Pictures for Sad Children) took a light-hearted jab at everyone’s favorite historical-based webcomic artist, Kate Beaton (of, uh, Kate Beaton):
Most webcomic artists would shrink away. However, there must be something in that Maritime water:
Eventually, someone had to step in to mediate. Who better than KC Green (Bee Power, Horribleville)?
Okay, so maybe someone else could’ve done better.
It’s very good natured and quite fun. Frankly, if more wars could be resolved through the power of webcomics … well, I can’t assure you that they’d be less bloody, but at least we all could get a good laugh out of it.
Check out the entire exchange at John Campbell’s blog. Don’t forget to look at the comments!
