Guest Comic
A guest comic (or guest strip) is an issue of a comic strip that is created by a different person (or people) than usual. The practice is especially common in webcomics. Guest comics in webcomics Guest comics are usually requested of other artists by the usual creator of a webcomic. This may be done for a variety of reasons: * The creators are friends. * The usual creator will be unable to update the comic for some length of time, so they use guest comics to fill in the gap. * The usual creator enjoys (or thinks the audience will enjoy) seeing how other artists draw their characters. * A major phase of the plot has ended and the creator wants to take a break but keep the audience entertained. Guest comics are usually not meant to be canonical with the normal comic; their purpose is primarily entertainment. Sometimes, guest comics are not published as if they were regular comics, but instead exhibited on the comic's website in a separate section; e.g. ''White Ninja Comics''. Webcom ...

Comic Strip
A comic strip is a sequence of drawings, often cartoons, arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, these have been published in newspapers and magazines, with daily horizontal strips printed in black-and-white in newspapers, while Sunday papers offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the advent of the internet, online comic strips began to appear as webcomics. Strips are written and drawn by a comics artist, known as a cartoonist. As the word "comic" implies, strips are frequently humorous. Examples of these gag-a-day strips are '' Blondie'', ''Bringing Up Father'', ''Marmaduke'', and ''Pearls Before Swine''. In the late 1920s, comic strips expanded from their mirthful origins to feature adventure stories, as seen in ''Popeye'', ''Captain Easy'', ''Buck Rogers'', ''Tarzan'', and ''Terry and the Pira ...

Webcomic
Webcomics (also known as online comics or Internet comics) are comics published on a website or mobile app. While many are published exclusively on the web, others are also published in magazines, newspapers, or comic books. Webcomics can be compared to self-published print comics in that anyone with an Internet connection can publish their own webcomic. Readership levels vary widely; many are read only by the creator's immediate friends and family, while some of the largest claim audiences well over one million readers. Webcomics range from traditional comic strips and graphic novels to avant garde comics, and cover many genres, styles, and subjects. They sometimes take on the role of a comic blog. The term web cartoonist is sometimes used to refer to someone who creates webcomics. Medium There are several differences between webcomics and print comics. With webcomics the restrictions of traditional books, newspapers or magazines can be lifted, allowing artists and writers t ...

Canon (fiction)
In fiction, canon is the material accepted as officially part of the story in an individual universe of that story by its fan base. It is often contrasted with, or used as the basis for, works of fan fiction. The alternative terms mythology, timeline, universe and continuity are often used, with the first of these being used especially to refer to a richly detailed fictional canon requiring a large degree of suspension of disbelief (e.g. an entire imaginary world and history), while the latter two typically refer to a single arc where all events are directly connected chronologically. Other times, the word can mean "to be acknowledged by the creator(s)". Origin The use of the word "canon" originated in reference to a set of texts derived from Biblical canon, the set of books regarded as scripture, as contrasted with non-canonical Apocrypha. The term was first used by analogy in the context of fiction to refer to the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels, written by Sir Arthur Co ...

White Ninja Comics
''White Ninja'' is an animated webseries created by Scott Bevan and Kent Earle from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was previously a webcomic that ran from 2002 to 2012 as part of the National Lampoon Humor Network. The comic was also part of Dayfree Press and ran exclusive strips on Cracked.com between August 2008 and April 2009. The comics were rebooted as a webseries, launched in 2015. The ''White Ninja'' comic series had over 1300 comics in the archive and over 2000 fan-art submissions. The comic went on hiatus after March 21, 2012. One new comic appeared on July 13, 2012, followed by another on August 14, though none have since followed. A year later, on August 14, 2013, an announcement was posted on the White Ninja homepage stating that the series was "officially on hiatus" with an "official apology coming soon". It also stated, however, that the comic archive will remain open during the hiatus. A year after that, in August 2014, the site officially went offline and ...

Dayfree Press
Dayfree Press was an online webcomic syndicate. Each Dayfree member had a special advertisement banner on their webpage that advertised the comics of another member-site. The ad was generated at random every time the page reloaded and sometimes showed an ad for the comics that were on the same webpage. The name "Dayfree Press" was brainstormed in 1994 by Dana Darko and RStevens, as an umbrella for publishing minicomics for local distribution and mailorder. Shortly after RStevens left Dayfree to co-found dumbrella.com, Darko scoured the Internet for "the most promising new webcomics talents." In 2003, the second incarnation of Dayfree Press began at dayfreepress.com with a starting line-up of eleven established webcartoonists. Original member comics * ''Butternutsquash'' by Ramon Perez and Rob Coughler * ''Coffee Brain'' by Rob Laughter * ''Comet 7'' by David Tekiela * '' Ctrl+Alt+Del'' by Tim Buckley * ''Instant Classic'' by Brian Carroll * ''Orneryboy'' by Michael Lalonde * ...
