The term “webcomics” is often used interchangeably with terms such as “digital comics,” “online comics,” and “internet comics” although “digital comics” is sometimes used as an umbrella term that refers to all different digitally produced and distributed forms, including CD-ROM comics and mobile comics. But more strictly it refers to comics that are specifically created for and published/released on a computer platform. “Webcomics” generally means comics published on a website. Various forms and different kinds of content make categories provisional, and the way terms are used changes over time. It is always difficult to define terms, and this remains true for the many forms of graphic narrative. Features The Webtoon: A New Form for Graphic Narrative

What about Hugh Fraser’s performance did you like?
