Webcomic

Webcomics (also known as online comics or Internet comics) are comics published on the internet, such as on a website or a mobile app. While many webcomics are published exclusively online, 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 most widely read have audiences of well over one million readers.^[1]^[2]^[3] Webcomics range from traditional comic strips and graphic novels to avant garde comics, and cover many genres, styles, and subjects.^[4] They sometimes take on the role of a comic blog.^[5] The term web cartoonist is sometimes used to refer to someone who creates webcomics.
