I love online cartoons. I’ve always been a fan of penny-arcade, pvponline and userfriendly. Since offline media began, monks have been scribing illustrations in margins and the newspaper cartoonist has been an institution in expressing the zeitgeist. Now several web2.0 startups like such as Toondo and Pixton let you create your own.

I like Toonlet which is so straightforward but allows for some cool looking comics. Here’s one I created earlier:

Especially cool is how Toonlet allows you to create a comic as a coment on another comic. It’s conversational media, expressed through cartoons!

I admit I picked this up through Dion Almaer’s blog. He has created some really good technie cartoons. This one is especially for Damien Tanner over at New Bamboo.
