The premise of the action-adventure ‘buddy comedy’ is a simple one: take two wildly different personalities that would otherwise not get along, and put them in a situation where the plot forces them to. Hijinks, hilarity, and explosions ensue.
The 3 Second Rule, a webcomic by Jason Loo and Arthur Dela Cruz, is not your typical buddy comedy.
When sometime-superheroes get somewhat autobiographical…
When the combined comics of one creative Calgarian threaten to overwhelm the humble corner of the interweb that they occupy…
One name resounds clearly amidst the din. (the din?)
Damian Willcox is… dorkboy.

Who would you have by your side in a Zombie Apocalypse? If I had a choice, I’d choose Jenny Romanchuk. And not just because she has a cool hat. Although she does have a cool hat.
This week The Fabler Blog chats up Eric Vedder, creator of the Transmission X webcomic Aardehn and penciler for Udon Comics.
Eric aka Ved! aka The World’s Greatest Detective was more than willing to divulge critical info about his experience working on Darkstalkers, his influences with the webcomic Aardehn, and how posting an update to his webcomic predominantly featuring probing tentacles made him uneasy (also the reasoning behind why he posted it anyway).
This week we chat with Ben Steeves, artist on Our Time in Eden – an ongoing online graphic novel written by Gibson Twist, who we profiled on the site last month.
Steeves is also the author and artist of Zom-Ben, a webcomic featuring the adventures of a comic-illustrator-turned-zombie-superhero. We chat about early 90’s comic book trading cards, innocence lost, and the walking dead. Which sounds suspiciously like my 14th birthday.
Gibson Twist is an eloquent fellow who writes comic books for online distribution. Sometimes, as with Pictures of You, he also illustrates them.
You should probably get to know Gibson a bit better. Luckily for you, this happens to be a post profiling him. What chance! What fortune! What stroke of fate!… etc.
Really though, Gibson is a pretty darn rad artist/writer, and you would be remiss not to check out his work.
Another featured Fabler! New Zealander Andrew Johnson chatted with the Fabler about his work in comics, with a specific focus on his web-based comic about a future dystopia, Kingdom.
Kevin D interviews Alison Acton, creator of the fabulously perverse (yet still, at times, oddly touching) webcomic Bear Nuts.
Every possible topic under the moon is covered, except for topics that aren’t about Bear Nuts, Alison’s own Dooomcat Studios, her manga illustration on The Faerie Path, and motherhood. Oh, and Jiu Jitsu. That’s also covered.
This post is for those who, like me, leave all to most of their holiday shopping until December. We at the Fabler relate to your last-minute shopping stresses, and, in an attempt to make your life easier, have come up with some suggestions for gift ideas for comic fans.
Really, these are all great gift ideas for anyone, regardless of how ‘into’ comics they are already. It should be noted that this x-mas shopping list, like much of the rest of the Fabler Blog, has a distinct emphasis on Canuck content.
Hi Everyone! It’s me again. I’d like to take a few minutes to give everyone an update on what’s in store for our little comics community. As I’ve iterated a few times in my previous blog posts, we are working on building more than a web comics social portal. So I’m here to let you [...]
