Exact date of your webcomic launch?

kjc's picture

If you know it, please post the exact date your comic started (and the date it ended if it has). Also, include the name of the comic plus a URL for it.

And if you know of the start (and end) date of someone else's comic who doesn't hang out here, by all means provide it.

I launched Myariland (http://www.myariland.com/) on 12 February 2006, but I drew a bit of it for my friends last year, so I included those in the archives. It's my first attempt at a webcomic, and it's turning out to be a great stress-reliever. I love it!

A Mad Tea-Party

At some point in the last two years my computer's clock went temporarily wonky. The Flash file my first update for A Mad Tea-Party was embedded in claims to have been created the first week of May 1970. Most likely it was actually created and posted online the first week of May 2004. Nobody cares what dates my other comics were first posted online, I'm sure.

Skinny Panda

Tumber Park ran from March 12, 1997 aaaall the way to May 7, 1997. At the time, the Yahoo directory for webcomics was about a page-and-a-half long. I kept submitting the strip for inclusion but they never did it.

Skinny Panda launched on October 14, 1999. It's pretty much been dying ever since.

I'm usually a very hard sell on newspaper-type strips (I'm narrow-minded), but I gotta say Skinny Panda is awesome. Bookmarked.

I posted the earliest comic

I posted the earliest comic on my site on October 7 2001. It was a one off.

One Hour Comics. Start April 30, 2002. End Sept 17, 2003

Cooking with Anne. Start Sept 27, 2003. Not done yet because I'm an indifferent updater.

Of course, I think of them all as more or less the same tuneless noodling comic thing. So for me it's Contretemps.net going from 10/7/2001 to present.

The URL is www.contretemps.net
