Live Action Webcomics

Hello. My name is Justin Evans and I am new to Comixpedia. I am curious about people's thoughts towards the concept of a live action webcomic such as Caution Man; Safety Knight (Link).

And I don't mean, pictures of godzilla toys and legos, but ones done with actual live humans. Are there even that many live action webcomics? Or are we the "only one"?

There's a few more round there, not a lot, but more than ascii comics anyway (o^.-)o

I saw your comic a while ago (Megatokyo ad) and is really funny, but really, how many times have people called the police after seeing you around "making" the comic?

Surprisingly no arrest attempts have been made. Episode 4 largely took place across the street from a police station.

I don't know if he was inspired by your site at all, but someone on our website just started a live action comic called Purgatory. Caution Man is much funnier, though. :D

Cartoonists often reference live action photos when drawing a comic character's expression or pose. Do live action comic performers reference cartoon drawings to get just the right expression or pose?

hahaha. What a unique concept. I want some live comics. But I hear it's too much of a strain on the cartoonists wrists ;)

Hehehe, I could see that happen. In fact Lick My Jesus looks like they try to use over used poses.
