I am interested to see a correlation (if one exists) between music and webcomics. For example, for those who have your own webcomics, does music influence your creations? Did you name a storyline after a specific song, do you write your own music to correspond with your comic? Do you have a specific soundtrack or collection of songs that matches your comic?

What I would love to see is any visitors to comment on this post with their comic and some explanation on how music relates to it. I’ll compile some of the best answers into a post in the future. You can cover everything from a track listing to why a certain song inspires you.

If you’re going to write a lot more than would fit comfortably in the comment field, please feel free to shoot us an e-mail, as we’d love to hear what you have to say.

I’ll try to get some of The Scienteers to mention some of their songs as well!

No, I’m not talking about what people generally would talk about when it comes to Zuda, how they select comics to run on the site, the current rotation of comics seeking attention, or any of those types of things. No. I am going to rant about the technical aspects of the site and why their comic-browser is killing my interest in their site.

I don’t think there is nearly enough criticism of Zuda’s method for displaying comics. The flash player is absolutely terrible and kind of implies that the people behind it have no idea how important usability and simple navigation is to a webcomic site. Why is the webcomic site model virtually unchanged across so many webcomics? It’s because it’s a good model, functional, and the best we have. Zuda’s method is totally against what webcomics should be.

1. Go on, pitch Theater Hopper to our readers.
   Theater Hopper is the Internet’s longest-running movie-themed webcomic and it’s all about making fun of the newest releases from the audience perspective – what people really think about the plots of big movies and small independent features, the movie-going experience, celebrity worship – the whole nine yards. All fertile ground for comedy! (more…)
