Art Comics Daily is a webcomic published since March 1995 by Bebe Williams of Arlington, Virginia, USA. After Williams' comic strips were repeatedly rejected by newspaper syndicates, he brought them to the Internet where he had more artistic freedom. He saw in webcomics the possibility to earn money from advertisers or help land a job as a print cartoonist. In 1998 he described his views about online publishing to The Atlanta Journal and Constitution: "Cartoonists can show comics to an audience despite the powers-that-be at print syndicates, who are not interested in modern alternative humor. It's my belief that the print syndicates are holding back the evolution of modern dailies in general."
The Australian has described Williams' webcomics as being "strange but diverting" and having more sociocultural leanings than Doonesbury and Dilbert. The Art Comics site has also hosted webcomics by other artists.
Williams has created two other webdailies, one being the Xeric Award winner photo comic "Bobby Ruckers" and the other being "Just Ask Mr-Know-It-All". Bobby Ruckers was a comic book in which Williams used photos and art starring as the character (a superhero in a business suit).
Famous quotes containing the words art and/or daily:
“Men, my dear, are very queer animals, a mixture of horse- nervousness, ass-stubbornness, and camel-malice—with an angel bobbing about unexpectedly like the apple in the posset, and when they can do exactly as they please, they are very hard to drive.
Oh, England. Sick in head and sick in heart,
Sick in whole and every part,
And yet sicker thou art still
For thinking that thou art not ill.”
—Thomas Henry Anonymous (1825–95)
“My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
