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:
“I said there was a society of men among us, bred up from their youth in the art of proving by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white, according as they are paid. To this society all the rest of the people are as slaves.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“The afternoon is visibly a source,
Too wide, too irised, to be more than calm,
Too much like thinking to be less than thought,
Obscurest parent, obscurest patriarch,
A daily majesty of meditation,
That comes and goes in silences of its own.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
