I'll be talking about Webcomics (tips, tools & how I maintained a daily pace last year) this week at BlogFest, Siem Reap, Cambodia (Nov 01-05). If you're local, come by!

Though it's banned in neighboring Vietnam, Facebook is ingrained in Cambodian youth culture.
(Especially now that it supports Khmer text.)
For many young Cambodians, the internet IS Facebook.
If it's not on Facebook, did it really happen?
Sign of the times: two years ago when I was helping high school students create a collaborative comic, they couldn't wait for us to return the next day with PDF and print versions. They already had smartphones and started posting their contributions on 'the book of faces'.
It's a world where everyone is connected in the most intricate, intimate yet banal fashion. Worthy of Borges.
(Thx Khmerbird, Global Voices!)
Super quick comic that emerged from a workshop with a rather cool assemblage of activists and advocates.
1. It's true, I kill trees to make outreach comics.
They're not Cambodian trees - all printing paper here is imported. Small solace.

3. And yep, the Cambodian internet runs on fossil fuel. Every email sends out a little fart of C02.
