Digital affordances, defined as “functional properties of objects or environments-the properties that allow particular uses”, are an aspect of webcomics that is truly unique to the platform (WOVENText 35). While webcomics themselves are a relatively new domain, the use of digital affordances has accompanied them from the beginning. Common examples of such affordances include alt-text, the infinite canvas, sound/flash animations, and user input/interactivity. This collection examines the effect of these affordances by analyzing comics that heavily employ such affordances, as well as those that stray away from their use. It includes popular comics such as Homestuck, The Oatmeal, and Dinosaur Comics to investigate how different affordances can change the perception and popularity of a comic.
