Diversity of Purpose

A tenet of webcomics frequently discussed by scholars is the freedom comic authors have in creating and outputting their content. This collection includes a variety of comics designed to demonstrate how webcomics creators have used the connective affordances of digital media to both entertain and inform. A fluid genre is a common theme among a lot of webcomics. Just as an example, Rooster Tails is a webcomic that looks to promote LGBTQ awareness, whereas Cold War is a comic that simply seeks to educate readers on historical events. With this ability to diversify, authors can criticize specific facets and groups that exist within this world, promote certain ideas, come up with philosophical ideas, or merely just entertain.
