"Eric Burns is an established writer on
webcomics who has a history of
published writing in comics, short fiction, role-playing games,
magazines, and poetry. He is a columnist for Comixpedia and an
occasional writer for the Webcomics Examiner, and runs his own
comic-oriented blog, Websnark."
I note from his Wikipedia article that he holds a BA Cum Laude in
English Literature. He worked on games and publications for Steve
Jackson Games. So he has a lot more qualifications to write about
writing than just being a blogger.
* d, nn, never heard of him myself, webcomics aren't encyclopedic,
here's some tortured justifications that I think sound better - ~~~~
Assuming that's directed at me, then I'm not sure what the statement
"webcomics aren't encyclopedic" is meant to mean. I've never argued
such, in fact I've argued the exact opposite. I've even cited sources
which I hold to be better than Burns' blog, either peer reviewed
journals or reputable print based publications which employ fact
checkers and publish corrections and retractions. Still, I'm interested
in hearing the tortured justifications you present for continuing to
attack me.
