Ok, so no one managed to give an idea of why one webcomic might be notable or not before I could make [[Lentil]] not suck and be full of factual errors (still has a dodgy pic but I ate all the lentils at home).
So here is the answer, having randomly clicked around the category.
Basically all the articles on individual webcomics are really bad articles. There isnt really enough to say, just lists of characters, plots etc. Occasionally there is a snippet of interesting information. They have no useful links to or from them.
However the articles on the creators are generally really good, and this is what should be concentrated on. Other stuff should be included unless it outgrows the author.
In the same way that you can write a half decent short article about a minor author (compare [[Beverley Nichols]] say), but you would never write an article about any of his books (I keep trying to un redlink them). He probably fails on any current notability criterion that you could measure, as most of the books are out of print, but no one would suggest deletion as there are links to other people and events at the time that add to WP.
Similarly I have spent ages trying to stop people writing articles about individual beers, merging them into the brewery. There are very few beers that an article can be written about. See [[Samuel Adams Utopias]] for what happens when people try (usually when they get back from the pub).
But [[Able and Baker]], Snowspinners example doesnt even have an article on the author. Its like I picked a single book by Beverly Nichols and wrote that first, listing all the characters. I would expect it to be deleted as non notable. But if I need to spin one out as the article has got too long that would be fine.

It's a good point.
This is going to date me, but 'Sounds' music newspaper used to have letters on the back - practically form letters - where 15-year-olds would write in saying "I don't see why [insert dull metal band of early 1970s now completely forgotten, eg May Blitz] don't get the credit they deserve''. Assume the staff writers weren't faking these - the problem was you could never work out from the letters why anyone would ever want to listen to the band.
