Webcomics: Now that Google Maps is all the rage for making design portfolios, webcomics pioneer Scott McCloud has suggested that creators try using it as a canvas, which is a great idea. Reading McCloud's blog is highly recommended for the times when you're feeling bored and cynical about comics -- his sense of wonder and imagination is infectious. Please also enjoy his incredibly refreshing take on why reviews are useful for creators -- even the bad ones:

For myself, I always consider reviews useful-even the hatchet jobs. It makes my heart sink a little when I hear other artists dismiss all reviews as irrelevant to their process. A common claim is that reviews tell us "only about the reviewer" and tell us "nothing about the work," but I disagree. Yes, reviewers have biases. Yes, they miss the point sometimes. But there's always some kind of information embedded in any reaction to any creative effort.
