[edit] UO comics

UO sprite comics have been around since 1997, possibly predating Neglected Mario Characters. UO comics were prevalent during the height of UO's popularity, such as Bones' UO comics and Imanewbie. Their popularity died out around the time of Renaissance and Third Dawn.

While I think that sprite comics might have been the natural evolution of screenshot comics, I don't think I would consider any of them to be "the first sprite comic."

[edit] Offline sprite comics

There may be examples of sprite comics in video game magazines, predating online sprite comics.

[edit] History of sprite comics

A history section could describe the evolution of sprite comics and their influence on hand drawn comics and flash animations, as well as advancements in use of image editing software. This would be a good way to reference different titles without advertising them.

[edit] Plug your website article

This article has become a "plug your website" article. I hate sprite comic artists, I was part of that community for three years.

If you hate sprite comic artists, why do you even discuss here? You are just trying to instigate a fight. Why don't you let the real spriters deal with the sprites section. "Plug your website" is not good for wiki, but maybe an archive leading to a website list would be good. Even bad sprite comics will help give browsers an example of a bad comic. Maybe you could create a page of "Plug your site" with the warning that content may be very sub-par as anyone can submit to this page. ~Regulus.

Because plugging unknown sprite comics into the middle of the article is just shameless. But there is no such word as shameless in your community. Also, I want to keep the article accurate. The way this was written was making it sound as if these random comics STARTED sprite comics.

wow someones forgetting the whole point of wikipedia

"making it sound as if these random comics STARTED sprite comics." if somethings inaccurate then change it but don't whine like a child when you don't like something.

[edit] Upcoming comic

im making a comic called sonicisms (guess who that stars) ill give you a link once ive got a website...

Is it notable in any way? If we allow a link for every sprite comic, then the page would be too cluttered. Sonic Mew | talk to me 15:50, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

--I seriously doubt that. Most of the page is just advertising and links to insignifigant comics. We should link only to the most vital to the history of sprite comics, such as NC and BnG, and those of relatively high quality, such as TPC, SAQ, KR, AMD, etc., as well as large lists such as the VFBLOSC. -Sprited Spheniscidae

--I agree. -Cheesy, cheesycomics.20m.com

[edit] First?

It says which was the first but when was the first? And how do we know it was the first? RJFJR 02:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Neglected Characters started on September 6, 1997, and there are no sprite comics that have a legitimate claim to outdate it. Eoseth 22:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
The comic itself actually started in 1998. Fjord3 16:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Is a link to Sprites INC appropriate for the article? I have doubts since it relates to sprite ripping and not sprite comics themselves. I'm going to remove it, but if anyone thinks it should be added back, please state your reasoning here. Fjord3 23:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Maybe add some pix? Neopetslovette 02:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BnG Strip.gif

Image:BnG Strip.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
