I really like this.

I've talked about Matthew Inman before. He is the creator of The Oatmeal, a fantastic website full of comics, education, and fun little quizes. I've been experimenting with different kinds of webcomic "medium." There's of course the random humor of Chainsaw Suit, the pop-culture humor of Penny Arcade, or a mix from both at The Oatmeal.

The thing about Chainsaw Suit is that the creator, Kris Straub, already had a successful series based webcomic when he started chainsaw suit. For Straub, I see Chainsaw Suit as an outlet to just have fun. He does so much random stuff, mostly to entertain himself and everyone else who gets the jokes.

At Penny Arcade, they talk about mostly video games and violence which appeals to a certain audience. I've talk before about how they do what they do, so I won't go into much detail.

Then you have The Oatmeal. The thing I like about his is that he isn't restricted to a panel count or a specific humor or subject matter. He will touch on anything and everything you'll never think of. He doesn't have a certain day he has to release things by which lets his creative juices flow. His freedom allows him to create things that are some of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet. That's something I wish to achieve.

So in my next experiment with webcomic medium, my goal is to make a The Oatmeal-esc comic. The problem is trying to come up with an idea. I don't know how he does it. Like "How to Ride a Pony," or "4 Reasons to Carry a Shovel with You at all Times." I want to know what goes through Inman's head...
