Better Tomorrow Challenges

Webcomics: First free webcomic (that has existed online for at least five years) to always show its...

...last panel in a strip on a second webpage that loads at the same time as the first webpage that contains the first part of the webcomic. A button at the end of the first part instantly takes the reader to the second part. [Webcomics can use the Internet to make them better than newspaper comics. One way is to conceal the punchline and its usual accompanying sight gag from readers until the reader clicks on the button to see it.] To win this challenge, the webcomic must operate this way for at least a year.

[Side Trivia: As part of his morning routine (and to put himself in a good mood for the day), Jack Decker, BTC's creator, regularly reads the following webcomics: Gunnerkrigg Court (a steampunk Hogwarts and one of the most beautifully illustrated comics on the net), Magellan (boarding school for superhero teenagers but with a non-superpowered teenage girl as the central character [think teenage female still-in-training Batman minus the wealth and connections]), The Order of the Stick (hilarious but you need to understand role-playing to get most of the jokes), PvP (gamer humor ... however, if you click here, you'll read a great non-gamer story), Questionable Content (adult content, funny, characters that grow on you, and the artwork improves over time), and Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (adult content, very funny, and takes the viewpoint of the evil monsters). If you would like to find a webcomic that fits your tastes, a great place to start your search is Belfry Webcomic Index.]
