The Webcomic View: Recent Episodes
Aesop Artiste
This blog supports the Webcomic View podcast which provides reviews and ratings of popular webcomics. By using the Webcomic Rating System (WRS), readers are provided with a simple and easy way to learn about and begin exploring the world of webcomics.
This is a short episode. I announce a change to the Webcomic Rating System and briefly go over other quality webcomic podcasts that I think should be in your podcatcher client of choice.
Angry Zen Master
Blank Label Comics
CHERIGirl
Digital Strips
Penny Arcade

SUMMARY
Goblins
