Silly Daddy's 500th Cartoon by Joe Chiapetta
Wednesday Web-Comic: Silly Daddy
I received these interesting facts about "Silly Daddy" via Geek-mail:
"1) Silly Daddy is one of the oldest autobiographical comics still releasing new material. It's... the longest running autobiographical comic about family by a father.
"2) While the all-ages webcomics are drawn on a variety of media, Chiappetta is one of the only cartoonists to regularly complete comics on a Pocket PC.
"3) Many of these web-comics (74) were created entirely on a mobile phone. Chiappetta is the first cartoonist to pioneer in this field of phone-made web-comics, calling it "telephonics."
"4) The Silly Daddy website is one of the few cartoonist sites wherein all the comics are fully accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. Every web-comic posted has a described narrative that assistive technology software (such as JAWS or ZoomText) can read to the viewer."
Anyone who is a fan of web-comics knows what an arduous process creating them can be. It's something akin to running a marathon that doesn't have a finish line, so milestones like this one are things worth noting and celebrating.
So congratulations to Joe Chiapetta for Silly Daddy and here's to the next 500!
