Cartoon Central

Cartoon Central thinks the Internet it vital to reading comics.

I think the “accessibility” question is more of a problem in principle than in practice; between Google, DCUGuide, Spoilt!, and Newsarama’s various recaps, not to mention the local know-it-alls at your local comic shop or message board of choice, there are enough resources to help you figure out what’s going on in any given comic. It’s just a matter of whether you consider web surfing to be an appropriate part of the comic-reading experience, and whether the comic makes you interested enough to do so.
