The topic I plan to use for Project #2 is different approaches to creating webcomics out of everyday life stories. The three websites I have in mind are as follows:
Questionable Content (it's semi SFW, don't worry)
Girls with Slingshots
PHD Comics
Johnny Wander
Hyperbole and a Half
The key strategic differences I note thus far in my texts are style of layout and comic construction, base story line, basis of characters, and target audience. The similarities include genre, medium, general unintended audience, and sequence.
I think these similarities exist because they are all web comics based loosely off of the genre 'everyday life stories'. The differences vary depending on what the life stories are about. Pretty straight forward. Also I have a ton of homework to do, so I don't have much time to look at this right now.

Great idea! I think how narrow you have you topic is a good thing and will help out a lot. Your sites seem low key as in, they are not made by a profession company. This will make a good comparison of the sites.
I like this idea. I always end up seeing these when I Stumble. Since you already have 5 texts that fit your topic well you seem on track. Do you think you'll fashion your analysis in the form of a comic, that might be kind of funny... Even though it says you were really busy with other homework, the topic is very refined and doable!
Yay. I will probably have a comic on the page, but I don't know about doing the WHOLE thing in comic format...though that might be less elaborate than my original plan. We'll see.
As I mentioned in class, you're definitely on the right track for this assignment and I'm looking really forward to reading/viewing it! You're also already pulling in terms from the readings (rhetorical situation, modes, and ix terms) so...well done! Keep on keepin' on.
