This discussion was eye-opening for me, I'm still wondering about a powerpoint comic (exactly how that would be distributed? dunno). Maybe when DD enables customized html again we'll be able to see some more experimental comic-making again. But nothing beats traditional if it's a good comic to begin with, imo.
