L Neil Smith is doing webcomics???
Huh. Depending on the ratio of plot/soapboxing, this could be pretty good…
(Yes, I dislike too-obvious soapboxing even when it’s soapboxing I generally agree with. As someone said, “If you want to send a message, use Western Union”. Good soapboxing should flow organically from the plot and only very occasionally be lampshaded. I daresay Vinge’s “A Deepness In The Sky” did more to actually sell the value of libertarian ideals than Smith’s “The Reality Broach” did, as the latter pretty much just preached to the choir and the former may have gotten some knee-jerk lefties in the sci-fi community to really THINK a little about the reality that underlies such pretty words as “service” and “community”. )
