WarRock talks a lot about how this ode to Johnny Wander<\/a> came about. Johnny Wander is a webcomic we encountered through AppleGeeks <\/a>writer, Ananth<\/a>‘s Twitter. Once discovered, it didn’t take long to read through the entire series from beginning to end. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and 50 minutes later, I looked around and realized that I had read the whole book, and was laughing to myself in the corner. By myself. Like a crazy person. But more importantly, I realized that I had been smiling more than laughing<\/a>. Think about it, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a hard thing for a comic, especially one that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not necessarily a continuous story arc, to accomplish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s right. It is very nice to come across a webcomic that has this effect.<\/p>\n
