The best comics site out there, The Nib, is changing focus
The Nib is the best comics site out there, with new comics every day from some of the greatest cartoonists working.

A whole generation of incisive non-fiction cartoonists, given a paying platform to work for.
Unfortunately, it's not going to be around in the same form any more.
