long running webcomics are so great for witnessing an artist get their feet under them and figure out their voice and what they intend to say. xkcd was one of like forty webcomics i kept up with on the daily as a teen, not including my own weekly comic. any discipline will show growth but webcomics especially you get to see the author's "best" jump and plateau and jump, often over long enough periods of time that it's just not worth the time to rework the early stuff to match the later stuff. I sometimes wish I'd kept up with mine for that reason, but it is what it is.

The Great American writers are a big empty shelf in my library. I look forward to learning alongside you!
