Webcomics Weekly: Versus

Posted on by

Welcome to Graphic Policy’s spotlight on webcomics, where we take a look at one of the many comics available online every Monday: Webcomics Weekly (but don’t be fooled by the “weekly” part of the title; the feature may happen more or less frequently than that). We’re defining webcomics as any comics published online for free consumption by the general public that doesn’t require a  subscription service.

This week we’re taking a look at Versus. The strip is created by Robert White, who was kind enough to answer a few questions for us about the webcomic below.

Graphic Policy: In a nutshell, can you tell us what the strip’s about?

Robert White: Versus takes genre types or types of people and pits them against each other in humorous, single panel gag strip ‘battles’.

GP: How often do you update?

RW: Five times a week, Monday to Friday.

GP: How long have you been producing the strip?

RW: Must be about six years now

GP: Where did the idea for the strip come from?

RW: It was back when zombies started becoming popular again: lots of movies, comics and games were doing ‘_________ versus Zombies’ type of stuff and I came up with my own: Pirates Versus Zombies. I wasn’t sure what to do with the idea at first but eventually decided to make up a poster in the style of the sort you’d see for boxing matches. It was whilst making that, that I came up with other ‘versus’ battles and decided to make it into a series. The style of the strips has obviously changed somewhat over the years, but the core idea of taking different genre types and putting them together in an off the wall battle was born from that initial ‘Pirates Versus Zombies’ poster.

Why it’s awesome: This site is a fantastic quick-hit laugh. Check it out each morning while you’re making your coffee, or you have a spare minute or three to read through the archives – whether that’s just clicking randomly on different days (which is what I did for the two sample strips below), or by methodically going through one at a time.

There’s absolutely no reason for you not to be reading this page.

Below you’ll find two strips that were originally posted to the site, the first from November 24th, 2014…fanboysvssportsfans.jpg

….and the second from August 1st of 2016
