The first online comic was Eric Millikin's Witches and Stitches, an unauthorized Wizard of Oz parody comic which was published on CompuServe in 1985.[1][2] It was followed by T.H.E. Fox, a furry comic strip by Joe Ekaitis which was published on CompuServe and Quantum Link in 1986.[3]

Other online comics followed in the early '90s. Hans Bjordahl's college-themed comic strip Where the Buffalo Roam was published on FTP and usenet in 1991,[4] and David Farley's single-panel gag cartoon Doctor Fun was published on the web in September 1993.[5] Stafford Huyler's stick figure comic NetBoy began publishing on the web in the summer of 1994[6] and NetComics Weekly from Finnish Comics Society was started in mid-1994.[7] Among the longest-running webcomics, some of which are still being published, are Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan (a Dutch comic that started in November 1994) The Polymer City Chronicles (March 1995),[8] Art Comics Daily (March 1995), Argon Zark! (June 1995), Kevin and Kell (September 1995), Slow Wave (November 1995), and Eric Millikin (Fall 1995). The term "webcomics" was used as early as April 1995.[9][10]
