Revision as of 23:47, 29 March 2025
To me "Dynamic" is too flowery and abstract. I don't like this as a category, having out-of-the-ordinary, Interactive, and Large Comics categories is both more specific, and more helpful for finding like comics. Calling them Dynamic(!) sounds like a marketing term.
Now, if Randall ever comes up with a purely non-deterministic comic (something that randomly generates content for each pageview/ip address/time-of-day/geo-location/position-about-the-sun/lunar-phase I'd consider that Dynamic. However, none of the comics currently in existence are that. Umwelt comes the closest, but each one was still hand-drawn, and not absolutely non-deterministic.
