History Webcomic / ComMedia

A work-in-progress webcomic made by Tropers/MasterJayAM, [[WriteWhatYouKnow who happened to be a mass communications major]], the series focuses on the AnthropomorphicPersonifications of media channels, drawing story lines and gags from the history of the media and the real-life relationships and issues faced by media practitioners today. A series with [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters over 30 characters]] representing a media format or an associated technology or industry. A partial list is available [[http://joeabuy1000.deviantart.com/#/d4oie1b here]].

The name is a contraction of Communication Media and a reference to the CommediaDellArte, a type of play during the Renaissance. It may also have something to do with the humorous intention of the comic.

Its premise is loosely inspired by Manga/AxisPowersHetalia and other similar comics. It is heavily influenced by the author's own time spent at [[TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife TV Tropes]]. [[FollowTheLeader The author wanted to give]] AnthropomorphicPersonifications a shot and looked for one that the people at DeviantArt haven't already tried.

It can be found [[http://joeabuy1000.deviantart.com/gallery/25951077 here.]] The majority of the tropes present are [[AllThereInTheManual available on the profiles and sketches.]] Now has a WIP [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/ComMedia character sheet]]

* ArtShift: Constantly. I haven't exactly been consistent with a style yet; moreover, I cannot decide whether to ink it like I usually do or go for a more sketchy style. It's pretty clear that I'm still learning photoshop, too; many of the strips are just line art. The first page and second page have this in spades.

[[WriteWhatYouKnow I'm also a mass communications graduate]], so when the search for anthropomorphic media yielded nothing, I went crazy.).

As you can see, there's an overlap with some Media formats and technologies that can fit more than two categories.

* The Digitals: Internet, Computer Technology, Arpanet, Podcast, Intranet, Video Games

* The Spatials: Art and Music.

* HollywoodNerd: Literature and his son, Comics.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Most of the media channels invented prior to the 19th Century have this. Comic is an egregious offender; he looks like an EmoTeen, but is physically in his 20s and is older that Television.
* PrimaDonnaDirector: Cinema and Theatre.
* ReallyGetsAround: Art, portrayed as a lovely but somewhat uncouth bohemian woman, really gets around a lot.
** MyGirlIsASlut: Her main love interests, Theatre and Cinema, don't seem to hold it against her.

* [[Adorkable]]: Many of the characters, including Print Journalism, Photography, and Internet.

* Bishounen: Television and Literature, perhaps Cinema and Comics. Lit is a CoolOldGuy that's [[Really700YearsOld extremely old]]
* CampStraight: Theatre, mainly because Art is a woman.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Advertising. TV has shades of this as well.
* CoolOldGuy: Literature
* DifferentAsNightAndDay: There are blood siblings in this series of media channels that share a common history or technology. Therefore their differences are TruthInTelevision:
** The Film Siblings (Cinema and Photography); one likes movement, the other stillness. although they're amicable, they're not close.
** The Prints (Literature and Print Journalism)
* ExecutiveMeddling: The source of many gags in this series. TV tends to embody this the most.
