| 1 | '''''Palindramas''''' is a webcomic (currently on hiatus since spring of 2009) written and drawn by Dan Mazur. The premise was to create a palindrome (a word or phrase in which the letters are in the same order backwards and forwards), then draw a cartoon illustrating it. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The episodes vary in length from single-panel cartoons to multi-page strips. Some comics have a palindrome as a caption describing the scene; others have the story build up to a palindromic punch line; in a few cases, the entire dialogue forms one big palindrome. |

| 5 | Several strips feature guest art by [[Tropers/{{Eddurd}} Ed Gedeon]], creator of ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes''. |

| 7 | After the demise of Webcomics Nation, a large part of the comic is currently unavailable. It appears that on the Website/WaybackMachine, only the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090426073611/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/danmazur/palindramas/series.php very last comic posted]] shows up as a non-broken image. However, a handful of them can be found on Dan Mazur's Website/LiveJournal starting [[http://danmazur.livejournal.com/8233.html here]] and seven comics can be found on his site [[http://www.danmazurcomics.com/read-my-comics/palindramas/ here]]. |
