First, an important note for everyone to remember:
A few Ireland Information Guide users have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Comic strips. The notes below were initially based on those for Ireland Information Guide:WikiProject Television These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

WikiProject Comic strips
This WikiProject aims primarily to normalize the standards for all the Comic strip articles in Ireland Information Guide including newspaper strips and those published in comic books or collected in graphic novels or collections - many of these comics have after all been published in multiple different formats.
The comics published in UK, France and many other countries which each week contained a new section of a number of different ongoing stories (e.g. the Beano, Metal Hurlant, 2000AD) should in general have a separate page from each of the stories, with appropriate links.
Similarily Editors, artists or publishers associated with many different comics (e.g. Stan Lee, Marvel, Alan Moore) can have a separate page from the stories. Authors who are associated with one comic (e.g. Scott Adams and Dilbert) may not need a separate page.
The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Arts and Humanities.
No descendant WikiProjects have been defined.
The similar WikiProjects are WikiProject Novels and WikiProject Entertainment.
Introduction contains premise, basic information. Include author, dates, publisher.
This section should only be relatively brief, only discussing important plot elements that steered the course of characters lives, or the course of the show, or at least were popular with audiences (e.g. ??).
Don't discuss every episode unless necessary, and avoid discussing issues/developments in a rigid episode by episode format, if a more free-form plot-arc description would be more appropriate.
For story arcs where 500 words or more can be written, without stretching things out, seperate articles may be appropriate.
If the show created a craze, popularized a word (example?)(Tubular,Awesome,Dude-TMNT?), revolutionized the medium (example?), or something else (example?).
Preferably from major syndicates (Associated Press, REUTERS, Canadian Press) and major newspapers (USA Today, The Toronto Star, The Times [London]) and major periodicals (TV Guide, TIME), these quotes can either critique the show, or comment on its impact. They should not just be descriptions of the shows, and preferably should not exceed three or so sentences.
Any behind the scenes information is encouraged.
