Today’s the launch of WaynoVision, an online strip on GoComics by veteran comics artist Wayno.
Here’s the first installment, an irreverent take on your favorite web-slinging superhero.
GoComics is part of the Universal Uclick syndicate, whose roster of comics includes everything from Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes to Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine.
WaynoVision will run weekly, but for this first week it will be daily.
Wayno’s distinctively witty, often wacky work has already had national and even international exposure, with illustrations for The New Yorker, Nickolodeon Magazine, Rhino Records, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times and Great Britain’s The Guardian. He’s also known as a gag-writer and sometime fill-in for Bizarro cartoonist Dan Piraro.
GoComics should only expand his growing comics empire.
The launch of WaynoVision comes in advance of this Friday’s opening reception for Dave Klug & Friends, a group show at Panza Gallery featuring Klug, Wayno and other local comics talents.

This is the kind of thing that makes Pittsburgh great – creative and talented community members. Pay attention, fluff pieces and “top ten” lists. Huge congrats and props to the artist.
