A new online art gallery, Square One, open to all web cartoonists, has officially openned.

It's been said over and over that one of the major advantages of webcomics, as opposed to those in print, is that with webcomics, it's much easier to look back through the archives, both to review the content, and see changes/improvements in the artwork. With the click of the mouse, in most cases, you can see both the first and last strip or page of the comic.

So, why not take it a step further back. Okay, a few steps. Or, more correctly, ridiculously far back.

The idea behind Square One is to display childhood drawings by webcomics artists right next to a recently redrawn version of the same scene/person/subject (in some cases, however, the drawing is simply displayed next to their most recent drawing/comic).
