What in the world? Confused
I guess you can make a manga of practically anything. Do they plan on selling this?

Scott McCloud? You partnered up with Google Chrome? How could you? Y...you...scoundrel...

I'd tear you apart if it wasn't for that soothing picture of Allen Walker on the right side of the page. Tomorrow, you might not be so lucky.

Expect Goggle Chrome manga jerking up with Mozilla FireFox and Microsoft IE.

I much prefer the OS-tans being used in anime or manga rather than this.

But heck, this is mostly advertising.

I actually thought that the first comic book, the one by Mr. McCloud, was pretty good.

This strikes me as ironic because Chrome's support for Japanese fonts is terrible.

EVERYTHING's support for Japanese character encoding is terrible, because so many websites fail at setting their header flags or meta tags correctly. There's no way to tell if a page is Shift JIS or EUC-JP except for looking at it and manually switching encodings if it's wrong.

This is pathetic. And I can't believe that this is being reported.
