This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

This page in a nutshell: Webcomics are not reliable sources, and do not establish notability. Therefore, they should be used minimally for citations. |
Wikipedia is grounded in reliable, third-party sources.[2] Webcomics are not such sources. Webcomic characters aren't "noted experts" of the fiction they live in.[3] The author is a poor judge of what is important when it comes to their own work.[citation needed] Webcomics themselves – the website and its pages – are no good as sources.
The image descriptions show what not to do.
