Corner on Main
21 05 2008 
Corner on Main is a non-linear interactive webcomic. I wanted to take a single block of about 15 minutes, and tell many different stories that all happen in that same short period of time. The comic’s title is that of the convenience store around which all the stories take place; one vignette is from the perspective of the shop clerk, another is from some of the customers in the store, and so forth. On each page in any given character’s story track, background characters are clickable, and doing so will take the reader to that person’s story track, picking up at the exact point in time that they left the first person’s story.
The experience of reading Corner on Main utilizes some of the unique capabilities of webcomics, and cannot be reproduced in print form. By interlinking all the stories on the web, it creates thousands of potential ways to read Corner on Main, none of which need to be remotely linear.
