ITT inspirational /i/-drawn covers to various chapters of the "anon" story.
Just to get the creative idea going, make something look epic, and ideas will kind of flow in. I'll be honest, I've thought of this idea last year.
The story would be sort of an technological-allegory of the internet, in which the internet is represented as a sort of alternate world with its own rules.
The thing you have to do to make this a story and not a fucking circlejerk is to focus on the plot first, how you'll introduce all the elements that will come into play later at the beginning, and how to make sure the reader understands and enjoys the story.
If you've ever read El goonish Shive, that is pretty much the polar opposite of everything you should do for the comic. Don't pull things out of your ass, introduce them subtly in the beginning, say, if there is a celebrity figure within society in the story, put his name on signs, ads, newspapers in the comic. You'll make little note of it at first, but when he pops up, you'll remember that his name was frequently inserted.
The more important thing is to avoid inserting random memes, references, and inside jokes unless you're going to make sense of it, because its stupid. Yes, its funny to us, but you have to make it interesting for someone who hasn't ever heard of 4chan, and as wierd as it sounds, you can turn any meme or inside joke from 4chan into something funny if you make the joke "inside" to the story, so that the circle of people who get the joke are going to be the ones who read it.
