Doctor Fun
''Doctor Fun'' was a webcomic by David Farley, which ran from September 24, 1993 to June 9, 2006. It may have been the first popular episodic World Wide Web comic strip.〔HTML is only one method of electronic distribution. "Readers know how to find "Fun"". Chapel Hill Herald. December 17, 2000. Pg. 9. "We thought that "Doctor Fun" might have been the first Web cartoon as well, but Farley pointed out that the honor of being first goes to a cartoon called "Where the Buffalo Roam" by Hans Bjordahl."〕 It was preceded by ''Witches and Stitches'' which was distributed via CompuServe in 1985, and ''Where the Buffalo Roam'' which was distributed via Usenet in 1991.〔Stratton, Erik. "A Brief History of Webcomics". The Rutgers Review, Vol. 40, Issue 1, Page 15〕 ''Dr. Funs appearance on the World Wide Web was noted by the NCSA, creator of the Mosaic web browser, as "a major breakthrough for the Web" in 1993.〔(What's New: September, 1993 ), Mosaic Communications Corporation.〕
Most often compared to ''The Far Side'', ''Doctor Fun'' was a series of bizarre one-panel gags. Topics range from the mundane to the obscure. Farley reported that, based on the email he received, most readers were of a similar age to him and worked with computers, but that there were also a "disproportionate amount" of nurses.〔(The Story of Doctor Fun ), ibiblio.org〕
In 1995, ''Doctor Fun'' became part of United Media's Web site.〔Astor, David. "Web site cartoonist is signed by United". Editor & Publisher Magazine. July 8, 1995. Pg. 33.〕 By 2003, Farley's contract with United Media had "fallen through."〔Dyrness, Christina. "The wide, WILD world of IBIBLIO". News & Observer. March 13, 2003. Pg. F1.〕
Farley stated that he "hope() to be allowed to continue ''Doctor Fun'' after the superintelligent robots have taken over and made us all their slaves," or for 520 weeks.〔 On June 9, 2006, after posting the final comic of his 520th week, he announced on the ''Doctor Fun'' page that "Doctor Fun is over," concluding the series.〔(The Doctor Fun Page ), ibiblio.org〕
