On the Line ran for a year between 1995 and 1996 in the Guardian. It was designed to resemble a newspaper strip in format - four panels, a gag of sorts - and was sponsored by Compuserve, who were persuading newbies (in those days of the internet's infancy, that was pretty much everyone) to sign up for this revolutionary new invention everyone was reading about. Rian Hughes, artist, and Rick Wright, writer, were commissioned to create the 50 or so strips making light of the internet experience, and finally all of them are printed in one place.
