The first comics released on the Internet were Eric Millikin's Witches and Stitches in 1985. Early web comics were often derived from college newspapers, but as the web became more prevalent in the mid-1990s, more people started making comics. By the year 2000, various web comic creators were financially successful, and web comics were further recognized artistically.
