A few of McCloud 's '' The Morning Improv '' webcomics have been critically praised . His October 2001 webcomic , " Brad 's Somber Mood " , combines existential despair and nihilism with references to Vladimir Nabokov and Ingmar Bergman in only 11 panels . In December 2003 , McCloud created " But No One Ever Noticed the Walrus " , which tells the story of an everyman in the form of an anthopomorphised walrus stuck in a waiting room , ignored by personnel . On the morning of the September 11 attacks , McCloud posted his '' Morning Improv '' webcomic as usual , describing it as a " tiny act of defiance . " '' The Morning Improv '' won a Web Cartoonists ' Choice Award in 2004 for the " Outstanding Use of Infinite Canvas " category . Dani Atkinson of '' Sequential Tart '' said of McCloud 's viewer participation set-up that it had an " addictive pleasure " , stating that " watching the daily rise and fall of a title in the polls has the same thrills as a horse race . " Jaideep Unudurti of '' Livemint '' stated in 2015 that McCloud 's experimental webcomics still work well over a decade later
