The Wotch is a webcomic by "Anne Onymous" an "Robin Ericson". The first daily page appeared on November 21, 2002. The comic has a simple cartoon style. Its plots are clearly influenced by manga, particularly Ranma ½ by Rumiko Takahashi, while the mixture of humour and drama is reminiscent of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which is occasionally referenced explicitly) and Jeff Smith's Bone. The comic is season-based, with about 9 issues a season.
