ButThe Infinite Corpse\u00a0is not a book, and will never be a printed book, because of the second inspiration; Scott McCloud&#8217;s idea &#8220;the infinite canvas.&#8221; The idea that an online comic does not have to obey any conventional page restrictions. Many webcomics could conceivably find a home in a printed book. The Infinite Corpse is meant to be at home online with no boundaries, and grow like a balloon filling up with stories like twine.
