In the section "Behind the Scenes" you can find some details about the way they do it. Check the gallery too, there are screenshots about it.

I didn't think Blender currently allowed a mix of the 2d look with black outlines with a non outlined 3d background … unless the background was rendered separately ?

Do you remember 'Hackers' with Jonny Lee Miller and Anelina Jolie? I don't know why but this comic reminds me that movie ;)

Its a nice style but the comic is lame, I mean, you are desperatly trying to stablish the geekness of your character just by sticking words like kernel or freebsd.. nobody talks about the kernel all the time without a reason. It feels like "look at me Im a haxor"…. dunno

A bit more cel-shading on the foreground might help it stand out. Maybe a more flat coloring.
The biggest problem with the comic, though, lies with the dialogue. I gather the writer is not a native English speaker — the dialogue comes off kind of stilted and unnatural. If the comic's not been done already as Lancer suggests, it might be a good idea to get a native English speaker to rework the lines, to improve the flow and timing.

That's a lot of padding & promotion for just one page of comic. Am I right in understanding that the comic has already been made over the last two years and now they are drip feeding it online? If so, they should perhaps think about showcasing half a dozen episodes for a proper release; hit the ground running.

Qualitywise, I would say the background renders don't contrast enough versus the foreground. They should make the foreground items better lit against a darker background (or vice versa) to make them stand out. Right now they kind of muddy into each other and it's hard to see.

Nice to see the marriage of all those Open Source apps. Would be useful for inspiring other students who can't afford commercial alternatives.

lol… he reminds me of me… I'm a high school student who programs in C++, Java, and Python, I dual booted my machine with Ubuntu, and blend loads…
