Webcomics that are independently published are not subject to the content restrictions of book publishers or newspaper syndicates, enjoying an artistic freedom similar to underground and alternative comics. However, it is also common for some artists to use traditional styles, similar to those typically published in newspapers or comic books. Pixel art, such as that created by Richard Stevens of Diesel Sweeties, is similar to that of sprite comics but instead uses low-resolution images created by the artist themself. As in the constrained comics tradition, a few webcomics, such as Dinosaur Comics by Ryan North, are created with most strips having art copied exactly from one (or a handful of) template comics and only the text changing. A Softer World, for example, is made by overlaying photographs with strips of typewriter-style text. Clip art or photo comics (also known as fumetti) are two types of webcomics that do not use traditional artwork. The creative freedom webcomics provide allows artists to work in nontraditional styles. With webcomics the restrictions of traditional books, newspapers or magazines can be lifted, allowing artists and writers to take advantage of the web's unique capabilities. There are several differences between webcomics and print comics. The themes of webcomics like Eric Millikin's have caused controversy.
