'''''PartiallyClips''''' was a [[webcomic]], created by [[Rob Balder]], which ran from 2002 to 2015. At the start of 2010, Balder handed authorship of the comic to [[Timothy F. Crist|Tim Crist]], the comedy musician behind [[Worm Quartet]].<br />
<br />
== Premise ==<br />
''PartiallyClips'' is a [[Constrained comics|constrained comic]]. Each three-panel strip consists of a single [[clip art]] image – the comic has no original art – repeated and unchanged in each panel, with added [[speech balloon]]s and/or captions to create the joke.<br />
<br />
''PartiallyClips'' tends to use [[dark humor]]; frequently, the picture used is rather idyllic, which is common in public-domain clip art, but the added dialogue or captions twist the scene. ''PartiallyClips'' also frequently comments on modern life and culture, especially aspects of Internet culture. There are no recurring characters or plots.<br />
<br />
Its name is a [[mondegreen]]: "Partially Clips" sounds similar to "Partial [[eclipse]]".<br />
<br />

PartiallyClips was included in a 2009 short list of webcomics included in an NPR article. The article's author, [[Glen Weldon]], described it as "a combination of found art, a finely honed comic sensibility, and awesomeness run rampant."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2009/07/webcomics_a_guide_for_the_perp.html|title=Webcomics: An Annotated Guide for the Understandably Perplexed - Monkey See Blog : NPR|website=[[NPR]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090807003457/http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2009/07/webcomics_a_guide_for_the_perp.html|archive-date=7 August 2009|access-date=2009-11-09}}</ref><br />
