Clickwheel is a free service offered for webcomics allowing comic creators to provide their comics to their viewers to be copied to an iPod. The service is operated from the United Kingdom and allows people to "subscribe" to the syndicated releases of their favorite webcomic. Although Clickwheel's primary objective is "getting comics on iPods" via traditional image file formats, the company has taken advantage of the Apple iTunes delivery portal by releasing comics as mp4 movie files, and as pdf files.[505] The move to mp4 movie files further tests the boundaries of what is a comic, and what is animation, while the pdf files move webcomic delivery to the desktop computer as well.[506]

The Clickwheel setup also allows users to set up their subscriptions to include their music playing over the comic.

Clickwheel was featured during a panel at Comic-Con International 2006, the comic industry's largest yearly convention in the US. The panel, entitled "Clickwheel: Comics for Your iPod," discussed "the possibilities of comics for handheld media, digital delivery, and where to find comics for your shiny new gadgets." [507]
