Strip Business
March 31st, 2009 — Strip News
This post is about 12 hours late and I’m sorry about that. I could regale you with tales of computer problems, other commitments and blah blah blah. Really, you’d be asking “Why doesn’t he just get to the point?” Done! Stop the presses. Pause, ponder and wallow for a minute in your thoughts. Not everyone [...]
Lewis's Life
March 29th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today, let’s look at Lewis’s Life by Andrew Miller. After the comic’s opening page, the second comic has the legal disclaimers built right into it. The artist warns us not to expect that this strip is made for any reader besides himself. It won’t be good and it will be both [...]

Strip Tips
March 26th, 2009 — Strip News
There may be some things we can learn from our fellow artists… Benzilla points out an interesting use of word balloons. Art in Sequence discusses how longform comics don’t have to be slow. If you’re just at the point where you need to pick a domain name for your comic, here is some help. I [...]

What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) Real Life by Greg Dean updates every weekday, ever since 1999.(Wow.) It’s filled with fun geek references to online games, movies and tv shows. There’s more, of course, with side trips to various comic convention locations and situational humor. The writing and [...]

Short and sweet, with a little punch this week… El Santo vs Kleefeld… will imdependent comics always be small-time business. Phil Foglio talks about his success with publishing material for free online. MPD57 asks about cheating at Zuda. Good question, really. Then, the very next post tells about white star invasions and more cheating. And [...]
Unity
March 22nd, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today, we’ll review Unity by Fluffy, a long form science fiction comic. The name Unity is taken from the name of the star ship that the characters (and population) find themselves on. Most of them really have no idea what’s outside Unity or how long the ship has been on its [...]

Strip Business (on hold)
March 19th, 2009 — Strip News
Short update today … I’ve been sort of ill and I’m having some computer trouble to boot. I’ll include the other business links along with Friday’s Strip Features, but I wanted to show you at least one good business idea. (It’s for anyone with a website, not just comics.) Published on ArtPatient Related PostsGet Your [...]

You all keep me very entertained with all your comic bizness… How many new comics are created and how many fail per year? That’s a good question (and my browser won’t let me comment there.) I would say most new comics stop updating within the first three months and and only about 10% make it [...]
Union of Heroes
March 15th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Union of Heroes by Arne Schulenberg and Eric Wünsche with photography by Jens Sundheim and illustration by Patrick Soeder. Union is a superheroes photo comic placed in the Ruhr Area of Germany, complete with parallel world hopping. Unfairly, the closest thing to the way this comic physically reads was a campy [...]
