Ever get discouraged by low numbers of readers? Well, try not to be. If your webcomic doesn’t explode with readership, that’s normal. The best thing to do is keep at it for awhile and figures things out. Some webcomics hit it big because they start out great or were at the right place at the [...]

Fun Things Going On

I Am Legend looked at Titan Sphere and wished for a little more. Webcomic Overlook ended up being a little cynical about the Oatmeal, which is probably deserved.
