Just a little motivational speaking from the Godin… it might be useful to apply this to comic creating 1. Remember the only limits you have are time and opportunity. 2. FInd your hungry fans. 3. Free comics can help spread the word about your comic. However, price is a signal about quality. Find a way [...] The Webcomic Factory Launches “I Hate My Kids”

Comic Transcripts
May 21st, 2011 — comic
You might think that a comic transcript is a waste of time. Really, the text is right there and plain to see in the comic. Most of us might not want to waste screen real estate on something that duplicates what we can already see. However, some readers have visual difficulties and a transcript can [...] Dubious Inspiration for Modern Comics

Color synesthesia puts an interesting spin on comics. Some of us see black and white comics in color and it may affect up to 1 in 200 of [...] Webcomic Quality
May 9th, 2011 — Grab Bag
Erick Larson savaged webcomics – mostly by saying that there is a lot of webcomics of questionable quality. Well, I can state for a fact that there are a lot of print comics of questionable quality, too. There are far less print comics than webcomics, of course, but the principle remains.
