Four Webcomic Picks
October 16th, 2011 — Grab Bag
If you record music and are in the band scene, you’ll probably like Thank You NASA, which recently hit 100 strips. Cutting Through is a high concept, minimal kind of comic. Some of them I found very meaningful while others I had a little difficulty grasping. Each comic is supposed to stand on its own [...]

Digital Fooey
September 28th, 2011 — Grab Bag
This piece from TechCrunch was interesting. It suggests using the internet as marketing but the lack of quality content is a problem which drives readers to their iPods or to professionally edited magazines. The article emphasizes that being on the web eventually compromises the quality of the product. To that I say “fooey” and “hogwash.” [...]

Goalposts and Milestones
September 22nd, 2011 — Grab Bag
Time for some milestones… Cody The Cavalier passed one year, Eben07 hit four years and Galaxion and +1 Comics crossed the five year mark (or longer, depending on your math.) Makeshift Miracle has the goal of making a comeback, according to the teaser. And if you didn’t read the Curls interview, you’ll never know how [...]
Comic Making Meanderings
September 20th, 2011 — Grab Bag
Wondering what other webcomic artists have for advertising results? Try Lilith on for size. Wondering what you should sell for merchandise? Perhaps you are wondering who your audience is (or should be?) and how to get more traffic. You might also enjoy a discussion about whether or not characters write themselves.

In a thread on the Comixscholars email list (way back in January,) one poster asked when the Gotham Police Department become corrupt. A number of replies came in with some discussion about how it wasn’t until the early 1980′s, after Batman: Year One and the Dark Knight Returns that Gotham PD became regularly filled with [...]
The Hiatus Three
August 28th, 2011 — Grab Bag
Hi folks. Today, we have three comics that requested reviews but have all gone on hiatus within a month of the request. Things happen. We all understand. One fizzled out, another was a part time effort, and the last has gone into print. Each of these seemed like they had some promise and I wanted [...]
Monsters Galore
August 26th, 2011 — Grab Bag, News
Has it really been 20 years since they made Monsters Inc? There’s another kind of monster I wanted to mention, too. Namely, spammonsters. I’ve had to shut off the subscribe option (not the RSS feed) because I’m getting nonsense signups. They’re just bots signing up in case I have the subscribers set to be able [...]

Alien Research Subject Tshirt by dgriff13 Browse more Zorphbert T-Shirts And this is a cry for help. Anyone know of a good Mac or server-based site scraper? I’m thinking it would be helpful for many comic folks who maintain websites to have an emergency way to capture their whole site in html. If your comic [...]
Comic Spam
August 18th, 2011 — Grab Bag
I had three spam comments in the last six days. The spammers are getting more complex. Mostly, this site gets half English comments that are clearly not on topic. This is very nice post view to season purpose,I saw the first season – “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” But, I missed the entire second [...]
