Webcomic collectives, groups, whatever have been spawning quickly recently. We’ve spoken to several members about their various reasons for forming and goals they have set out for themselves.

Here is the official announcement from Ryan Estrada’s post to The Ryans blog (obviously, Mr. Estrada is one of the “Ryans”) : Continue reading
The sometimes controversial, but always prolific, webcomic workhorse and cartoonist behind Yirmumah, DJ Coffman, has started a new site dedicated to helping other cartoonists find a business model for their comic creations. DJ has been able to work his own webcomic into a money making venture and now he’s offering ongoing advice for everyone to try and follow in his footsteps or even exceed his own success. This sort of thing could turn into a great resource and is certainly a generous act Continue reading
I received an email today with some rather odd news. Apparently someone who moderates or edits or whatever on wikipedia has been cleaning house, deleting several webcomic entries and voting for others to be removed as well. Here’s part of the message that was sent to us:
“There’s been a bunch of webcomics removed from Wikipedia or currently on the chopping block… including “The Outer Circle”. Continue reading

Today’s Digital Strips comic refers to the prolific writer and webcomic commentator Eric Burns. He’s best known for his cartoon critique blog Websnark, but he has his hands in many a webcomic pot. He writes the very cool comic Gossamer Commons, he writes for the Webcomics Examiner, and he has a recurring column on Comixpedia entitled ‘Feeding Snarky‘. The specific joke here refers to the column Eric wrote back in August. It was a really interesting read, but at the same time it sort of took me by surprise. Continue reading

The debate rages on. Today’s comic features a conversation we’ve had several times on the podcast, but it was high time to lay it right out on the table here in the comic. You may be asking yourself, “Self, why are Daku and Zampzon hunting out in the marshlands?” Well, I wrote the dialog as you see it in the comic and if I just followed that it would be pretty boring just having the talking heads like usual. So, I threw in the hunting scene just to spice it up visually. Safety orange usually equals funny. Continue reading
