Although I had taped a video of the Webcomics.com Lightning Round at Comic-Con, I chose a poor location for my Flip Mino, and the result was less than stellar. However, the audio came out quite nicely, so for those of you who couldn’t make it to San Diego (or those of you who couldn’t get in due to the Lost squatters), here’s the entire panel discussion as a Webcomics.com exclusive. Robert Khoo, Scott Kurtz and I covered about twenty questions in lightning-round format covering almost every aspect of webcomics in one form or another. Listen to this.
As you may have heard, we held a follow-up session around midnight in a boardroom at the Marriott. It was an impromptu gathering announced only at the panel and on Twitter. It was not recorded, but it was a very fun opportunity to tell some of the stories behind Webcomics.com and discuss webcomics a little more deeply.
Since using unpaid interns has been fairly popular among webcartoonists for the past several years, it’s interesting to see this piece on ther legal issues involved.
If you’re going to use an unpaid intern, take a note from folks like Dave Kellett who arranges it through local universities in exchange for college credit.

Thanks to the affable Gary Tyrrell, Fleen has a transcript of the Webcomics.com Lightning Round featuring Robert Khoo, Scott Kurtz and me. The theme of the panel was that people would ask us questions and we would each answer in under 20 second, without repeating a point the other(s) had made. We covered about twenty topics during the 55-minute discussion. Here’s a sample.

In talking about ADSDAQ a while back, we came across eCPM as a unit of measure. In researching the topic, I’ve found that it’s a pretty useful tool for comparing how your ads are doing.
eCPM stands for “effective cost per thousand impressions.” ADSDAQ uses it, and so does Google AdSense.

When choosing a host for your Web site, you have a myriad of choices and variables to consider. What makes one choice good for one webcartoonists wouldn’t necessarily work for another.

I’ve always been jealous of Dave Kellett’s book display. He got the brilliant idea of buying plate holders (the kind you use to display decorative dishes) to hold his books upright. They were vinyl-coated and they folded down flat for easy packing. He always carried extra, and I was always bumming a couple from him when we exhibited together.

Choosing the moment to illustrate in a panel is central to the success of a comic — and crucial to cartoonists working in single-panel formats like editorial cartoons and gag cartoons. You’ve brainstormed the who, what and where… now don’t drop the ball on the when.
