There are many good reasons for creating a version of your comic in a different language, which Brad covered in a previous article.  This article covers some thoughts and pointers to consider if you have the skills to carry out this translation yourself, because you have, over the course of your life, picked up a second (or third or fourth) language.

Over the past few years, several attempts have been made to establish Official webcomic awards. The Web Cartoonists’ Choice Awards ran from 2001 to 2008. More recently, The Webcomic List Awards and the Riffys have arisen to try to fill a perceived void in self-congratulation.

Of course, none of these awards have the gravitas that a site like Webcomics.com brings, so I’ve decided to host the first annual Webcomics.com Awards.

In this thread, a member suggested I attempt to gather some statistical information about webcomics from the perspective of the members of this site, and I think it’s an awesome idea. I will try to make this a regular feature of the site. I’ll leave the poll open until Friday, and then publish the results next Monday.
