Self-deprecating humor. We all know how it works.
If I put myself down, then it makes it harder for someone else to put me down. And maybe someone else will actually be moved to say something positive.

Another round of Kris, Brad, Dave and Scott!
Part of my job is talking to people that have no idea who or what Penny Arcade is. A pretty accurate description of the strip is “a political cartoon about the game industry,” but honestly – the people that I deal with really don’t give a shit about what our content is (it’s rare to find an agency that truly understands a niche audience). What they’re interested in is: who does give a shit about our content. They care about the readers. They care about what makes them tick, and, as mercenary as it sounds, they care about the products they buy and how they can leverage that information to sell their own.

Dear Webomics.com,
I’ve been attempting to get moving on a webcomic for a little over a year now. I’ve got to the point where I would have 3-6 months written out (depending on update schedule). Recently though, I’ve decided to put this whole story in the background.

Dear Webcomics.com,
How does one discover his or her story? In listening to interviews with some of my favorite creators, I often hear the artist say that he found success by just finally putting everything together that he wanted to draw, or write about, and stopped trying to please an audience. Mike Mignola [“Hellboy”] comes to mind, as does Jeff Smith [“Bone”]; both these guys developed ideas that they loved, despite the current ‘hot thing.’ But how does one find that concept? How does one discover the story he or she really wants to tell? I find that answering this question is really hard (I’m assuming it’s hard for a lot people since there is so much derivative work out there).
