Plotting and pacing are crucial elements in creating a compelling comic.

You might be missing an important opportunity to promote your Kickstarter.

Therefore to maximize the effectiveness of that endorsement, you need to repost it or retweet it.
But if you don’t go looking for it, you’ll never know that it’s there.
