One of the big stories in comics today is the plagiarism of David Simpson, an editorial cartoonist for a newspaper called the Urban Tulsa. After repeatedly being called out for plagiarizing cartoons, he has been un-inducted from the Oklahoma Cartoonist Hall of Fame, and — more importantly — he’s lost his contract position at the newspaper.

Chris Eliopoulos, of Misery Loves Sherman and Pet Avangers accalim (to say nothing of his awesome-looking Coyboy project for Archaia), has written a useful piece about staying in comics.
I’ve been told that breaking into the comics industry is easy, it’s the staying in that’s hard..

A member has pointed to a recent occurence at the London MCM Expo, eliciting opinions about the issue. I’ve got a few opinions, but they’re not likely to be the one’s you’d expect.
In short, the organizer of the Orang Utan comics collective and one of its member cartoonists felt they had been wronged by the people running the London MCM Expo. They have some legitimate gripes.
But the manner in which they’ve presented their argument almost insures that they will never see a significant resolution to their case. Anything’s possible, of course, but they’ve made their chances awfully slim.
I realize this is a weird topic for Webcomics.com, but it has so many useful applications — from negotiatiating a contracxt to handling a disgruntled fan — that I felt it important to elevate this from a response to a Private Forum post to its own topic.

Here’s a wild thought about today’s post on CNN’s Geek Out discussing the dearth of women in comics: Just because you don’t see them, it doesn’t mean they’re not there... maybe you’re not looking in the right places.

Social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Google+ have immense potential for spreading the word about your comic cheaply and efficiently.
I’m particularly impressed with Twitter’s ability to generate viral marketing — to the extent that I bought a monthly membership to 14Blocks so I could try to aim my message to the times when the greatest number of my followers were potentially logged-in to Twitter. In fact, every Sunday evening, I use 14Blocks to map out the entire week planning site-related tweets — comic updates, blog teases and other scheduled activity — for peak traffic times.

But today I want to talk to you about the one hiccup I had this con season while using Square.The content you are trying to access is only available to members.
Since starting the site, we’ve done several Hot Seat critiques. The Hitch It / Ditch It critique that we just wrapped up went over very well. But we’ve also held critiques that focused on a specific part of members’ webcomics — such as logo design, Web site functionality, writing, etc. — that were very popular as well.
