Webcomics Weekly returns with a discussion of Dave Kellett’s recent Eisner nomination and Scott Kurtz’s decision to attend the National Cartoonists Society’s Reubens Weekend.
Scott derails the episode to discuss his retirement from the word “webcomics.”
Community building is perhaps on of the most important components of a webcomics success that there is. Every beginning webcartoonist wants to be able to success in terms of pageviews and unique visitors. They think a larger audience will automatically yield larger revenue. But as it happens in so many other aspects of life, it’s not about size — it’s about how you use it. I’ll take a webcomic with a small readership with an intense sense of community over a large, disjointed readership any day.

Deciding to print T-shirts is a vastly different process than printing books or posters. Here’s a quick primer to get you on your feet.
If you decide to handle the production of a T-shirt run, spend a little time finding a good printer.

Back in the day, webcartoonists would handle preorders through PayPal. We’d make the announcement that a book was forthcoming and readers could pre-order it now — with the knowledge that it would be shipped immediately.

This is Part Seven in an ongoing critique of comics picked at random from participating members, so let’s get right to the disclaimers. AIf I re-write the punchline, I’m not necessarily trying to go funnier. I’m trying to demonstrate construction. I want to show how you re-assembling the logical steps along the progression of your comic can lead to a more polished punchline. It may not seem funnier for your sense of humor. But I’m confident that if you pay attention to the construction, you’ll be able to take away something that works for you.
