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.

Insurance, the saying goes, is making a bet that something bad is going to happen… and hoping you lose.

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.

Q. You start off the “How To Make Webcomics” book briefly touching on the attribute that a lot of artists seem to have. It’s the “I’m not good enough” syndrome.
