A Fairly Busy Monday
Let’s get started, shall we?
- J Baird (you remember him from the Create a Comic Project here, here, and here) wrote to us in search of artists:
I’m working on putting together a simple teaching guide concerning kids and comics. It won’t be anything on McCloud‘s level, but it’ll give some nice tips on how to simplify certain aspects of comics that may prove useful to potential volunteers. Like Rousse-Deane‘s The Kid’s Book Project, the guide is not for profit.
More details of what Baird’s looking for over at ComixTalk.
- Also at ComixTalk, it’s gang interview time with the lads of Blank Label.
- Redesigns ho! Starslip Crisis (now with new, shorter URL and a spoiler-laden but concise new reader’s guide) and Las Bragas del Diablo are sporting new looks this morning. In addition to the new look, Starslip creator Kris Straub has a blogposting that nicely illustrates the fact that challenges inherent to achieving the status of professional webcomicker aren’t necessarily the same as the challenges to staying there. Compelling stuff; would-be pros, ignore at your peril.
- Advice for the budding webcartoonist from the woman who causes me to live in terror and who also wrote this nippleriffic little ditty. >sigh< Is it too much to ask that I be able to go a month without fear of being murdered?
Speaking of redesigns – The Devil’s Panties site got a good going over by fellow webcomicker Gina Biggs.

[…] Read the whole thing. I should note that some of this — like the above paragraph, and the last paragraph — is as applicable to online comics bloggers as it is to online comics makers. (Link via Gary Tyrrell.) […]
