My favorite part of making a webcomic is that I can just go back and change things whenever I feel like I could do better. This power has only driven me slightly absolutely insane because I constantly feel like I could’ve done better.

complex, longform narrative comics are best read as webcomics, because a schedule of regular updates encourages the reader to actively engage with the story, while graphic novels often are read too quickly to absorb all the thought and effort that went into them

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

#3157 A helpful tutorial

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.'
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

The Little Vampire Who Couldn't.

Horatio and Zib - some silly stuff originally sketched in a Patreon livestream, prompted by a request for vampire Horatio.

A four panel Lackadaisy comic in shades of sepia and green. It depicts Horatio, the doorman cat in a tuxedo, attempting to hiss menacingly. He explains to Zib, a scruffy-looking cat, that he's a vampire. Zib disparages him thusly.

This video is one year old today. Rewatching it was kinda bittersweet. It’s outdated but you should watch it too. Just because I said so.
