WEBCOMICS AND STUFF
I'm getting back into the swing of things now. Yay!
Dave Justus and his lovely wife came over this weekend and we talked about getting Filthy Habit among other things back on track and out the door. I did some sketching, he did some bitching and we all learned he freaking blows at video games. Not just a little bit either, he's like the Sultan of Suck at it... at least that's what we heard. He did not give us a demonstration of his horrid abilities.
Webcomics...
I've got so many comic projects I want to do and so little time to do them, I've been giving a lot of thought to turning one of my projects into a "long-form" webcomic. A subject that is currently being discussed at length on the Panel and Pixel forum. If you are interested in this stuff at all, there is some very cool info in this thread.
The very same thread made me check out Wowio.com again. I've been there before, but couldn't figure out the pricing structure. Most everything was free, but I didn't understand how long it would be before I had to pay to download a comic. The answer is NEVER. Wowio has a whole list of completely free comics to download. They are paid for with ads and you can only download so many a day/week, but they have some really good stuff on there. If you like comics, you should really give it a look see. I mean... it's free quality comics. What's not to love?
Also how long has Amazon been selling subscriptions to comics? Am I completely in the dark on this?

I think I've been in the same boat with web comics. I'd like to do it but I want to do it right. And by doing so you really need to keep a solid schedule, something I'm not sure I'll ever have. I love the printed media but I'm in a little bit of a funk on what to do after Astronaut Dad book 2. Glad to hear we'll have some new work coming soon from you though.

Webcomics is a sexy mistress.
After all, the indie serial comics rarely make any cash and are now pretty much just and ad or a test to see if the collected graphic novel will perform well. Why not just build up that same audience online and save yourself the hassle of printing serial comics.
From what I gather, people will still purchase a hard copy if they like the material... even if it's already free on the internet.
