Posted by DarthMike on May 7th, 2008

Drawn from sources that love the muppets…

  • Giving away your content for free? Think like a dandelion, interesting article.
  • Scott Kurtz surprised at CAPE.
  • Readers pick most Super Effective webcomic over at Joystiq.
  • Webcomic Asylum has an interview with Joanne Wojtysiak of Gothbunnies.
  • Despite a great response, I know that some are still waiting for their copy of How To Make Webcomics. Here’s hoping the logjam breaks soon because it’s a good book.
  • PVP gets write-up in the Wired blog.
  • Nice write-up for Cartoonists in Toronto, including webcomic creators.
  • Fluther.com user Foolaholic asks what webcomics we frequent.
  • Introducing the latest webcomic promotion guide; a little incomplete, but a good start.
  • Nothing Better is calling for guest strips.
  • Comic Fencing gets a new look and is looking for comics to review.
  • The Webcomic Beacon podcast this week has a discussion entitled Grayscale vs B&W vs Color which looks promising.
  • Interesting post at The Scienteers about the equation of webcomic success.
  • Jim Henson explains visual thinking.

Webcomic Wire - 5/5/08

Drawn from sources inspired by the Maker’s Faire…

  • A womping 10 years of PVP! Congratulations Scott!
  • Tim Broderick replies to Chris Wright’s guest column on Fleen.
  • Webcomics collective Transplant Comics seems to be recovering well from surgery.
  • Red String celebrates 5 years. Congratulations Gina!
  • 5 years of Station 3V. Congratulations Tom!
  • The Webcomic Overlook has a one punch review of Wayfarer’s Moon.
  • Comic Fencing has started with their first reviews of We The Robots.
  • Voting for the Eisner Awards is open.
  • I had the chance to meet Craig Schwartz and the other creators of Toonlet at their Maker’s Faire table on Saturday.  They seem really energized about their software and had some interesting ideas about how it might be used by existing webcartoonists to enhance their forums by giving fans access to their characters so they can respond to the latest strip and to each other. Commentary through comics? Could be cool.
