The original press release for Women Webcomicker Grat NAN can be found at http://divalea.livejournal.com/343450.html

Before September 6th, for me to say I understood the reach of the Internet would mean that I knew it was an end run around many obstacles facing artists who wanted to share their work with the world. It’s an end run I have been making since 1991, a decade and a half of dodging and weaving, and in that, a bit more than ten as a webcomicker, one of the first to make the print-to-web transition with Rumble Girls: Silky Warrior Tansie. I started Women Webcomicker Grant Nan because I was challenged to do something about the problems I saw with comics, instead of just talking about them. Inspired by Peter Laird’s Xeric Grant for self-publishers and Dr. Keith P. Taylor’s Modest Needs foundation, which gives small gifts to people to help pay emergency expenses, I realized it was within my grasp to do something, and even a “small” something was still something.

DJ Coffman announced today that Hero By Night Diaries has gone to M-F update schedule. DJ Coffman only recently launched Hero By Night Diaries on Drunk Duck and put his other comic Yirmumah on a (hell I don’t know what kind of schedule) schedule (on a side note DJ is looking for Guest strips for Yirmumah).

Hero By Night Diaries seems to have gotten a warm welcome and in my opinion looks sharp.

DJ says “I’m excited to be able to flesh out the world of the original Hero By Night via his journals. This is a whole new way of telling a story for me, and I look forward to not just creating a static comic strip, but a world the readers can get immersed in, or dig as deep as they’d like with clues or plots within many of the installments. Over time, I think it will be great when say for example, strip # 50 features something mentioned briefly in a prior strip, and will be a nice payoff for readers that are really paying “.

HBN Diaries is a companion piece to his upcoming comic Hero By Night that will be published by Platinum Studios.

Ok, Zach at Platinum put together a kickbutt HERO BY NIGHT site hosted on Drunk Duck. Check it out!

Also, thanks to everyone who signed up for the HERO-GRAM thing on herobynight.com, I’m going to try to keep that idea alive, and fit it in somehow to the new herobynight.com landing page that Platinum will be doing. I really like the idea of some sort of “tranmission” from the hero’s lair or something like that, and any time there’s breaking news about HBN, specials, etc… I can send out a dispatch to the faithful readers.

Also, there are more things planned on the Drunk Duck site, bonus sections, and a blog type deal that will hopefully be going on the next upgrade to Drunk Duck– but I’m not 100% sure on that. I am 100% sure that some exciting things are going down!

From Xaviar Xerexes, Comixpedia

It’s not too late to sign up for Fright Night 8 – just send an email to xerexes AT comixpedia DOT com with your name and your webcomic.

To join in the Fright Night fun this year sign up by midnite, this Friday (Oct 20). If you join the project your mission will be to do a spooky remix of a webcomic from another creators archives (we’ll pair people up this weekend).

We’ll post the results this Halloween.

Also we could use help getting word out on the return of Fright Night – feel free to use one of these banners if you want.

If your here to listen to the interview with Tom Brazelton it will be up this afternoon. We’re sorry some things poped up yesterday and I sent JT to bed before he had the chance to finish editing the news. He kept yelling out “I am THE GIGCAST B*THC” and honestly that joke is mush funnier on film.

For those of you who didn’t know we we’re interviewing Mt Brazelton… SUPRISE!

Please take a moment to look around and checkback tonight and we will have it ready for you.

[Editing update]
The drugs are working, all will be well soon.
Major editing is done, just a few in/outs to record and pop into place,and then the final mix. I forsee a late afternoon EST upload of Gigcastical Goodness ™. Barring Hurricane, bear attack or mother-in-law invasion.
Damn this real world job.
JT

Hey Folks. I revieved this e-mail the other day. Seems there is a Webcomic ferret in trouble who needs your help!

Check it out, help if you can.

(From Mike, the guy from the Girls With Slingshots Fanclub/supporter thingie…)
I’m not sure if you have heard of Starline’s comic Candi (
http://www.candicomics.com/ ), it’s a semi autobiographical webcomic
with a style that has anime, Disney and David Willis’s influence in it.
With talking and flying ferrets, the squirrels mafia, and art teachers
from hell. Starline is a big fan of your comic, I’m sure you’ve seen her
fanart in the forums….

Well, Menjou the ferret is based on Starline’s ferret, Bobby, who has
just been diagnosed with Adrenal disease and has a bump on the head
which might be cancer. The operation cost so far for her is 750$ and
that doesn’t even count surgery.
( http://starline.livejournal.com/249360.html )

I know I’m really pushing it here, but… could you be so kind to make a
small mention in your next news post or something? I’d be eternally
grateful if you
did! Her paypal address is starlinex@gmail.com

Paul Taylor of Wapsi Square already made a post about this issue ( http://pablowapsi.livejournal.com/53162.html )
