Chex is breaking into Hollywood and he's not afraid to cause collateral damage to a few webcomics along the way. Get a sneak peak at some of his most recently greenlighted studio projects…
In his latest exploration of visual language, Neil Cohn sketches in rhyme. Can two comic panels "rhyme"? Can we translate the notion of rhyming into an effective part of the visual language used by comic creators?
Scott Ramsoomair's VG Cats is a gaming webcomic unlike any other. Where else would you find the adventures of a costumed adventurer named Pants Man or an alien face-hugger that enjoys that experience a little… too much.
Gilead Pellaeon knows Penny Arcade. Penny Arcade is a friend of his. And Press Start To Play is no Penny Arcade.
But while Press Start To Play has much in common with Penny Arcade, PSTP is much more than another PA clone.
How political and economic pressures created the most famous piece of American foreign policy: The Monroe Doctrine (and how a strategic partnership kept if from being hollow rhetoric).

A nice post from Debbie Ridpath Oni on writing journals – she includes a lot of links to good resources on writing.
Tom Spurgeron points to an interesting thread at Warren Ellis' Engine forums on starting up a comic book shop.
Been out of pocket all day and apparently the site took a header into a ditch this morning. A quick check suggests an attack to me, but I'll sort it out later tonight.Â
Consider this an open thread. Â Â
I'm looking for a volunteer (or multiple someones) who is attending Comicon and would be willing to write a few posts that week (week of July 24th) for Comixpedia.
Webcomics have guest weeks – I guess this would be it's equivalent. If you're interested in being a Comixpedia guest blogger shoot me an email soon (xerexes AT comixpedia DOT com).
I read Reinder's post called "Albatrosses" this morning and man I bet that's a common issue (I know it's exactly the kinds of thoughts I've gone through when contemplating taking on another webcomic project).
On Friday, I had a longish talk with my brother about his creative endeavours and mine. He mentioned that whatever he planned to do, he'd find himself losing interest and not finishing it. What I found interesting was that the sort of projects he mentioned as examples were things like cleaning up and remixing old recordings of the various bands he was in, editing videos he had lying around unfinished, and other projects that involved a lot of digging through old stuff, cataloguing it, improving what already exists, trying to finish what didn't get done when it should have been. Hearing that was like having a mirror held up to me – it's exactly what I've been doing for over a year, and I'm heartily sick of it.
For our June issue we have an article on business strategies for webcomics by Sebastian Parsons that everyone – especially those working on making a living from their work – should check out.
I'd also like to thank our current sponsors – continuing sponsors Ka-Blam Digital Printing and the webcomic Pewfell Porfingles, as well as three new webcomic advertising with us:
