Modern Tales Offers Syndication to Other Websites
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on October 21, 2003 - 11:57
Modern Tales has set up a page offering a syndication service that allows webmasters to place a Modern Tales webcomic on their own websites.
"At any given moment, the latest episode of the syndicated comic will appear within your own web page. Your readers will be drawn back to your website to follow the story (which is, of course, the same reason that newspapers and magazines carry comics). Some percentage of those readers will follow the link back to Modern Tales or one of its sister sites, and eventually choose to subscribe, to gain access to the archives (which is, in turn, analogous to buying a Dilbert paperback). So: your site gets more repeat visits, and our site gets a stream of new readers who would never have found us before. Everybody wins."
Dorothy Gambrell's 24 Hours of Death

From Ms. Gambrell:
"From 9am October 23rd to 8am October 24th, I'll be making and then posting a New Adventures of Death cartoon, in a special fun size format, every hour.
Why? Because the USA was built on stupid gimmicks and pointless endurance, that's why."

Welcome Back Xerexes and Time for Some News

You hardly noticed, didn't ya? I was gone for a whole week and a half (almost completely disconnected from the online world), on a relaxing vacation in an undisclosed location.
While I was gone, webcomics continued to flock to Bitpass, including: (1) The Package, a self-described webcomic about a character who's too well endowed for his own good; and (UPDATE!) Geeks In Love, which is actually animation but if Scott McCloud can link to it, I guess we can, too.
Next, check out this 3-D webcomic: The Starry Ones by Ancram Hudson and Mitch Waxman, who also have new stuff at Weird-Ass Net.
Also, R Stevens (Diesel Sweeties) sends a buddy to check out the 'Pedia, so check out his webcomics: Fat Red Duck (the story of a fat red duck and his friends, including a twinkie, a homosexual cupcake, a worm, and a snowman) and BANG! (mostly hand-drawn and cut-and-paste webcomics).
And last but not least, here's a belated semi-rookie mention: Cap'n has finished his first storyline (76 episodes). Full-color webcomic adventure, folks!
Finally, some helpful folks at Talkaboutcomics are talking about Fright Night! Here's a thread with links to Fright Night entries. You can also chat about it on the Fright Night forum (and if you want to add some comments to this month's story on Fright Night, go right ahead!).
