Interview with DJ Coffman at Way of the Geek
Submitted by Sean C on July 18, 2008 - 21:40
I recently interviewed DJ Coffman after the latest webcomic drama, talking with the comicker about his new projects, and where he's going post-Platinum. It doesn't touch much on drama, but that's been done to death already anyway. It's over at Way of the Geek, and can be found here.

Submitted by Sean C on April 16, 2007 - 12:09
Cain is Able, my webcomic about the unfortunate anchorman Tate Cain, returns from a near month-long hiatus with a new surprise...it's in color! Can this colorblind creator successfully move from a black and white world to the realm of the color spectrum?
Eh, I'll give it a shot.

"Why do we even care about this?"
We do not need Wikipedia.
