Lore Reports Two New Additions To DayFree Press

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 1, 2006 - 13:00

Lore reports there are two new additions to DayFree press: Dr. McNinja, and Stuff Sucks. but I see no confirmation of that at the DayFree site or the two webcomics mentioned.

So file this one under "story developing..." 

Congrats to the newest additions to DayFree Press!

Monday News

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 10, 2006 - 12:26

John Allison drops that he's working on the fourth SGR book.  It's also guest week at Scary Go Round.

URL Fan is kind of a cool site.  You can ego-surf it, check out related sites, and compare competitors.

I don't know if Jeph Jacques is cool with this or not, but these are nifty little QC icons. 

And I hope I'm not interpreting this post out of context (I don't read Ironychan's LJ) but just all by itself it's a pretty funny (yet sadly true) comment on the webcomic experience.

Speaking of Live Journals, blogs, etc., the primary way I keep up with webcomic news (other than a few search engines) is through RSS feeds.  If you're writing about webcomics (even just hyping your own) and you have an RSS feed I'd be happy to add it to my morning list.  Post it here if you want and I'll check it out. 

Quitting The Day Job Updates

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 5, 2006 - 15:29

Jon Rosenberg quits last remnants of a non-webcomics job to do Goats fulltime.

Ryan North finally reveals that he quit his day job an entire year ago...

I'm actually curious as to how many people make their living solely for a webcomic-based enterprise at this point.  It's getting to be more than I can count on my fingers. 

ConBust 2006

Submitted by rabbitpie on April 1, 2006 - 22:30

So I just came back from ConBust at Smith College. It was pretty fun. Webcomics were well represented with Jeph Jacques, R Stevens, the guy who does Minimalistic Stick Figure Theater (I forgot his name and it wasn't on his web site) as well as Jennie Breeden---I think there were as many webcomics guests as other guests at the con. It was a small con, but it was fun.

First and Last: An Irregularly Recurring Look At Webcomic Progress

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 17, 2006 - 22:36

One of the things that is interesting about webcomics is the very public nature of an artist's development. Case in point: Jeph Jacques and Questionable Content. Compare the very first one with a very recent comic.

Hope You're Enjoying the Magazine Update

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 13, 2006 - 16:19

Hope you're enjoying the magazine update - interviews with Mitch Clem and Jeph Jacques so far plus a review of Wahoo Morris, a February news-in-review roundup by Gilead Pellaeon (with bonus illustration from yours truly), a brand new Welton Colbert and a new Comics Theory 101 from Neil Cohn.  You can find all of it on the March 2006 Issue page here.

IE Sucks and Webcomic News

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 10, 2006 - 10:42

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a wonderful thing in theory, but it is amazing how hard it can be to use in practice.  Case in point - IE, instead of overlapping the cover image a bit over the righthand column, pushes it all the way down the page leaving a ton of white space.  Bad IE!  Anyhow I've put in an ugly fix this morning that will work on IE if you have 1024x768 settings on your monitor or above (smaller setting still get the white space).  Firefox seems to behave though.   Hopefully I can resolve this over the weekend...

Also I put up here the first two articles from the March issue: an interview with Jeph Jacques and a new Welton Colbert webcomic.

Now onto the webcomic news!

The Friends of Lulu have opened up nominations for their annual awards. Check out the categories and be sure to nominate worthy candidates from webcomics.

Dave Kellett will be talkin' this upcomin' Monday at the big-deal SXSW conference.  If you're in Austin go check it out.

Peter Hayward is listing his "cool dudes of webcomics".  It's a short list though.  Either Hayward is a stingy bastard or comics are not as cool as Comixpedia thought...

Questionable Creator: George Curtis Interviews Jeph Jacques

March 9, 2006 - 23:51 | George Curtis

With March being the "music issue" one of the first people we thought about was Jeph Jacques, the creator of Questionable Content.  We first interviewed Jeph for Comixpedia way back in August 2004 for our "new blood" issue.  Needless to say, it was cool to quiz Jeph about his work and its progression since his last interview with us.

Themes Are Cool

You've got your standard Motif and then there's your Leitmotif. You look like a Leitmotif type to me. What's it going to take to get you into a Motif today?

Three Years of Comixpedia

February 5, 2006 - 18:03 | Xaviar Xerexes

A little love letter to the magazine that could.It's the third anniversary of Comixpedia this issue.

2006 is the fourth year we've been writing about webcomics. We've put out 38 monthly issues of the magazine and published more than 600 reviews, interviews and other articles about webcomics. We've posted more than 2500 news posts (that's not counting the magazine).
