Some Jibba Jabba With Webcomics’ Own Mr. T

I've known T Campbell for a number of years now and we used to kid that he's the hardest working man in webcomics but there's definitely a kernal of truth to that.  This guy writes a lot of webcomics and than he goes out and writes about webcomics as well.  And although he's no longer local to my neck of Virginia and no longer writes for ComixTALK  I thought it would make a good interview to catch up with him as we barrel on into 2008. 

If you haven't run into T before, well, his webcomic projects include Fans, Penny and Aggie, Search Engine Funnies, Rip and Teri, and Cool Cat Studio.  He's got another one out just now called Sketchies (with co-writer Phil Kahn and art ist Ryan Estrada).  He wrote for ComixTALK before writing for other sites as well as turning his History of Online Comics series into a book.  He also spent a number of years editing the action webcomic anthology site Graphic Smash.

Happy Friday

Happy Friday.  The image function was not working properly this week but I have fixed it — SORT OF.  For now I’ve gotten it so you can create a  separate image node first (and load an image) — than create a new node and select your just loaded image from the "existing images" dropdown.  You can now upload images with your Talk Posts.  Click on the "attached images" link below the text input window and upload your file to the server.  Please only use Safe For Work images.

While I’m writing let me thank our current sponsors: Tim Broderick’s new graphic novel Cash & Carry, the webcomic Blip, and the Learn to Draw the Human Figure course.

In his ComixTALK column this month, Derik Badman writes about "defining comics"Neil Cohn responds on his blog.

DEAD TREES AHOY:

Mitch Clem drops that the dead tree version of his webcomic Nothing Nice to Say will be published by Dark Horse and see the light of day this September.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BLOGS:

Eric "Websnark" Burns is back writing about webcomics with snapshots of Danielle Corsetto (Girls with Slingshots); Nicholas Gurewitch (The Perry Bible Fellowship); and Aeire (Punch an' Pie).

T Campbell adds up Alexa and Compete.com numbers to get a sense of the server stats for popular webcomics.  UPDATE: And here's another method — using the Google API to rank webcomics by links-in their URLs.

And how about a side order of reviews:

Alexander Danner reviews B. Shur's I AM ROCKET.

El Santo reviews the Perry Bible Fellowship-ish webcomic Truck Bearing Kibble.
