From Our Senior Endurance Comics Reporter, Jack Ironpen:

“Xaviar, I’m standing here outside the small trailer where Ryan Estrada has spent 168 hours continuously creating a comic from scratch.”

“Jack, that’s amazing. How is he doing?”

“Well not good. First of all, he’s been sitting in a trailer the size of a walk-in closet for a week. Xaviar – that thing has no ventilation at all. It smells like a Cracker Barrel kitchen crossed with five old guys in a sauna. I think that, more than the one hour of sleep a day has destroyed Ryan’s beautiful mind.”

“Jack that doesn’t sound good – how is Ryan right now?”

“Well unfortunately, he’s still working on the comic. I think he’s at 180 hours now. He’s become obsessed with this and it may well lead to a bad end. Someone really ought to go in that trailer and slap him around or something.”

“Jack, maybe you should call-“

“Xaviar we’re the press. We can’t get involved, we just report. Besides that Estrada’s been eating Taco Bell all week – you really can’t underestimate the level of trailer reekage we’re talking about-“

“Thank you Jack!”

“Xaviar.” Continue Reading →

At this point today, Ryan Estrada should be well into making the first 168 Hour Comic and reclaiming his record for “longest continuous comic-making” and also most likely, going insane.

If you’d like to get a sense of Ryan before he goes insane, check out the very recent Digital Strips interview with Ryan. Continue Reading →

The DC Webtoonists have schemed up another gathering of mass proportions. OK, maybe not mass proportion, but still a proportion of grand excitement. With a new meet up spot, this time in Maryland! Continue Reading →

David Willis has annouced that he and the rest of Blank Label Comics will attend a number of panels at the San Diego Comicon. Willis will attend a panel entitled Webcomics 103: Making Money. Should be interesting, especially considering the recent discussions regarding the economics of webcomics.

In other con-related news, Josh Lesnick has a con report from A-kon.
