Saw this on the WebcomicsList – webcomic content for mobile phones from a company called Funkimobile. The list includes Little Gamers, Girl vs. Pig, Diesel Sweeties, BoxJam’s Doodle. Continue Reading →

Ohnorobot.com is a new and free and awesome webcomics search engine. You can easily (and for free) build your own personalized search engine for just your own comic. It allows readers to find the comics they’re looking for with super speed.

UPDATE: T Campbell confirms that the site is having server issues right now. Continue Reading →

I spotted this link over on the Boxcar Comics forums – ghostcat details how he replaced his wornout Wacom cover with replacement plastic. I don’treally know whether or not this is a good idea, but if it does work it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a new Wacom tablet. Continue Reading →

If you are the creator of an established “adult” or “erotic” webcomic, and would like to be a beta tester for the new AdultWebcomics.com hosting and automation service, which will be powered by the Web Comics Nation software engine, post to this TalkAboutComics thread. Be sure to include:

1. The URL of your existing adult or erotic webcomic

2. Some details about how you’d like to use a hosting and automation service (what’s your business model, your update schedule, etc)

I will select somewhere between 10 and 20 beta testers. Selection will not be based on quality, popularity, or anything like that — I’m looking for a wide variety of people who will use the service in a wide variety of ways (and will therefore ensure that every little bit of the service gets tested). So, for example, if cartoonist X and cartoonist Y plan to use the service in exactly the same ways, only one of them will be selected — probably the first one to post.

Note that *only* people with adult or erotic webcomics will be accepted. That’s a reversal, eh?

Beta testers will get free accounts for life.

I know “hosting” isn’t really the right word for Comic Genesis or WebcomicsNation because they do a heck of a lot more than give you space on a server and bandwidth to the Internet. No really we’re talking about “webcomic services” that turn self-publishing a regular (or multiple) webcomic with all of the bells and whistles you can dream up into a relatively simple task.

Lately folks have been writing about their WCN experiences: Bob Stevenson, Ping Teo, Phil Kahn and Brian Hogg just to list a few.

Having looked at a lot of options over the years you essentially have 3 types of approaches: (1) pay services; (2) free services; (3) do-it-yourself scripts. WCN falls into (1) obviously and while there have been many comparisons to Keenspot’s Comic Genesis, CG falls into (2). Keenspot‘s (1) offering is KeenPrime does not have a pay service because despite the existing website for KeenPrime, Chris Crosby confirmed for me that they are no longer offering that service.

The webcomics crafted from Daniel Goodbrey’s Tarquin Engine are still mostly in what you might call the “gee whiz this is a cool tool” stage of artistic development as the numbers of creators experimenting with Tarquin grows. Still there are great examples of what one can do with it and Goodbrey has a list of several Tarquin-created webcomics here. Continue Reading →

A new version of the Infinite Canvas application by Markus Müller has been released. Version 1.3 adds a viewer based on Macromedia Flash.

The editor requires Mac OS 10.2.8 (Linux or Windows versions are not available) and the viewer Macromedia Flash Player 7. Both are released under the GPL and the source code is available as a separate download. Continue Reading →
