WIGU

If your comic isn't popular in one year, it won't ever be

Submitted by KrazyKrow on June 15, 2005 - 09:10

Just something I've been thinking about lately. It seems like all of the giants of the webcomic world reached a decent size (10,000+ readers) within their first year.

So instead of telling newbies to be persistant, should we be telling them to give it a year, then try something else?

Any examples to the contrary?

CRISIS ON INFINITE BUTTER DIMENSIONS

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 26, 2005 - 13:55

There is something really appealing about the way Jeff Rowland has "crossed-over" his purely fictional webcomic, WIGU with his "journal" webcomic (imagine me making those annoying finger quotes when I say journal) Overcompensating. In today's OC, Rowland receives a call from his own creation, poisonous potato, Topato.

Jeffrey Rowland Apparently Drawing "Wigu" Again

Submitted by Michael_Harker on April 20, 2005 - 17:22

Three and a half months after ending the long-running comic Wigu, Jeffrey Rowland has suddenly returned to Wigu, and is once again making comics about the Tinkle family, starring the young, cartoon-obsessed Wigu Tinkle.

Subjecting Faye to Fan Art

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 28, 2005 - 18:03

Every so often a fan art meme will take off in an interesting way. Lost to the Dumbrella board crash was the WIGU thread placing WIGU characters into famous art work. Still here for browsing is this thread playing off of a picture of Questionable Content's Faye drinking from a glass. Starts off slow, but gets much, much sillier.

The book is scheduled to come out in Spring or Summer of this year and you can already pre-order it.

January Issue: All of the Funny That's Fit to Print

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 31, 2005 - 02:16

Well week 4 of the January issue is up. That marks 24 full issues of Comixpedia. I think I can speak for all editors and contributors, past and present: "Man, I'm tired."

Week 4 gives you a column from the Damonkey Man, interviews with both Jeff "WIGU TV" Rowland and the creators of Least I Could Do and finally, a review of Bigger Than Cheeses by Desmond Seah.

February's issue takes a look outside the cozy confines of the panel to hunt down the elusive experimental webcomic. Assuming the Internet doesn't get snowed in, we'll bring you the first week of the February issue on February 7th.

When I Grow Up I Want To Be Jeff Rowland

January 31, 2005 - 00:00

Jeff Rowland is a serial webcomic creator. His first work was the old school When I Grow Up, his second the popular and well-received WIGU and his most recent work includes a journal comic called Overcompensating and a new webcomic called WIGU TV.

Read on for nine questions with Jeff Rowland. Why only nine? Because The Man wouldn't let Rowland have ten questions.
