Have any fellow Canadian comic creators found an insurance company willing to offer general liability insurance for a home business if you are selling into the US? I ran into a new glitch today...

My own is a novel but happy to tag Patrick @plugo.bsky.social for his comic! www.kickstarter.com/projects/plu...

You did really fantastic work on this.

Woohoo! So glad it made it to you!

Hey awesome comic creators/reviewers, My book designer left a spot for a pull quote on the inside front cover of my new conspiracy thriller Vxd. Some "social proof" would be really helpful before I crowdfund the book. If you are interested, hit me up, and I'll pass along the link to the PDF via DM.

A lot of people confuse writing with typing. Writing isn’t typing. It’s the entire process and yes that includes going for a walk or rearranging things in your office.

Writing villains as a comic writer means becoming far too aware of the fragility of modern society. That, and using incognito mode judicially to make sure you don’t accidentally end up on a watch list. 😂

I’m intrigued to see how well this crowdfunding approach works. Has anyone else used Indiegogo for a comic/movie horror project?

Artist Viktor Farro just sent me some pre-production ink and style study art for Ankle Biters. 😳 When your first gut reaction to horror art is “Oh, Lord, what have I helped unleash into the world?! “ I think it’s fair to say he’s on the right track. Ha! #HorrorComics #ComicBookArt #HorrorFan

Hey, friends, try building your perspective around your figures rather than starting with a perspective grid, it's easier!

Similarly, decades ago I heard John Romita give this advice to someone about breaking in to Marvel or DC as a writer. I've used it ever since. "There are six keys that get you into the door at Marvel or DC. If you don't have one of these six keys, you're not getting in." The keys are:

The “authors should just do it for the love” argument is so insidious because it comes from all angles. Conservatives push it through the lens of seeing the arts as having no value or being a bauble for the rich, but I also see it with progressives from the angle of “don’t sell out, maaaan!”

The biggest change to my comics career in 2025 will be leaning into digital-first*. I still hope to create print comics - eventually - but I plan to use the revenue from the sale of my digital comics to pay for their printing. Have any other creators had any success with this flipped approach?

A new translation was recently published of a seminal manga/comics studies essay in 1995 that documents and explains manga iconography with 120 examples. It's so exciting to see a precursor of what I'm doing rn with the Comics Devices Library www.japanesestudies.org.uk/ejcjs/vol24/...

All you newbies drawing their first comic and haven't printed their comic before: 300 dpi, CMYK colours, bleed and safety, 0 0 0 100 K black text on a separate layer. Make sure you have all of these on all of your comics files, otherwise you'll end up like me having to fix 660 pages of my webcomic

Yaas!

Yaaas!

Love Joshua’s treatment of this page from “Lump Dog.”

I’d love to learn to flat my own comics. Is anyone using Procreate? I’d love to know how you learned.

Awesome! Thanks for highlighting this!
