Hello. Just came across this site in my wanderings. I'm Ben T. Steckler, aka BenT, aka Edna Lifenshurnz. I'm primarily a mini-comics artist, but I do have a site up now after almost ten years in this biz.

I do "get BenT!", "Unshaven CHI", "f-ARTjoke", "Quincy the Scaredy-Cat", "Fluffy The Pet Fart", "FLAGWAIVER", and my most recent popular one, the Jack Chick Parody, "Your D**k's Too Short to F**k with God".

I have info and previews about my mini-comics and my convention appearances, and I also have several gag-cartoons to peruse, which I update weekly.

come see what's new in the backwaters of Pennsyltucky;

Comicollage is seeking someone familiar with the comic/characters/archives and with some sort of comicmaking skills/enthusiasm/commitment/silliness to take over the Wednesday slot, since their current Wednesday person has sadly departed.

Hi,

First time posting here and I had a question: aside from Keenspace, are there any other inexpensive (ie free) webhosts for comic creators that anyone knows of?

Thanks!

So, let's talk webcomic promotion possibilities.

Aside from posting "HYPE!" type threads here or at Talk About Comics, what are some other types of good, legitimate webcomic promotion out there to be had?

I've got a unique conundrum, because my webcomic only appears at Girlamatic, so archives are not free, therefore I can't really build an audience the "normal" way. I have to find alternate methods.

I recently bought banner ad space at Comixpedia. I might keep doing that, it's cheap.

Anyone else?

Newsarama has an interview with Jason Little about his recent book, Shutterbug Follies, the collected version of the webcomic, BEE, featuring the 18 year old Bee coming to solve a murder mystery.

All in one place, links to some new webcomics:

The Agency is a manga-esque comic about secret agents.

Gemini Bright, is the story of Matt, a bored teen taken on a family outing to Las Vegas. Upon encountering some magic kitsch, he is transported into an alternate universe populated with half-man/dragons and other weird creatures.

Counting the Cracks is a journal comic about the life of a student in Austraila.

Silly Cone V isn't actually new but it is toiling towards the completion of its third year under the crippling burden of a complete lack of artistic skill. When reached for comment, the author Scrubbo said "What? Somebody reads that crap? GET OFF OF MY LAWN! YOU DAMN KIDS!"

Heya - I'm Randy. Just thought I'd introduce myself *courtseys*

Check out the Keen crib of Keenspace's Dennis Kanenwisher and see where he creates the popular F.O.G. Club Adventure.

You can check it out from Friday, May 30 through Thursday, June 5 -- after which KeenPremium members can view it indefinitely.

It's one of the Extras -- like Mondays with Mel and Wednesday Webtoon Trivia at Greystone Inn.
