I can't tell if Scott is satirizing himself or is really pissed off. Is anyone else's sarcasm detector working? I think mine's broken.
well I have just joined this site today becuase i was told this was a good place to find a web comic artist. I have been working on the writing side of a web comic for about 3 months now and need an artist to get this idea off the ground. please e-mail me if you think you may be interested in working with me on this project.

I'm maybe the last webcomic creator on the planet to find out about this place... but, it's great.
Just wanted to give you guys some props.
I'm looking for some information about printing comics in book form. I've been doing a three-panel strip every month for about two and a half years for a magazine in Chicago. They've recently decided to stop running it, so I'm thinking of collecting them into a pocket sized book (ie one panel per page, about 80+ pages). I have absolutely no experience with printing my own comics. I've found a few printers online, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Who's decent? I'm looking to print more of a mini comic, not standard size, in black and white. One added complication is that I live in Japan, but I've got people at home who can give me a hand with distribution, etc.
After a previous 11 months of working an extremely flexible job and being able to update my comic thrice weekly, circumstances have changed for me as I once again find myself working eight hours a day, five days a week. Working in front of computer all day as I do, the thought of sitting down for another couple of hours after work is bad enough, but the reality is totally unworkable for me.
So, I've chopped my update schedule back to once a week for now. Not my ideal solution, but at least I'm still updating and still close to sane.
I was wondering, what are the experiences balancing work and webcomic for all you other webcomickers out there? Is anyone working a full time job and updating more than a couple of times a week? Is it actually possible to balance regular updates, work, spouses, friends and family?
Of course, you could be one of those lucky three people whose webcomic IS their full-time job, in which case this post doesn't apply to you - please disregard.
