Well, at long last (2 whole months!) I've got webcomics online on a site dedicated specifically to webcomics! The novelty of it all. My current problem is coming up with a good topic to discuss at length for my one strip Jack's Criterary Corner, re-drawing a one-shot series Jackie Wilson, and finishing a calendar style comic Girly Girl's Year of Tom Foolery. I only have September left for the last comic but I'm out of ideas--funny ones anyway.

Newsarama reports that Slave Labor Graphics has added more titles to their downloadable comics list.

Slave Labor's entry into the "pay per webcomic" market is something I'd like to write more on (or get someone else to write about!) - they're getting a lot of positive buzz from what I guess I'll call the "indie comic book" crowd (SLG's traditional niche) and it will be interesting to see what SLG makes of it. It is interesting to me that long-time webcomic creators and publishers are moving back away from such transactional models a more traditional print publisher is jumping in.

Gabe Strine was interviewed by the Spokesman Review about his book, Bodinski's Blog, his comic Brinkerhoff, and more.

The nominees for the Ignatz awards are out and up for the Outstanding Online Comic category are:

• A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible by David Hellman and Dale Beran
• Claviger by Ronnie Casson
• Micrographica by Renee French
• Perry Bible Fellowship by Nicholas Gurewitch
• Thingpart by Joe Sayers
  

Renee French's entry was published on Serializer.net (and nowhere else as far as I can tell). Since serializer.net is still down hopefully publisher Joey Manley can give Ms. French a link to a temporary locaton for the comic.

Hi all! My name's David and I'm a relative newcomer to the world of webcomics. My drawing skills are sub-par, and they held me back from webcomic production for years, but this year I've finally taken the plunge with a completely different approach to the art. I started publishing Crimson Dark in June and so far I'm pleased with its progress (though I know I still have much to learn).

And so it continues! A new page of Lighten Up!, BVC's re-dubbed spoof of its very own epic graphic novel "Shades" has been posted ... and just in time to brighten up your Friday, too!

All you have to do now is decide what to do next: start at the beginning, check out Shades first or just jump straight to the latest page here. Decisions, decisions!
