Dr. Haus returns with a monologue on how to create the perfect fantasy webcomic, using Wayfarer's Moon by Jason Janicki and Leigh Kellogg as an example and abusing the fourth wall in the process. Read on to find out how to create your own great fantasy world.

It’s coming…

Webcomic Beacon #25 - Community Showcase: TWCL Forums


Episode 25 - Podcast Failure & Community Showcase!: Fes, Tanya, and Aaron face difficulties in organizing a forum approach on Skype, as we have members of The Webcomic List Forums on the show! This is an experimental episode. We hope to bring Community Showcases, more structured, in the future!

Guests include: Dutch of School Spirit, EvilCouch of World’s Worst Webcomic and your mother, Glen of The Many Moons of Astra, Marko of Roomies, and Nismorak of The House of Madness.

Mark Savary also talks a bit about minimalist comics while reviewing Luz. No Impression this week, but we have the Strip Fight Weekly, Ringside Update! One milestone this week: Gordian Algebra hits 100 strips. Also World’s Worst Webcomic will be hitting 400 strips. Hey, I probably missed this before but Angry D. Monkey hit 4 years a couple weeks ago.

Scaling Back a Bit


All right- with work as crazy as it always is this time of year, I put up a pretty small update for this month and I'm planning on putting up a four page update next week instead of my usual six page update. I'll probably keep updates at four pages for a while until I get my buffer back up.

Now that the comic is back up and running for a few months, my question is, do you like the monthly updates in one chunk, or would you rather I just post one a week?

Weekly Blood Red


I had this idea that Fawn and Zarp would eventually come together and have a series of adventures. But alas the idea is too problematic for me. They simply exist in different contexts for different reasons in different comics...yet in the same universe.

Artists are fucking weird.

Alright, that's more like it!


I have a buffer again, good until Mid-June. That's four weeks, during which I'm planning to create and post eight weeks worth of updates.

The Shamless Self-Promotionn Sunday idea looks to have back-fired quickly in a measurable way, so it's history after only one trial.

The political cartoons seem to be falling flat, but a single silly, pointless cartoon I drew got attention and my audience increased. I'm going to explore that more.
