Over the past few months, I’ve been logging onto a drawing hangout where we share our screens as we draw. There is no camera or mic. Just a chat and our screens as we scribble away. At first, I wondered how productive this could be. I figured it would be …
In the early 80's, thanks to the success of Halloween and Friday the 13th, a slew of slasher movies was released. There was even a documentary about the glut of imitators that flooded the theaters/video stores for a few years.

I couldn't find a perfect gif for this article but…. let's be real, that's an excellent cutie to see.
This is a really simple article and it kind of relates to my series about how to handle stepping back from your comic, but instead it’s about how to work WITH …
One of the greatest power of webcomics is that a lot can be said with an image, thus making the need for words minimal. The old 'picture is a thousand words' adage, and so on.
Through the power of imagery, and what we choose to add or leave out of …
In comics, as in life, characters will come and go in your story. However, how does one go about introducing them in an organic way? Sticking the landing of character introductions can make or break how memorable they are. So here are three things to consider when introducing a new …
