I’m going to skip the rest of the Part II: A History of Webcomics because a history lesson that only goes back 20-something years without any violent conflict is pretty boring (admit it! If there were no gory reenactments, you’d never watch the history channel!) . So, I’m going to dive into Part III, admittedly [...]

Webcomic Mirror Sites as a Means of Free Advertising
Branching out to different places to display your webcomic is always a good thing. Most places we branch out to are free webcomic hosts or places like Deviant Art. Having a mirror site with the majority of your archives is always a smart thing to do should your main site be inaccessible for a day [...]
What is a CMS, and WHY do I need it? (Part I)
Occasionally I still come across a comic with a hard-coded archive. This makes me very sad. Very, very, VERY, sad. Perhaps, if your comic is under 20 pages at completion, I could understand coding each archive page by hand, but when I come across a comic with 50+ pages, and the creator is complaining about [...]
Scott Kurtz to Represent Webcomicdom at Harvey Awards
I’ve never been one to follow award ceremonies, whether they be the Oscars or the Eisners, or in this case, the Harvey Awards. Depending on your viewpoint of the Half Pixel guys (who published the book How to Make Webcomics, which not everyone agreed with), Scott Kurtz of PVP representing webcomics at this comic award [...]
On the Importance of Having an Update Schedule…
Sometimes you’ve been making webcomics so long you forget about how little you knew when you started. Yeah, so what if you can make comics? So what if you can make the site? How do you go about putting both those aspects together to create a successful webcomic model? A huge, huge part of gathering [...]
Chapter 10 Part II Excerpt
Here is an excerpt from Chapter 10 – Face to Face – Part II. Once I pass chapter 9, all chapters are split between 3 locations and 3 different sets of characters, hence the “parts.” This excerpt features Caspian and U’hano, that latter of whom is a new character, and the former who first appears [...]
The Art of Webcomics post 6
I’m skipping a little bit ahead here to Part II: A History of Webcomics. I’d like to say here that this information was as accurate as I could determine from what materials were available. Obviously, there aren’t many books on webcomics yet. Click here for an explanation on the Art of Webcomics. ———- Part II: [...]
A Review of DrunkDuck (as a host)
I’m going to approach this review in the same way that I approached the review of ComicGenesis. Here’s the same scenario: you have a comic you’re working on, right now, on your desk, and you want to make it a webcomic. The only problem is, you have no idea how to put it online. You [...]
Tony Piro's Ad Service Review
Yes, yes, I’m very late with my next webcomic host review. Life is crazy, bad crazy, great crazy, fun crazy, all at once! And due to that craziness, you won’t have an article by me for another day or two… …but I have something better instead! Those of you who found my Advertising 101-404 articles [...]
