Adam Felber Webcomic


Adam Felber, blogger and guest on NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" quiz show has posted another topical webcomic entitled "Bush N' Rummy in the Sunny Triangle" on his site Fanatical Apathy.

Work size


Here's a question for those of you who hand-draw: What size is your original? Do you work on regular US Letter paper, or larger?

Mine are drawn at 13"x4.5" -- on 11x14" Bristol board. Which means I need to scan in two passes and stitch the files together in Photoshop. I know that syndicated cartoonists work larger than that.

Anybody who works at a larger size, how do you handle scanning? I'm always looking for tips.

What Iain Hamp is Reading


Iain Hamp is a contributing columnist to Comixpedia and creates the webcomic Darwin's Complex.

1. Felaxx by Amy Kim Ganter. Just a fun, crisp story with solid artwork (plus I’m a sucker for stories of people from modern society entering bizarre fantasy environments).

2. 10 Commandments by Derek Kirk Kim. Derek is a wonderful creator and a stand-up young chap.

3. Pants Press. There is not a member of Pants Press whose work I don’t aspire to.

4. Todd and Penguin by David Wright. Just. Plain. Cute.

5. E-Sheep by Patrick Farley. It’s a close toss up between Patrick Farley and Drew Weing as the person I would say is doing the most phenomenal webcomics today.
