Comrades!

This is a new webcomic celebrating the hardworking brothers and sisters of our revolution---those who spend their days working in the fiery depths of a kitchen cooking and/or torturing political prisoners so we can eat well and work in the iron mines to fulfill our great nation's current Five Year Plan!

It is a superior webcomic to those created by the decadent NATO dogs led by the filthy Americans. There are many stories about our glorious revolution and only more than one update per day can tell them all!

Whoa... this place is pretty dang intimidating. And confusing. Does all this start making sense after a while? I feel like a granny wondering onto the internet for the first time.

Ok, I'm gonna try to post a picture now. Bear with me.

Newsarama has an interview with Crystal Yates who's webcomic Earthsong is being published by Seven Seas Entertainment. Seven Seas also publishes Chugworth Academy and Inverloch.

A little bit about me and what the heck I'm doing here.

 

I'm Clare Phelps, short and saucy little sister of Lucas Phelps, almighty creator of several comics, most notably the previously published "Skritch." We're from Southeast Texas, but I currently live in Cullowhee, NC. Find that on a map. No, really. Please do. I need to know where I am. I'm sort of a junior in college, majoring in math at Western Carolina University. I'm an artist like my brother (learned from the best!), but I haven't done anything in years. There's some of my stuff on Deviant Art still if you're interested. High school stuff. I need to do something new. But yeah, Lucas is pretty much my hero, and that's why I'm here doing this for him.Â

They say it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good and, over at Broken Voice Comics this week, that certainly appears to be true. As Arkan is keen to explain in the latest instalment of The Spires, even a murder can have an upside!

In the latest TalkAboutComics.com podcast, Scott Rosenberg of Platinum Studios, Scott Kurtz of PvP, and Joey Manley (that's me) talk for almost an hour and a half about Hollywood and webcomics.

There is just a teensy bit of yelling. But mostly it's civil, and very (I think) informative.

Not GBuy, but Google Checkout is the name of Google's new payment service. While difficult to speculate in what it will mean for webcomic businesses, the fees are lower than Paypal's which certainly is one argument in favour of Google.

• The Oni Talent Search has been mentioned earlier, but I can't remember if we've linked to this interview about it with Oni Editor in Chief James Lucas Jones.
• The Women Webcomicker Grant Nan has also been mentioned before, but now it has stirred up a bit of a ruckus. The Comic Book Resorces forum seems to be the center of it. I must admit that I didn't think this grant would cause any controversy, but then again by internet standards this may not even qualify for that.
• Flight volume 3 has barely hit the stores and planning is already underway for volume 4. Newsarama has a first look and it appears that the Pants Press Crew is making a comeback in this volume.

I've posted the concluding installment to my second visual adaptation of the John Keats poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci. Now that it's done, I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the comparison between the two. Â

I copied Kristofer Straub and made a movie preview of the book from lulu.com:

Yes. I'm very excited about finally paging through a the finished book. :D
