Friday Archive Dive: Convention Tool Kit

Today's Archive Dive, from June 11, 2010, discusses the convention tool kit -- all of the stuff you're liable to need as you plan to exhibit at a convention.

Mailbag: Copy/Paste Cheating?

I'm grappling with whether or not it's "cheating" to continually borrow from my own archive to copy and paste a character's head, a scenario, etc.

With the exception of using repeated panels for comedic effect, is this cheating?

If I could overcome this feeling of cheating, I could probably publish twice a week instead of once, but I'm concerned how it will be perceived by readers of the archive.""hey, he's used this layout before, with a different gag").
