ComicLab Ep 22 — Cartooning advice for beginners, DRM-free PDF strategy, and storyline-driven comic strips

Great news! We have a DISCOUNT CODE for Bonjoro — exclusively for our $5+ Patreon backers! NEXT: Dave and Brad drill deep on the ubiquitous DRM-free PDF. We discuss what it is, why we use it, and how to best implement it. THEN: We grapple with one of the great mysteries of life — If we could time-travel back to talk to ourselves in our 20s, what advice would we give? FINALLY: If you’re doing a comic strip that incorporates a storyline, you should be doing a longform comic instead.

BUT FIRST… As the rest of his family is waiting for him to come home to start a camping trip in the Poconos, Brad makes a mistake that has him sitting in his bank’s branch office for several hours, sweating bullets.
