ComicLab Ep 241 — “My friends won’t buy my comics!”

Cartoonists Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar give some advice to a cartoonist whose friends want his comics for free. Is this an entitlement issue? It is… but not in the way he thinks.

  • My friends won’t buy my comics!
  • UPDATE: dinokickstarter.com
