ComicLab Ep. 35 — Special guest Dylan Meconis discusses longform comics and developing a critical eye

Webcomics wardens Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are joined this week by “The Long Con” writer, Dylan Meconis. They discuss ways in which an artist can improve their critical eye. NEXT, a listener asks whether a creator should have one, central Patreon campaign — or should they split them among different projects? THEN, the trio brainstorms strategies to integrate new readers into an ongoing longford comic. FINALLY, Dave and Brad announce their plans to attend the Patreon convention, PatreCon, in November!
BUT FIRST, when Brad takes his kids to the Huron County Fair, they learn a lot about rural life.
