ComicLab Ep 52: What worked (and what didn’t) in 2018

Webcomics pros Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar look back over another year in webcomics and discuss what worked really well — and what didn’t.

BUT FIRST, Dave marvels over the British idiom, “hard cheese,” and that leads to a discussion of British humor in general.

Show notes

  • 05:00 — 52 ComicLab episodes in 52 weeks — thanks to our Patreon backers!
  • 08:00 — Dave and Brad disagree on buffers
  • 11:45 — “Webcomics is constantly evolving… so we need to be constantly questioning”
  • 14:40 — Adapting to mobile
  • 16:45 — “Quitting comic conventions improved my webcomics business”
  • 22:17 — Planning saved Dave from a potentially disastrous year

  • 30:10 — Making better hiring decisions
  • 36:16 — Crisis management for creators
