During a Dec. 10, 2010, taping of Webcomics Weekly (episode #73), Scott Kurtz said the following around the 23:23 mark:

The Harvey Awards are now accepting nominations. Anyone who creates a comic (that’s you) may nominate fellow creators / titles for the different categories. They have a new, online nomination form, in addition to their traditional downloadable PDF that you can print out and snail-mail in. Just scroll to the bottom of the digital form.

As we’re heading towards the deadline for federal and state income tax, here’s a handy resource for all of those questions that tend to pop up as you’re sorting through documents. The U.S. Small Business Administration Web site is a treasury of information, but even more helpful is a forum in which you can post specific questions and receive direct answers.

Q.: I applied for a Project Wonderful ad box last night, and now I’m having misgivings. I wanted to hop on the ad train for a good handful of reasons:

My original lede for this piece went like this:
Mark it down in the history books. March 11, 2013 was the day that Webcomics-as-we-knew-it ended.
But, having written in this space since 2009, I’ve learned my lesson about doing that. What happens is people read the first sentence, thgen proceed to run in circles, screaming, without bothering to read the rest. So let’s skip the hysterics and dissect the meaningfulness of yesterday’s events for independent creators on the Web.
In case you missed it, here’s what happened:

Due to popular demand: We’re going to critique convention-booth set-ups. To participate, please provide the following in the Comments section below:
*No drawings or sketches, please. I wanth to discuss real-world situations only.
An earlier post got me thinking… how would folks like us approach a convention differently? This may end up being little more than a thought experiment, but I find myself being approached by people who run conventions who want to know the answer to that question. Together, we might be able to sway some decision-makers. So, what do you think? … How would you do it better?
This is the final installment in the Web Design Hot seat. Same rules as all of the Hot Seat critiques. I’ll discuss the participant’s work and then open the conversation up to the group at large. Each header contains a link to the comic’s Web site, and each image is a thumbnail you can click to see a larger version of the image.
In terms of a review, here are the basics I’m looking for in site design:

Q. While working on my art this week I’m listening to old WW podcasts, and as I was listening to episode number 4 about conventions it was almost surreal to hear you guys discussing all these varied conventions that no one ever talks about anymore. Heroes, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, etc. In fact, at one point there was even a Webcomic Weekend convention!
I remember back at that time like 2005-2008 it seemed like conventions were a cornerstone of the webcomics market. In contrast, it seems like now there are only two or three conventions that are really vital for webcomic artists anymore, and in truth these big cons are almost too expensive and seem very high risk for most creators.
Now I realize that part of that was the tough economy, but is there a real chance that conventions no longer bring any real value to creators? Do you think they’re going to make a rebound or is it just a lost entity? Or, maybe the way we approach comic cons needs to change?
