If you remember this post, you know that my approach to lettering has slowly evolved over the twelve years of my creating a daily strip. I originally did the completely backwards approach of inking the balloon first and fitting the test into the space (Photoshopping when my guess was completely off). Then I started inking full panels, leaving space for word balloons, but adding both the lettering and the balloons digitally after the art was inked.

The third installment of the 2012 Banner Ad Hotseat. Same concept as always: I talk about three banners from participating cartoonists and then open up the discussion to the group. Links to the comics being discussed are in the headers.

In prepping for Baltimore Comic Con, I decided to take a new tactic over my usual process of finding a vendor on the Web — I decided to shop local. After doing a little comparison-shopping, I found a competitive price from a printer that was located within easy driving distance of my studio. Instead of shipping, I opted to pick up the banner from the printer.

Last week, while we were discussing the marketing of all-ages comics, I mentioned that I had done some research on marketing comics to teachers and parents (particularly parents who home-school).

Q.: How do you market to an all ages audience? I’ve had my webcomic printed in newspapers and magazines aimed at kids, and I do some school visits, but haven’t seen a huge uptick in kid readers (as far as I can tell). It’s straight forward enough for me to go to a RPG or D&D group and find people who like fantasy, but it feels like it would be creepy and weird to hang out in forums for kids. How have other cartoonists tackled this? Do they just go for the parents?

You’re probably familiar with the Internet notation tl/dr, which stands for “Too long / didn’t read.” It’s probably fair to say that most of us approach the Terms of Service contracts that we sign with service providers like Facebook and Twitter with a tl/dr attitude… which is why tosdr.org is such a useful site.
