My fellow webcartoonists,
As we come to the end of the first month of the new Webcomics.com, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been an amazing four weeks.
Moving to the subscription model caused an uproar. People could not understand how we could possibly place our site behind a pay wall. The backlash was tremendous.
And so was the support. I can say, without exagerration, that our membership today easily exceeds where I’d expected it to be by a factor of three.

In response to a request for a guide to hand-lettering, I prepared the brief overview below. But, as you’ll soon see, I’m not such a wonderful letterer (especially when you look at my lettering this big). I am, however, a pretty good researcher, and much of this material was gathered when I was preparing to write “The Everything Cartooning Book.”
The amazing Chris Eliopoulos, Webcomics.com subscriber and letterer for Marvel Comics, will be writing a step-by-step guide that will run here in the near future.
