December To-Do List
Tomorrow is the beginning of December. It’s a month dominated by holidays — both preparing for and celebrating them — and it’s the end of the year. It’s probably the most challenging months for a webcartoonist, so let’s get organized.

Comic Aggregator
Another Comic Aggregator site has crossed my radar, so I thought I would pass it along to you. I see an awful lot of familiar titles on the list of supported comics, so it might be worth your time to scan it for yours.
Mind you, I’m not advocating emailing the creator of the aggregator script to politely ask him to remove your comic — although I did, and he kindly complied within the hour.

Good shipping technique ensures that your customers will be happy when their merchandise arrives — and that means you don’t have to eat profits by re-sending books that were damaged in shipping.

On curmudgeons… and growth
In yesterday’s Webcomics Weekly podcast, we discussed, among other things, how our view of webcomics has matured over ten years. For example, I said that I had a different view of comic conventions now than I did when I wrote the chapter on the subject in How To Make Webcomics.*
