I’ll be walking through creating vector art using the CorelDRAW set of tools. I am using CorelDRAW 11, but the principals apply to other versions of Corel as well as other scanning and vector software.

Q: Your post about the T-shirts with the preorder link reminded me that I was wondering if any of you had heard of fundable.com? It automates the returning of money if the goal isn’t met. I know a couple of roleplaying writers have used it for preorders of their gaming modules, and it seems legit. Just wondering how you all feel about it. Thanks!

24-Hour Comics Day is Saturday, Oct. 3.
The general idea is to stay up for 24 hours and do 24 consecutive pages of comics during that time. Go to the site for more details. You’ll find many locations are hosting events for the day, but you’ll have to register beforehand if you’d like to participate.
Scott Kurtz’s 24-Hour Comics Day comic from 2006.

Q: The recent spate of flu-induced guest strips has brought back up something I’ve always wondered – what are the politics of the “fine print” of a guest comic? I was just looking at the Tom Brazelton guest strip for PVP, and the fine print is “PVP (c) Scott Kurtz”, “Guest Strip by Tom Brazelton”. Which is fine, but it always seems odd that a lot of guest artists don’t plug their own URL in the comic, and a ton don’t assert copyright over their own work, they accredit the copyright to the owner of the characters themselves, which seems odd. Is there any sort of standard for this sort of thing? Is this negotiated when an artist solicits guest strips (I’m guessing not because the attributions always seem to vary by guest, not by solicitor).

Q: How can you strike a balance between a writer and an artist? As an artist, I’m not so story-driven when it comes to creating something. I want to put the cool ideas down on paper and — BAM! — call it done. My writer, however, wants to write AND control the drawing process to where he lays out the panels in detail, and leaves little of the creative process up to me, making me feel stifled.
Our comic isn’t up yet, but the story has been written for years. How can I set our writer/artist relationship at the beginning so we don’t have to step on each others toes later on?

Q: I recieved an e-mail asking if I would be interested in selling advertising on my website. I replied and said I was interested but would need further details. All they’re asking to do is run some text on my site that links to their site. Should I do it.

So, upon working on the September To-do list, I decided to add an item on doing a readership survey to ascertain the demographics and details of your audience. I listed a site I know that offers a free option, and, not coincidentally, I launched my own readership survey on my own site, Evil Inc.
Imagine my surprise when Captain Fine Print, here, found out — completely by surprise — that the free option expires at 100 responses. More responses is an option of the pay version — at about $20 per month.
