I might be breaking into open doors, here, but I'm convinced truth and clarity shouldn't be opposed to eachother. In Scott McCloud's view the basic elements of "high comicing" are FORM and CONTENT: When you create what is considered ART, either you have a message about the medium*, or have a message...

Can I change my "username"?
I'm known to this forum as "Yingo", but as a comics artist I've started using the name/pseudo "InkAddict".
Is there any way to change it? (My site will be called InkAddict, and at my blog I sign as InkAddict…)

Back online! Back in business!
A big hello to everyone! I've been a rabid contributor to this forum for a while, and lost track some time ago (busy finishing my studies, finding a job, then lost my internet connection for about 6 months) but I'm back! I'm trying to set up my website which will eventually host my comics, and my "s...

...and... (because I've had similar questions once )... a "weblog" is something like an online journal, regularly updated (not my case yet, though), so they have to be easily updatable, and can even be a "joint effort", as with the mother of all blog communities, Metafilter

EASY & CHEAP solution to get your own comics online
I'm starting this comic because I found out how to publish my comics and it has taken me some pains and nervous breakdowns no-one has to go through. First of all: "webspace" I've tried a number of free hosting solutions, and never got my site "off the ground"... Main reasons: *Some hosts are just "h...

However, with the baby on our way, we have lots of childrens books that will perhaps re-educate her to read comics better. At least I'm glad "pictures" are no longer seen as a "shortcut" to "actual reading"... I used to hear quite a few people say that "comics" tend to turn people (at least slightl...

I find that with most comics, there is a "set" of rules you just follow, and it's more the "habit" of following the same rules, that makes you feel "at ease"... As a bigtime comic reader (I used to read *5* *46-page* comics per day for *two* years), I can handle about anything... but now I find I ge...

Some things worth considering:... In the 1910's up to the 1950's, some sports journalists were known to draw small comics in newspapers to explain what happened on the field. The artist who did the first Tarzan comics (forgot his name... Hogarth?) started out like this, I heard... This was mainly be...
