Conventions in 2026
We’re recording this in 2026. We’ve all had convention experience. There’s a lot of things that are shifting in the conventional convention wisdom, maybe things we took for granted, things that we miss from the past, or things that got a little better over the years (maybe??). So let’s talk about the directions things have gone!
Jam Session! What Makes a Webcomic
What makes a webcomic?? If you've supported us on Patreon, then you already know the answer, but today we're letting the secret out into the world! Join our hosts as they talk about what makes a webcomic. And Homestuck.
Extras and Bonus Content
We all know that making the webcomic pages themselves is the main course of our webcomic offering, but there’s lots of reasons you might make extra side content, too! Whether it’s little bonus treats for your most loyal fans, or ways to rope new folks in, the options are endless…. sometimes TOO endless. Let’s dive in!
Protagonists
Protagonists are the main leading characters of your webcomic who drive the story forward, and this can be through either internal arcs of development, external conflicts with antagonists, or both. Whether or not a reader is invested in those main characters can make or break your audience’s engagement with your story, so it’s worth exploring what makes these characters compelling to follow in a long-form webcomic.
Networking
Networking is a buzzword that can feel a little weird to use in webcomics, but what we’re talking about here is basically the concept of connecting with other creators. This can have a lot of benefits, like getting to share opportunities with other creators, helping share your audience with other creators, and generally make the whole process of making webcomics a lot less lonely. But it’s also something that can get a bit awkward if we don’t approach it in a natural or respectful way. So let’s talk about what that looks like!
