Episode 18 - Guest Strips & Fan Art
Fes, Tanya, and Aaron are in the studio, talking about Guest Strips, Fan Art, and the etiquette that should be practiced around them. We are down all of the rest of our regular contributers this week, we hope to correct that soon! Some changes are slated for the near future, out of necessity.
Webcomic Milestones: American Gothic Daily has hit over 200 strips, Girly will be hitting 5 years online, and Girl-a-Matic has hit 5 years online! Congrats!

STOP CODING YOUR COMIC PAGES BY HAND!
if there is something you want help with just ask.
I can’t get my head around how horrible that could be.

Maybe we should do a show around coding your website? I have text and additional links that accompany MANY of my archived strips…. as far as page generating scripts go, its no possible to do…. as far as I was told.
However, I just finished redesigning Ardra’s archives, Jenny Everywhere and the Crossing Over Worlds archive, and most of the P.S.I. archive… not quite looking forward to redoing them… yet again…
We should set up a show…

Oh dear Fes… it’s possible, it just takes some work setting up.
We definately need to do a show.

Troop 37 (http://www.drunkduck.com/Troop_37) has been doing a “Fan art only comic” for almost a year now. We have not been donating our funds to the March of Dimes but that’s a good idea.
Troop 37 is the first comic I know of to hit on this idea.
As for community showcase you should grab Robin from the Wotch. It is a big comic community.

Wow, this week’s episode was liberally sprinkled with Ardra references…which I guess is understandable, considering that my comic has survived on guest comics on two separate occasions.
Friday marks Strip 100…finally! Sort of…the weird numbering system makes it kind of hard to tell.
