Webcomic Beacon #41 - Open Forum #4
Mark Savary joins Fes, Tanya, and Aaron as we just sit back a bit and shoot the breeze about webcomics. We also rag on The Gigcast a bit, but only because we love them! And we are not at all copying them in any way…. no, we’d never do that. Zack of Unamused Comics brings us this week’s cover!
Milestones this week: Cigarro & Cerveja (10 years and ending) and The Far Reaches (200). On the Beacon Searchlight we look at, and give our impressions on Geist Panik. Do you have a milestone to report? Would you like us to give our (positive or negative) impressions on your comic? Send a notice to us at WebcomicBeacon@gmail.com.
Don’t forget the Strip Fight.org Weekly Ringside Update! Mico came in first for Round 173: “Made in China”. Vote now for Round 174: “Arch Enemy”. The deadline to get your entries in for Round 175: “Death” is September 15th! Also, the $10 iTunes Xepher.net Logo Art Contest ends on September 15th!

OH! *Autumn* *Lake* I don’t know why, but it’s sounded like “autolick” to me every time. I’m not afraid of it being a fetish site anymore!

Oops, you spelled “amateur” wrong.
Or does that PROVE this is an amateur podcast?

Hmm, arm looks a bit long, maybe I should’ve slowed down a bit… Thanks for letting me do it though

You fixed it, ya bum!
I think maybe you should have kept it, for irony’s sake.

Good show again. I liked it.
Dresden Codak, hmm…
I’ve not had any issues with the Hob arc right up until that last page. Every other page I’ve understood perfectly (at least I think I have), but that last one completely loses me. I was expecting at least another three or four pages and an ending that was a little less… odd, I guess.
