Eric (Exiern) joins Fes to discuss ComicPress’ new build, ComicPress Premium. We also end up discussing the “It’s time to pay” model in webcomicking these days. Also a touch of writing vs art. This is an impromptu episode, so this is a bonus for everyone!

I will say that one should decide for themselves what form of WordPress publishing works best for them. Wait for the final details of the “ComicPress Premium” before deciding, since the site is incomplete. ComicPress 2.x will still be supported, as I’m told.

Brett Hainley joins us in our discussion on Net Neutrality. We mostly learn that Fes knows the least about anything, of anyone in the room. STAY IN SCHOOL! … or at least pay attention more… Anyway, this week we had it set up as an Open Forum, where we had a live broadcast using uStream. We hope to do it again next time. We ran out of time for a Webcomic Reviews and Impressions, but we have only one Milestone this week: Mr. Oblivious has hit over 100 comics!

We are currently looking for a new webcomic reviewer for The Beacon. Stay tuned for more information or send us an e-mail asking for details!


Sites mentioned this week: SaveTheInternet.com, Something Positive, Congress.org, HouseOfRepresentatives.gov, and Senate.gov. Also Digital Strips is updating again and thanks to K-Dawg of Angry D. Monkey for showing up in our chat room for the show!
