Dustin Harbin gives his 2 cents on how a comics award should be organized. He’s got some great insights and, frankly, many other awards should heed his advice.
Godzilla by James Stokoe! →
bowtiemoustache:
“I got completely stumped trying to figure out what the sound effect for Godzilla’s trademark roar would be, so I looked up what it looked like run through an oscilloscope and just traced over that with some vague lettering.”
Possibly the best idea for comics sound effects that I have ever seen.

Do you support webcomics? Take this one question survey:
1. Do you take the RSS feed of over 90 webcomics, rip the images, put them in your Android app, and then put your own advertisements next to them in order to make money?
Congratulations: If you said “Yes”, then NO, YOU DO NOT SUPPORT…

You don’t have to be a great draftsman to make comics; I think solid storytelling is more important! Drawings will improve with each page.
Sometimes I get hung up trying to make each panel perfect— I try to remind myself people will only look at it for a few seconds!
Every day I try to draw…

Sam Weber: Seoul Workshop →
vesperwood:
My trip to Seoul was without a doubt one of the most moving and interesting experiences of my life. I’ve had strange, tertiary interactions with Korea, through food, students and weird picture books. Although I couldn’t say that I possessed any true false impressions, nothing really prepared…

10 Myths About Introverts

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason...
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Bernie Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Bernie Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?

Bernie Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.
First—if you are in love—that’s a good thing—that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.
Second—There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which...

Meryl Streep’s eery reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady” brings to mind Thatcher’s most famous quip, “there is no such thing as ‘society.’” None of the dwindling herd of Republican candidates has quoted her yet but they might as well considering their unremitting bashing of…
