So how do I remove one?

I would love to see some examples of banners people could make for ink..... give it a go.

Is anyone else having trouble with this?

This time around, I'm aiming for one chapter to be complete before I promote the book to anything more than a few forums and circles (right now, I'm pushing a few sample pages here and there to gauge community feedback). The first chapter clocks in around 10-11 spreads (in print, 20-22 pages). Too much? Too little? Thoughts?

NSFW comes in many shapes and sizes, and varying degrees-- it could mean anything from "Rated T" to..  well..  porn. So how do you let your readers know just how far you go, while not being too terribly long winded? Or if you DO go so far, once or twice, how do you communicate it to your readers without giving them the expectation of NSFW content on a regular basis?

For that matter, do you even bother with content warnings at all? So much internet content is read-at-your-own-risk anyway, that warnings don't seem to be generally expected like they are with media like movies or videogames. What about context clues? Are there certain indications on a comics site that denote a certain target age-group, in the same way that, say, late-night television is assumed to be for adults?

I'm very curious to hear how other creators approach this issue; and what, as comics readers, you may have come to expect with regards to it.

Last week, after putting it off for years (and being told to learn how to draw) I finally put up my first web comic. It's an autobiographical comic about my life and the stupid shit I do on a day to day basis and how my wife reacts. My biggest problem (aside from the technical web problems) is the whole "why should I care?" thing when there are thousands upon thousands of webcomics out there. Well my answer is usually "dick and fart jokes are always funny" but it goes more than that. 

I could rant on-and-on but I won't. 

I'm glad to finally be a part of this community and not just a consumer.

My name is Gary Cohen and I am the writer and creator of a comic called Mallville Rules.  The first thing you need to know is it's a funny super hero comic.  A lot of the comedy deals with comic book traditions and tropes.  But it's an original storyline. The comedy ranges from smart to silly to unapologetically filthy.

Passing along a heads up from another group, the FTC is making some mew rules. There's a good bit of legalese in here, but there are also some visual examples after a few pages of that. 

Bullet points:

*Be obvious. Communicate how much your merch costs, what it does/doesn't do, and whether it can kill you in the most conspicuous way possible.

*Put your disclaimers as close to your claims as possible.

*Disclose associations (Who you're endorsing, whether you got stuff for free from them, whether you're being paid to put in a good word, etc.) as early as possible.

*Make sure your ad stuff works/is visible on smartphones and tablets, as well as computers.

*Do all of the above BEFORE the consumer is redirected from the ad to the product. (And I believe a website may count as a product, when it's being treated as such)

*Do it BETTER if the product is to be purchased anywhere other than online (i.e. advertising that you'll be selling items at a convention)

We do a weekly superhero satire comic called Damn Heroes. Our protagonist Sebastian is a young man who tries to cut through Hero City going five miles over the speed limit to save some time, gets arrested by an overly-righteous superhero, Captain Righteous, and is now sentenced to one year of community service for five years.

You can see it every wednesday at http://damnheroes.com

The comic is long form, black and white, and told in chapters. It's a serial comedy/scifi/drama story with fairly subdued humor. The art style is intentionally "odd" and we update M-W-F, rain or shine.

Check it out, please! 

That'd be swell if there was such a feature. :D

I was wonder if there was something I could do to repay the favor.

Any questions let me know.

It's young now but it updates Won-Wed-Fri. TAD is about (as you might have guessed) the zombie apocalypes. It's a gag-a-day, four panel strip with some drama infused. I've been a huge fan of the genre forever and this strip is really just my love letter to the old fashioned zombie flick. I hope you guys like it. I also hope to be a useful and helpful dmember of this community. I really dig this service and am floored by some of the stuff I'm seeing out of other artists here. That's all for now :)
