Last night I had an interesting conversation with one of my favorite creators (you know who you are) about what makes a webcomic (or comic, or movie, or book, anything applies) preachy. Preachy as in trying to force an agenda, or ideology, or outlook down the audience's throat whether ...

I'm still rewatching Star Trek the Next Generation, slowly, and Better Call Saul as well. Both are a treat, and they use pretty much opposite types of continuity. Or close to it -
Next Gen was made in the 80's and early 90's. At the time, the decree ...

I've started a few webcomics at this point, and all of them are ongoing…well, at least in theory.
There's always the question of where to start. What's page one gonna be?

Kind of ...
