Eeks!
So, comics artists, how do you DRAW “cold”?

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Dec. 18, 2017
(The idea of this post piggybacks on Tantz's article on Net Neutrality, which was inspired by Jillyfoo's forum thread on the same topic. Jillyfoo coined the phrase “planting the worry seeds” in the forum post in order to consider the worst possible outcome.)

Knowing what you Write
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2017Last week we talked about “writing what you know” … but how about ‘knowing what you write’? I knew I wanted to do this one as soon as I posted the previous article…just for the title.

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Nov. 27, 2017
Does anyone remember the early days of the Internet in the mid-nineties, where a majority of online interactions took place on and Internet Relay Chat (IRC)? I was only ten years old when I was first connected, and it did not take me long to learn that saying 10/f ...
