Bryan and Dern from Hello with Cheese were kind enough to work me into their latest comic on Where the Wild Things Are (along with many of my webcomic friends).  That’s me all the way on the right, trying to push my way into the panel.  Why am I all the way out there?  Take it up with Bryan on their site.  CHECK IT.

A while back, @POWCGeek put out on Twitter a call for webcomics to review.  “Why not?” I thought.  Apparently, this is why not.

Three pieces of good news, Systemics!

1.  Ben of Three Panel Opera has interviewed me for a series called “Questions for Artists Who Are Awesome”. Since I embody both artist-ness and awesomeness, it makes for a good read. Go read it now, and while you’re at it read his comic. It’s about kids and their odd imaginary friends that won’t go away.

2.  Go binge our archive. Have you ever felt that seeing almost 300 comics in the archive is just too much to deal with? Have you ever wished there was a better way to dig through that huge archive? Well the wonderful folk at Archive Binge have made it possible to set up a custom RSS feed that lets you start at the beginning, set a pace, and read the entire archive of some of your favorite webcomics. There are some huge* comics like Goats, XKCD, Wondermark, and of course myself. So click on over and sign up.

*Huge in your hearts, not in readership.

3. There is now a Comic Archive page to this here website. Click on over and see all the comics you want, now easily navigatable in some sort of chronological-type order.

A new podcast is up at http://webcomics.mypodcast.com/.  This time, myself, Obsidian (commissionedcomic.com), Reiley (deadwinter.cc) and a special guest near the end deal with the often-toted topic of… Internet Drama!

I don’t think it is the funniest episode to date, but I do think it was interesting and insightful all around.  I encourage you all to get involved in the discussion on the site.  Listen to the episode and weigh in your thoughts!

Heads up, next week is an interview with SMBC’s own Zach Weiner, about all his many projects and the often talked about (but rarely reached) doing comics full time.  It’s already recorded, I just have to drop some production on it.

Rosscott sits down with Tyler and George of the Online Internet Web Comics Show, an online video show about two guys trying to make a webcomic.  We talk about how acting a professional gets you free beer, the best ways to get out of a felony charge, oh and webcomics.  If you only listen to one episode, this might be it!  Link to the post.

SIDE NOTE: I did some different stuff with the audio quality / production. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Howdy, all!  I’m bringing back the podcast.  I’ve been recording new episodes of The Wonderful World of Webcomics with a rotating cast, and here’s an episode recorded a while ago but I figured I might as well post it.  The show is not on any sort of schedule as of right now, but you can enjoy it and subscribe and I’ll be posting more about it here when it comes out.  Oh, and it’s embedded below. Enjoy!

I’m going to be posting 2 or 3 different recaps of Connecticon, because it would not all fit in one post unless that post was really really long.  Nobody wants that, so here we go.  This one is all about Saturday, between 5pm and 8:30pm.

First up was a little event known as Super Art Fight.  SAF has been a little project of mine and some local webcomics friends, and Connecticon was the biggest show yet.  Through some sheer cohones and conniving on our part, we managed to get some of the most amazing webcomic artists in the biz, which was also a great chance to get to know some amazing webcomic artists that I hadn’t otherwise gotten to know.  You can see all details in this post on the SAF site, and let us know if you have pics or video of the event.  Or just let us know if you were there or heard about it or whatever.

The second big event pretty much speaks for itself.  Check out this video of the beginning of the XKCD / Explosm.net panel which followed immediately after Super Art Fight.

That is part 1 of 8.  The rest is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.  The rest is pretty informative and hilarious, which involves me in a blue jacket, drinking “water” on stage, and telling a few people to shut the hell up.

Honestly, it was a little planned.  After I moderated their panel at Webcomics Weekend, the guys were nice enough to let me moderate this one as well.  Y’know, I thought I wrote about that experience on the site, but I never did.  I meant to, but got so distracted that I just linked to photos of it.  It was a great time for me and them the first time around, so we all did it again.

If you found the site through XKCD or Explosm in some way, write a comment.  For that matter, if you like the panel, post about it.

I’m always curious about what webcomics are on people’s updates.  The other day, I asked on Twitter for people’s thoughts.  Specifically, the ones they read at work.  I collated the list from the respondents, and I got tons of answers.  What have we learned?

• Those who read webcomics all read something like 10 webcomics on average, probably a lot more. In other words, people don’t just read one comic, they read a bunch.
• People read them through RSS, LiveJournal, Delicious, and Bookmarks (no real trends there).
• People who responded (and therefore I can only assume are fans of The System) seem to read a few of the same comics.  Seems like the kind of thing you guys might like to know, since maybe those who aren’t reading them would like to.  With that in mind they follow below.
• Johnny Wander, LICD, Z&F, Do You Work Here, PVP, XKCD, and Surviving Retail.

Well, I think that’s interesting, hopefully you guys do too.  Feel free to post in the comments your favorite comics, which ones in this list you read, or even which ones in this list you dont’ read.

My friend Adie (who has a site but there’s nothing there right now) posted this in her livejournal, and I had to link to it.  It’s a fan comic she did for Watchmen called “Rorsharch’s Birthday”.  Hilarity, begin ensuing.  Link.

This is kinda a two-fer.  Systemic Cyclin’ Missy found her way to a webcomic I’d never heard of before.  “Hey!  I saw this fun webcomic by Surviving the World today.  Check it out!”  I did indeed, and you should too.  This btw kinda makes reference to the foundings of Chippy the Thundercloud.  Link.
