Want to know how long a Webtoon is in real life?

@newjasonhorn Living the freakin’ dream, dude!

Waking up with gratitude every day.

IT’S RELEASE DAY! I can’t believe Klik Klik Boom is finally here and on shelves. Our main character is someone people haven’t seen before in comics and I can’t wait for people to meet her. Stop by your local comic shop to check out what we’ve created!

@OhHeyDJ They play the title loading-noise when you look at the bill

[Jason Horn @newjasonhorn]

What if I told you that in a week I started and finished a new 14 page all-ages comic using a public domain bear who loves honey for #HeroesCon? What if I told you I made custom leaf transfer prints for all the covers? What if I then sealed it in wax with a bee stamp? Crazy?

[James Kochalka @the_kochalka]

The illustration standards are too high in comics today. You can’t make a living drawing that slow and putting that much goddam work in. Slap that shit out fast and sloppy. Embrace chaos and speed.

[Kevin Burkhalter @KevBurkhalter]

I’ll be watching this closely as it develops. Love to all my DH friends!

Truth

[Kevin Burkhalter @KevBurkhalter]

Ian was my friend. He would love the #ComicsBrokeMe movement. He would be yelling the loudest. Let’s do it, but be kind. Always.

[Kevin Burkhalter @KevBurkhalter]

It’s normal to be broken by your job. But #ComicsBrokeMe seems a deeper kind of break. Anybody trying to make comics LOVES comics. Like LOVE-love.

#ComicsBrokeMe
10 years ago, my graphic novel WON the Eisner Award. Why have I not created a follow-up book? Well, after finishing our book, my co-author and I were broke. I went back to work for a bakery. My co-author was homeless for a while. Our GN didn't make us roylaties.

[Kevin Burkhalter @KevBurkhalter]

@Danielirizarri Don’t we need leaders?

[Rachel Roberts @SpookyBoberts]

I never worked with Ian, but I loved his work and by all accounts he was an amazing person and a super talented artist. This industry isn't fair. Rest in peace, friend.

Editor pro-tip: creating comics is not one-size-fits-all. 🧵

Perfection is a myth!

@kwanzer @HeyJJLopez Truth. And… looking for the hardest core comics pros?

Find the ones with the fewest tweets, the fewest videos, the fewest followers, and the most out date websites. Comics creators don’t boast, and they don’t brag about sales. They barely have time to take care of themselves.
