The Webcomic Beacon

Since 2007, webcomics topics, interviews, news and discussion.

[Webfiction World @WebfictionWorld]

I'd love to do something with "Webfiction World", but I don't have the time. I'm willing to part with the URL and Twitter handle to anyone/anyones that could make a Webfiction World podcast again.

[Hello, World Stage! @HelloWorldStage]

So someone long ago grabbed "helloworldstage-at-gmail", when I was trying to do stuff with the name. Anyone know who has it? I'd like to get it.

[Lauryn Ipsum @LaurynIpsum]

I’m cropping these for privacy reasons/because I’m not trying to call out any one individual. These are all Lensa portraits where the mangled remains of an artist’s signature is still visible. That’s the remains of the signature of one of the multiple artists it stole from.

@julesrivera I kinda want it. -@fesworks

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@julesrivera What? This is great!

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

Say...
What's been going on with Webcomics since we left? Who's the voice(s) of Webcomics these days? Any prominent reviewers? Podcasts? Tubers?

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@KurtSasso @ravenfell @ScreenTonesCast I always used to call The Webcomic Beacon the "Biggest, Oldest Continually-Running, General Webcomics Podcast" to technically beat out other podcasts about webcomics :P

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@LongTallJodie Hey, we've not been gone for THAT long! ... I think....

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

I've not kept up with webcomics, and my bookmarks have been getting smaller and smaller as many end or go on Indefinite Hiatus.

Though I've been finding Webcomics on Tumblr and Webtoon and Tapas.

I kinda wanna get back into the comic reviews again... thinking about vtube style

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@KurtSasso @ravenfell @ScreenTonesCast I was thinking about trying to make some sort of comeback, but I feel I'm too out of touch. Seems we've gone into a "Webcomics 3.0" now with the greater proliferation of webcomic presenting apps.

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@KurtSasso @ravenfell @ScreenTonesCast Y'all still going?!

[Two Geeks Talking @KurtSasso]

@ravenfell @WebcomicBeacon @ScreenTonesCast *cough* *cough*

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@Sagesaga Yeah, seems like we've hit "Webcomics 3.0" with the app-based sites, and Patreon based stuff for "higher end" cartoonists. I feared a loss of peer communities.

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

Hey gang. Where are you hosting your webcomic these days? (Please specific with a reply, too!)

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

Thinking about how to get the old podcast up again... without the main website and the vision I once had for it. For archival purposes. No time to maintain a WordPress site. Thinking about converting to YouTube videos (static image for video)

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@Sagesaga I hear all of that! We've been out of the loop for years, and considering dipping toes back in. Are there any webcomic forums/creator communities still active, do you know?

[The Webcomic Beacon @WebcomicBeacon]

@tonywolfness Not really? It might be tied to the Facebook and Tumblr for auto retweets, but I've not done anything with the show/website to use this. but I'll sometimes retweet. @FesWorks isn't really active on twitter, but will usually reply here and there.
