We Like to Party! (The Vengabus) By The Vengaboys

A synopsis is one of the most powerful tools we have for hooking potential readers into our story. But sometimes summing up your big ideas into an understandable, compelling short statement is really challenging!  So we’re here to break down!

Webcomics can come to a stop for a whole host of reasons. BUT if everything goes to plan, you will reach the end of your story! Today we discuss what it takes to tie up those loose ends and cross that finish line!

With the explosion in popularity of video platforms online comes new opportunities to create, promote, and experiment with your webcomic. This week we discuss how video content can help support your webcomic journey and some of the challenges that come with it.

In todays episode, the cast brings their Hottest Take Yet, and its one that's been impossible to ignore if you have been anywhere online these days. It's AI! AHH! We discuss what AI and Generative AI are trying to change about making comics, and why they aren't nearly as helpful (or wanted!) for the webcomic making process.

Patreon is a site where you can get your readers to financially support you on a subscription model.  You make an account on patreon.com, send your readers over to give you any amount per month they want, and you can post bonus content for your readers that’s either free to access OR behind a paid tier.  It can be a really nice way to put a little money in your pocket, but it’s also really easy to overwhelm yourself, too, so we’re going to talk about what we’ve learned about navigating it!

Time for something completely different! This week, we talk about some of the webcomics we read in our spare time and enjoy, so come and take a listen and refill your reading lists!

This episode is not for the faint of heart. We’re talking to the creators that have decided they want to make a webcomic at all costs and are ready to put in the work! Webcomics require so many hats and unless you’re part of a team, you’re wearing all of them. Discipline is what will help you stay organized, push through the less enjoyable parts of webcomicking and ultimately help you bring your idea to fruition.
