As much as I enjoyed Kurtz’s various tangential discussions about character design in PVP and why he didn’t like having both Robbie and Jase as characters together, and the like, a lot of time was spent on those, and that cut back on the amount of information about the business of webcomics that got covered. I think a moderator might have been able to keep things more focused.

The reason I said “longer” as well is because I do enjoy those tangents, and wouldn’t want them eliminated, so I would also want some time for going off into stories and the like, but perhaps shorter bursts and someone who is up there to cut them off after a bit and take us back to the central topic.

Out of curiosity, how would the moderator have helped with the biz panel? It seemed pretty structured to me already.

“Basically, a panel designed around saving up and coming webcomickers from learning things the hard way.”

That wouldn’t be very long. It’d just take one person coming on stage saying “Pay someone to do it for you” and walking off while muttering about year-long delays to get stocks of books and trying to send them to people who have, for all intents and purposes, disappeared off the face of the planet.

I think the Business of Webcomics Panel should have been (A) longer, and (B) moderated.

As for other panels, I would be interested in seeing something on the do’s and don’t’s of webcomics merchandising, from books, to shirts, etc.
