Kris, I think you guys are fighting a losing battle. Remember, a lot of those same guys wouldn’t allow “webcartoonists” into the National Cartoonist Society– but those same guys sure want to know how it’s being done. If you gave them a cookie cutter plan to follow, they’d still say it was make-believe.

I’ve been constantly refreshing that thread all day, and I’m still confused as to what the central question/conflict/concern is. I’ve read the posts from both sides, and, call me biased, but the posts from the webcomic folks are more intelligent and less ambiguous, but the other side is either not getting it, refusing to get it, or operating on a different plane of existence.

I’m trying to be civil over there, but it’s hard. I’m losing a lot of respect for our distinguished counterparts. The blindness displayed is no less than willful, and it fills me with an abiding shame.

I don’t want it to be “print vs. webcomics,” but pro-web arguments are met with “yeah, but that won’t work” in spite of enormous evidence that it is currently working.

Thanks for posting! I’ve been trying to think of ways to get the indie game design community and the webcomic community together for a while (they are similar in a lot of ways: bootstrappy independent artists working over the internet) and this one seems to be taking off.

If people have questions, I encourage you to e-mail me (at taogames@gmail.com or gamechef08@gmail.com) and ask.
