It's tough finding webcomics that are suitable for the classroom. I think I may have to create a list and post it on my site for other teachers. Most of the stuff I read and personally enjoy just doesn't work with kids, especially EFL learners. Can't imagine what they'd make of Sam & Fuzzy, although I'd bet they'd get a kick out of Fuzzy's "friend", Roger! :D Thanks for the Jellaby recommendation.

A heavy skew towards the authors. We realize that most of the value comes from the clever tweet, therefore most of the proceeds should go to the author.

Right now, we don't have much else figured out yet, all we know is that its not right to print someone's tweets without permission, and $0.50 royalties don't seem fair. At this point, we still need to source a printer, finish the website, and work out some other details. We're currently planning on splitting the profits 70/30 with the tweet authors, but don't know how much that will break down to. Thanks for the shout out to Fair Trade Tweets!

I was just thinking the same thing today. I was reading "Moneyball," and realized nothing the press says about baseball is right. Then I was reading "Blink," and realized all discussions about police brutality are oversimplified. And it goes on and on. I guess it's a good thing that eventually blogs will take the place of most newspapers. At least they are written by experts in their respective fields. That’s funny that you say that Eliza.

I'm happy to see it become a Walloper and hope that more people read it! Oh my goodness, The Secret Knots is so wonderful, my only complaint is that there isn’t more of it.
