Interview with Blank Label Comics

Webcomics crew talks design, promotion and... no pants

Mustachioed maverick Gary Tyrrell over at Fleen.com points us to a fun, insightful roundtable discussion on ComixTalk with the six webcomic creators who make up Blank Label Comics. The interview blends questions from readers with some additional questions from the ComixTalk staff, and touches upon the difficulties of promoting your webcomic, the advantages of forming a collective and the solidarity of going pantsless. (Yes, you read that last bit correctly.) It's as funny as it is enlightening... seriously.

ComixTalk: If I do the math right (and that's not necessarily a good bet) BLC will be entering its third year this coming February. What's different now than when you started this group and are there any lessons you can pass on to others just starting out together.

Greg:I think we're all just a bit wiser, mostly. We've managed to really learn some of the ways we can make this (cartooning) work for us, and we're helping each other accomplish those goals very well.

Southworth: As I said, there's always room for more spooning.

Paul T.: I learned not to eat convention hot dogs.
