Great feature. The web scene is the only positive thing in comics now. All the job loss postings are depressing. The Webcomic news is almost always good stuff.

Great news indeed, especially since I humbly draw a webcomic.

This is great news — also, very glad to learn of the Webcomics Weekly podcast.

No problem, Alan. Rest assured, I wasn’t trying to plug the WW podcast.

As both a listener to the WW podcast AND a follower of this site, I had a genuine moment of confusion when I first read your headline. It was one of those “cognitive dissonance” things, where my brain tried to envision you partnering with Halfpixel on a news feed, cramped, and then rebooted.

I’m not sure how many actual human beings will have this problem, but I know that Webcomics Weekly is listened to by lots of webcartoonists who would also benefit from following The Daily Cartoonist. No matter where this industry takes us in the next decade, we can only benefit from sharing information.

Apologies to Howard. It was I who didn’t read carefully enough. I missed word swap between “Webcomics Weekly” and “Weekly Webcomics” in your suggestion. Sorry if I offended you in my reply.

Not a big deal or anything, but I do think there’ll be a little confusion with the name as-is, especially since it seems to make a little more sense as “The Weekly Webcomic News Roundup” anyway.

Thanks for doing this Alan, I’ll be interested to see your take on the scene. Most of the news we get is from “inside” as it were with inside opinions. Looking forward to it.
