Well take it as a compliment. He’s got the potential to be syndicated if that were his goal. If a successful web comic can be just as good, then go for it. Whatever works…As far as Sherpa goes, I was on Sherpa at one point. It is what it is. I have no shame in having being on it. But the important thing is, I’m not on it any more. Just Kidding!

Thrive. Tank. Who cares? Write what you love and have fun. If you do, you will always be learning and growing as a cartoonist. Don’t worry about the wise cracks from the back of the classroom.

And Dawn, if you talk about Sherpa here it’s REALLY opening up a can of worms LOL.

I disagree, Phil. 99% of the webcomics out there would be passed by the syndicate in today’s market.

The Internet is an entirely different beast and strips that would tank in print can thrive online.

Holy crap. I must be sicker than I thought. I think I just defended webcomics. Maybe I’m channeling Dave Kellet… I am sitting close to a Ouija board right now…

Honestly i think he shoulda come up with another idea and tried again. If Edison stuck with his first light bulb design we’d all be sitting in darkness. He’s a talented guy and it’s only natural to give encouragement , but I wouldn’t press on with something that was rejected by every syndicate..

Why is this comic strip getting so much promotion from The Daily Cartoonist? There are plenty of better webcomics that are just as new and are barely getting mentioned here. Is Daily Cartoonist aware of the Comics Sherpa site? There are a few strips on that site that are actually produced by industry veterans who are quite talented, yet they are being ignored here.

Gill looks like it is shaping up to be a great strip. I like what is there so far and the background story sounds solid. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to it.

Congratulations Norm and good luck.

“I hate not getting paid, but I love to do it, so I do it anyway. I make next to nothing on BL and TOBY, but manâ€¦ When I finish a really well-written week, there is no better feeling.”

I’d have to agree…

Congrats, Norm. Can’t wait to see more.

Congrats Norm. Your writing is always top notch on Retail and the standard is definately maintained in Gill. Always great work.

And Corey, I’m still waiting for super cool Toby merchandise. I’ll be the first in line with gobs of cash in hand.

Congratulations Norm!
I thought it was a well executed comic, it certainly deserves a little time in the sun. I’ve been considering this route myself… if I can work up the nerve.
