So we have to whore our comics out to become professionals.
No, you have to pay for advertising slots just like anything else, be it books, tv, games, music, etc, for it to get noticed by the mass media.

Otherwise your comic is 1 of 3000/4000 some hosted on comic genesis.

Hell, a day's advertisement on "Something Positive" or "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" will do wonders.

But ya gotta pay for it.

w00t! Congratulations, Starline!
This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.
Oh noes! Read all about the tormented artist I am!

I gave that one a try a month or so back...meant to go back to it but haven't got there yet...it was definitely improving during the period I was reading though. I don't see all the fuss over the main character though...but I guess I'm not late teens or early tweens anymore either, eh?
I agree, I don't understand all the fuss over Gort either. Gracious no! Komiyan love is where it's at. :D
Heck, I don't get it either. He's meant to be a jerk, yet everyone's all YAY JERK!

But, uh, I don't see myself being snarked :) Thanks for saying so, though :D

I got some pants like that. Every time I sit down, the zipper drops.


I guess there are times when that might be convenient, though...

Did anyone else think of the sketch "Landshark" from SNL via the title here?

Now that was a good sketch.

Only on the first part. I'm paying for my bandwidth and I'm as unprofessional as they come. You're lucky to get words in the order right with me.
