I need some help deciding which platform to sell my comic PDFs on. 🙋‍♂️

I have a Gumroad store that I opened years ago, but would some other platform suit my themes better (mental health, LGBT+...)? I have the image itch.io for example has lots of content like this and users interested in them.

When I write comics, I write the dialogue last (usually).

This's a method I picked up relatively recently because I found I got stuck in what the characters say, not what happens and how it should feel. IMO dialogue is a servant to action/emotion.
if u see this, quote-post with your tips for writers that no one gives anymore because they seem obvious (even though they're not)

To buy an iPad for digital drawing or not?

I have a Wacom, but I have to sit at my desk if I want to draw digitally... An iPad would give me more freedom.

I could take it when I travel, to a café or library...

My first time participating in #hourlycomicday!

I only started drawing in the afternoon, but it seems I'm not the only one, so I guess it's fine. 😆

Throwback to 2017! 🤪

If you're not familiar with these guys: they're from my first ever long webcomic called BSandL, and you can check it out on Tapas and Webtoons (scifi/drama; it's a completed series).

Today's behind-the-scenes Patreon post started with an exciting announcement...

I can tie my hair into a ponytail! 🥹

That's nothing to do with the post's content, but it's kinda relevant!

Let's get to know Anna-Melinda better! She's Lissa's best friend and roommate, and we met her in the newest episode of In Suitable Conditions.

She's a teacher student and very involved in student activities.

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

Will artists be able to use their skills as a quality stamp - "all hand-drawn/painted, no AI used" - and therefore be able to hike up prices? What do you think?
This "shut up and get onboard or get left behind" mentality of execs makes me want to crab walk up the walls and hiss from the ceiling

Today's the first day that Apple is gonna charge a 30% fee on folks pledging to creators via the iOS Patreon app, so remember to pledge on desktop or Android because that's a load of horse shit

Alt text is good to have, but I wish when people advocated for it they included hints at best practices too. I found this link last time I asked about this: accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-con... Don't write overly-wordy descriptions, that is actually unhelpful and annoying to sit through.
