Here's the Abstract, for the slightly-longer short version.
Black text on a white background that reads as follows: Background Webtoon, a digital form of comics created in the Republic of Korea, has spread widely with advantages that anyone can become a cartoonist and that autonomy of creation is guaranteed. The purpose of this study is to identify the working conditions of webtoon writers and analyze the relationship between these conditions and depressive symptoms. Methods A survey was carried out on webtoon writers and a survey data of 312 webtoon writers were analyzed. The questionnaire included basic socio-demographic characteristics, webtoon writers’ contractual type, fields of activity (webtoon creator, story writer, illustrator), and working environment (labor discretion etc.). We investigated depressive symptoms and analyzed its relation to the work environment of webtoon writers. Black text on a white background that reads as follows: Results Webtoon writers were exposed to long working hours, high labor intensity, limited labor discretion, negative comments from readers, and had a high prevalence of depressive symptoms. Compared to story writers who contracted directly with platforms, story writers and the illustrators who contracted with content providers (CPs) were 9.51 times (OR = 9.51, 95% CI = 1.47 - 61.33) and 6.47 times (OR = 6.47, 95% CI = 1.08 – 38.75) more likely to have depressive symptoms, respectively. Conclusions This study emphasizes the urgent necessity to improve the overall working environment in the webtoon industry and implement measures to tackle the escalating mental health challenges faced by illustrators and story writers contracted with CPs, especially given the increasing popularity of novel comics.

When I work at 1am, things like this happen.

The reason I'm up at 3am is because I made 35 of them.

It's 3am and I'm tired as heck but I made a little zine with a friend and I'm really proud of how it came out and I thought you'd like to see it.

I tried out that "Too Good To Go" app recently to help reduce food waste (and get some good deals on food), and if the one place near me gave over 2 POUNDS of pastries for $5, imagine what sort of amazing deals are near YOU!

Highly recommended.

People who have never heard of Brawl in the Family or Comix Cleric before and are really confused

vs

Those same people who check out the site anyway and like what they see.

Platforms like #Webtoon and #Tapas are already known for becoming overly-corporatized, having poor pay & working conditions for creators, and using AI where it doesn't belong.

Welcome to the club, #GlobalComix!

We're feeling more and more confident about launching #ComixCleric every day. :)
The concept logo for Comix Cleric. The logo shows a orange haired girl in a yellow robe with what looks like comic panels decorating the bottom. She is holding a staff with a speech bubble at the top and a mouse pointer at the bottom. Text underneath of her reads "Comix Cleric" in a stylized logo. This is all on a blue, circular background.

As sites like Webtoon and Tapas keep getting bigger and bigger, consistently putting shareholder interests above the creativity of their platforms' creators, it's clear to see why a project like #ComixCleric is so important.

It's time to put back the "Indie" in "Indie Comics".

We're taking great pride and care to making sure that #ComixCleric is the best #webcomic CMS around. @grawlich.art is doing the majority of the work here and absolutely CRUSHING IT!

We also can't resist joking about what having your own webcomic can feel like at times. We've all been there. 🫂
