Webcomics intervention

This post was contributed by Scott Kurtz.

This is an intervention.

 Your webcomic is horrible. The characters are poorly drawn. The writing isn’t very clear. The concept has been done before. The entire piece is lacking a distinct and unique voice. There’s no cohesion. No consistency. No distinction between characters.

It’s awful. It needs work. And most importantly, it’s not ready to be monetized yet.

This is your first day of rehab. This is your first group session. We’re all in a circle and it’s important that each of us take turns admitting that we’re focusing too much on the web part of webcomics. You have a problem. The first step is admitting it.
