Best of Webcomics.com: Sept. 2013

If you're not a member of Webcomics.com, here's some of the great stuff you missed out on last month.

Usually, I tell you to join today and stop missing. But now, for the first time ever, you can read some of the actual content from this site without a membership. The Webcomics Handbook, my sequel to the seminal How To Make Webcomics, is available as a digital download. It's entirely based on my posts from Webcomics.com and guest posts from members. You can get yours here. For that matter, you can finally get How To Make Webcomics as a digital download, too.
