Lay out your book in ten minutes flat

mentioned this in the Private Forum yesterday, but I thought it might help to have a step-by-step guide to importing a batch of image files into a multi-page document. If you're laying out a book, this will save you from having to import each comic (or each page) individually.

Webcomics Weekly #72 - Quittin' Time

This Webcomics Weekly kicks off with two emails written to Kris Straub asking the same question: "Do you think it's time for me to quit my webcomic?" And the answers might surprise you. Throw in more Billy Joel references than a staging of "Movin' Out" and you've got another solid hour wasted listening to these four guys talk webcomics.
