Hey everyone. This week we're doing something special. This is my one-on-one interview with Merlin Mann of www.43folders.com and www.merlinmann.com. We talk about leaving behind scarcity models, being zen about what we take in and finding the time and mindset to be awesome and do the creative work we are so desperate to do.

Join Scott, Dave, Kris and Brad at Comic Con International, July 2009, as they do a special live version of the podcast. They compare and contract the webcomics business model with the failing syndicate system and take questions from the standing-room-only crowd.

Dave, Kris, Brad and Scott discuss the upcoming Comic Con International in San Diego. And headshots.

It's too close to the con to edit, so parents, cover your children's ears! This one did not get the TV-Y7 rating!

Out but not down! Brad, Kris and Dave carry on the tradition with a new edition of Webcomics Weekly.

The boys discuss what applications and tools they use to stay productive, all while savoring the irony of such a subject being attached to a podcast that updates so infrequently these days.

Recorded live at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, WA earlier this month. It's our live Webcomics Weekly panel.

Enjoy this podcast from the Webcomics Weekly archives. It was taped mere minutes before Adsdaq booted a bunch of webcomics from its roster. So the discussion of its usefulness is academic at best. However, there's also a great discussion about whether a 15-year-old cartoonist should reveal his true age. But the true gem comes at the end when we fall down a typical WW rathole around the moustache of Fleen.com's Gary Tyrell.

Dave and Brad discuss their fascination with the English language, Brad's mistrust of Spanish. Then they dive into the mailbag to discuss webcomics' place in academia and how to focus your comic into what it's supposed to be about. Along the way, they anticipate Halfpixel's upcoming appearance in Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con April 4-5 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center.

Live from the New England Webcomics Weekend! Brad, Dave, Kris and Scott talk newspapers, webcomics and more live to a packed room of webcomic readers and fanatics. Hands down, this episode is unanimously our favorite we’ve ever recorded. Not safe for work without headphones. Explicit language.

Scott, Brad and Dave take a trip down Memory Lane and discuss the paths that brought them to where they are. The upcoming Webcomics Weekend is discussed, along with Emerald City Comic Con in April.

Brad and Scott recap the NYCC. A discussion about product presentation at cons quickly devolves into a paranoid examination of how dolls can come to life and kill you in your sleep.

Kris and Brad review their talk in Harvard University. Scott and Brad prepare for New York Comic Con. The guys talk about premium content -- is it the way of the future, or just a way to the future? And the conversation ends with a discussion of Brad's wife, the end of Phables and the Harvey Awards.

The gang discusses the possibility of a black-swan event changing the Webcomics landscape, and what creators should to to prepare for it (if anything).

The crew talk to Jim Demonakos about the Emerald City Comicon and what it takes to start and grow a comic book convention*


*in these troubled times.

It's a new year! Dave, Brad, Kris and Scott discuss their resolutions from 2008, if they accomplished what they set out for the year and look forward into 2009.

Scott sits this one out while Brad, Kris and Dave rustle up some deep webcomics conversation.

This is the lost episode of webcomics weekly, forgotten in time for a couple of weeks. This was recorded before our trip to SCAD. So yeah. not terribly old. It wasn't lost very long.

Dave and Scott return from their talk in Savannah. Reader email on using too much copy & paste.

The last of our www.endicia.com sponsored podcasts. Be sure to visit www.endicia.com/webcomics for a fantastic deal on Endicia postage services. This week, Scott is sick, but we still muster the energy to discuss copyright and turnkey ad systems.

Scott's in Seattle and he wrangles Mike Krahulik of Penny-Arcade.com to come on the show and talk about making comics. Sponsored by  Endicia.com. Visit www.endicia.com/webcomics for a special offer.

Scott has vanished! But Dave, Brad and Kris hit the mailbag and keep things rollin'. Brought to you by Endicia. Webcartoonists, check out a special offer at http://www.endicia.com/webcomics/

Welcoming our new sponsor Endicia.comleads to a discussion of the best ways to streamline your online store shipments. Then we hit the mailbag to answer questions about handing out flyers at events, and working on 2nd strips. Endica.com has been kind enough to sponsor our show this month. They're offering a great deal for new customers looking to set up an online store for their webcomic. Endicia.com is easy for us to recommend because it's what we use for our stores on a daily basis. Be sure to check out www.endicia.com/webcomics for a special offer.

Kris, Brad and Scott discuss a recent "kerfuffle" regarding Scott's post on criticism. Also on this show: Mister Rogers, Guy Smiley, storylines vs. gags and marketing new project to existing readers.

The boys recap their awesome time at the 2008 San Diego Comicon. Fisticuffs, Starfleet Captains, appearances on national TV, car chases, robot invasions, pirates....it's all a part of the zaniness of Comicon.

The boys discuss the importance of answering all your email, when it is and isn't okay to use pen names, the all-or-nothing opinions of our critics and remembrances of Anime cons past.

Lipton Green Tea with citrus, recapping for Brad, the future of mobile comics, comics for the blind and more.

- San Diego approaches and the boys are making final preps. - Business cards: do cartoonists need them? What should they say and when should they be used? - Asking for critiques at shows. Why we don't like it.
