Someone sticky this thing because this is need to know shiz!
(oh great, he's got me saying shiz now... I kinda like it, hehe. Too bad I can't pull it off....)

Technically speaking, aren't pay comics the only "ho's"? Phalanx is officially a pimp[ette].

Of course, one has to build up a good sized archive first, otherwise the visitors will come once and then leave right away...

Nah. I prefer doing that sort of thing with spacers. Much more fun.

Somehow this sounds an awful lot like selling one's intergrity...

That's prettymuch what Hollywood is like.

When I get to doing it again, I'll note that page, though.

Fanart! Fanart everywhere! I did do one for Schlock Mercenary which knocked me up into the keenspace top 10. Slightly different case as I know Howard and I knew it'd be up on the front page before I started.

Fanart is cool to do when you want to, but this sounds like way too much hassle. If I wanted to suck all the fun out of my hobby, I'd just go to work.
I'm not really concerned if "everyone" sees my stuff. Those who do generally like it.

No offense, but to me, you always seemed to be doing this. You got away with it because you're very good at what you do.

Muahahaaaa! We're all ho's here! The difference is the form of payment you know?! Free comics get paid in popularity and readers abd merchandise and fanmails and cult followings.
Pay artists get less of that (though we still can get cult followings (See Ursula Vernon) )but we get payment in cold hard cash as well
Very good post Van. Most of the stuff's common sense, but you'd be surprised how rare common sense is.
