The link doesn't exist but typing up words for speech bubbles should be hard at all. What program are you using for this?Can someone please explain to me how to type in the words for the speech bubbles? I wish I could just handwrite it, it's not like it's THAT messy:

Unless you have a clear view of how it's going to look on your work, then it should be piece of cake. Lot of people scan their comics and then just stick words from there but hm yeah I guess printing out words would work. Just use the typing feature on MS Paint and type up a couple of things. If you want, you can make a box or circle (for a bubble) to make that comic feel. Print out and then cut and paste to work.I took the link out. I copied it from my HGSS fan comic post, so I thought it'd work, but I must've deleted something or other. Couldn't I just type it up on my computer, print it, cut it out, and paste it? Or do you have to use MS paint? I'm not very good at understanding computer stuff, so I do every single piece of work by hand. I don't have a program for my comics.
OK, thanks, this helps a lot. Now I can start a comic thread.
Question: I have this one-shot teaser comic that I have planned out (my main comic will go forth later if the teaser does well). It will consist of 4-5 pages, and will be hand-drawn.
I was wondering if such a post should go in its own separate thread...
or go into the Comics Cafe thread, since it also consists of a prototype technique for flashbacks.
if you're confident about the comic you could probably start your teaser in it's own thread, and adapt from there if you feel its going to go well.
traffic to this area is pretty dead though, at least compared to a few years ago. you might not get the traffic you expect. it feels like the loyalists stayed, and everyone was just here for a fad.
even comic websites like smackjeeves, you can't expect much for comments. but you can check the traffic on specific days.
in short, it's a no love hobby unless you fold to what is popular at the time and keep up on trends. i have no idea about promotion either, these things are all up to you.
It seems like the folks who wrote & updated the rules left over 5 years ago.Can you start off by posting a preview of your comic and then start updating once you have more pages finished?
I’m currently working on a comic series that will be based on my playthrough of Pokémon Sword. On Friday, I posted the first few pages on several other sites as a sneak peek since I want to build a buffer first and then start posting the comic some time between mid December & early January. However, while I’m looking through this thread to see if they made any changes to the rules since I’m want to make sure we’re allowed to post previews before I unintentionally do anything that’s not allowed.
