Booking Overview

A weekly comics-industry advice show focused on creating webcomics and earning a living as a professional cartoonist, with mostly co-hosted discussions and occasional interviews with working creators. Credible pitches include webcomic artists, independent cartoonists, comic publishers, and experts in audience development, crowdfunding, merchandising, or creator-business strategy; booking difficulty is low because the show has featured accessible working professionals rather than only highly prominent figures.
