Discussion Updates to r/altcomix
Hello! Over the past few weeks, u/Titus_Bird and I have made some updates to the subreddit.
Most significantly, we've expanded and rewritten the wiki, which can be found here. The aim with the wiki is to provide new readers some clarification on what alternative comics are, along with a bit of historical overview and recommendations of key works/creators. We've tried to be as neutral as possible and to avoid semantic nitpicking, as our priority is just to be informative and spread love for the medium. Feedback is more than welcome!
We've also made a number of other changes, namely:
- Updated the Guidelines - this was completed a few months back
- Cleaned up the 'flair' tags - this was completed a few months back
- Created a moderation bot (u/comixbot) to automate a couple tasks
- Created and updated the header
- Cleaned up and sanitized the css for Old Reddit
- Tweaked the look of the sub on New Reddit
- Added u/Titus_Bird as a moderator
Our next project is to implement similar changes over at r/indiecomics.

Discussion If you like big asses, you might like "Big Ass Comix" #1 😂
I tell you, Robert Crumb was something! He didn't shy away from exposing his Id in comic form. He published two issues of his ode to the tush in his inimitable style.
Check out my look through issue one and let me know if you have this or the second issue in your collection. 🍑

OC Sauna Conversations (P1)
An excerpt from my book The Shifting Ground Vol 1 - The sauna stuff is a subplot in a bigger story but all the sauna comics are fully based in real observations/conversations I've had in the sauna at my local YMCA.
I'll post the rest of this lil story later.
I don't lay out my comics in a way that's easily chopped up for sharing but this one chopped up fairly well so here we go (part 2 is more awkward when chopped up).

Crowdfunding Kickstarter for Tina and Ellie Take the Case [crowdfunding]
Hey, everyone. I'll be launching the kickstarter for my third collection of Meeting Comics, Tina and Ellie Take the Case, relatively soon. Meeting Comics is a comedy soap opera comic strip.
Here's a sampling of strips that will appear in the book. I think you can read this book by itself with no problem, but there will be copies of my first two books available in the kickstarter as well: Meeting Comics, published by Adhouse Books, and Clocking In and Selling Out, published by me (Added Value Books).
There will be a deal for the first 24 hours of the campaign for books with free color drawings in them (see the last two images for examples in my two previous books), so sign up to be notified when the kickstarter begins if you don't want to miss that.
Here's the kickstarter link! Please check it out! There is more information about the book there. If you have any questions, get at me. Thanks!

You can really see in this one that I'm not making these comics in a way that's super compatible with chopping up panel by panel BUT I wanted to post the rest of this section of the book. I really like thinking in dynamic page layouts rather than a consistent grid of squares, so.. check out the book for the proper reading format I guess.
