My next big project is about comics, artists, printing, and the future of cartoons:

How Comics Were Made: A Visual History from the Drawing Board to the Printed Page https://howcomicsweremade.ink

I’ll cover from how artists draw their strips (on paper and on screen) to print production to the outcome as reproduction, from the 1890s to the present.

Kickstarter, Feb. 2024; planned pub. date: October 2024. Sign up for an email when the project launches: https://buttondown.email/howcomicsannounce

@jeffzugale Thank you! I'm actually trying to talk to webcomics artists (despite the general focus on newspaper comics) who have worked on a web-first basis creating something like strips. I have some candidates and a couple interviews booked.

@jeffzugale Some are—the ones who are more daily-ish strip focused. Folks who were/are doing comic book pages are absolutely in the same genre but don’t fit as well into my rubric. I’m trying to keep a tight focus because comic books and webcomics that have page-like episodic entries deserve their own space!
