Guidelines
I use Twitter as a networking tool to promote my comics, to find other webcomics, and to get and give advice on making comics. To this end I’ve developed quite a list of webcomic artists whom I follow. To make this more useful for me and for anyone who wants to use this list as a resouce themselves, I have developed some guidelines:
1) The followee should have an online comic archive that is either ongoing or large.
2)It should have a proper navigation system – you should not have to click more than once to get to the next comic – and should not be hosted on Zuda, which requires far too much effort to understand and use the interface, and their default view makes me claustrophobic.
3) The Twitter account’s link should go to the comic, or to a blog or hubsite with obvious links to the comic.
4) The comic should not rely on crudeness for its humor or otherwise cause me more annoyance than entertainment.
There are exceptions, including a few people I follow who don’t make comics at all! You can find a list of everyone I’m following here.
The Short(er) List
What follows is a list of people that I recommend following on Twitter. They have interesting comics and are interesting to follow and interact with. It’s definitely not every comic artist I’m following but it’s a good place to start.
New finds are right here at the top – 7/5/09
