Note: This tutorial refers to a Comicpress site that’s no longer in use. I’ve moved on to Comic Easel now. Just in case you’re wondering why ths doesn’t seem to aplly to what I did on this site. You’re right. Also, this tweakworks with Comicpress 2.9.2.29 and below. No guarantees above that. In fact, I’m […]

My Holiday at the Pony Farm
No, I’m not on holiday, although from my level of activities at this site you’d think so. But somebody else is: Sarah Burrini, creator of the popular German webcomic Life Ain’t No Pony Farm. And like a good pony farm owner, she left the place for some guests to trash take care of. So, here’s […]
Comixtalk Aftertalk
Ah. l’esprit d’escalier… Yesterday, after my last post as a Comixtalk guest blogger, I considered an additional farewell post, but I couldn’t think of a topic that would make it interesting to Comixtalk readers (as opposed to, y’know, Vaehling readers). After a good night’s sleep, it seems obvious. Remember what I said when I announced […]
Guest Blogging at Comixtalk
So, after several guest strips at other people’s webcomics, I’m continuing my little Summer tour around the block with a short stay as a Comixtalk guest blogger. This week, Brian Moore, TwentySevenLetters‘ Alexander Danner, surprise guest John Baird and I will take turns blogging about whatever we see fit. In my case, that includes some […]
Squatting the Squad!
Another guest strip of mine is now up at David Malambré’s Demolitionsquad! Since guesting was so much fun the first time around, I quickly volunteered when David asked around for submissions the other day. Be sure to read his own strips, too, even if you’re not interested in computer games. Most of them work fine […]
So, Where’s the Wonder (Exactly)?
ETA 2018: Project Wonderful canceled my ad box a while back because they thought it didn’t make me enough money. I always meant to get back into the game but as it turns out, they’re canceling all other ad boxes in August anyway. So consider this post a general write-up for potentially long-tail firendly ad […]
Union of Guest Heroes
If you know your webcomics, you probably know Union of Heroes, Arne Schulenberg’s photo webcomic about superheroes in Germany’s Ruhrgebiet. If you don’t, I recommend it. It’s funny and strange, but it also takes its characters seriously, altogether making for a very good read. And as of today, I’m part of the experience, because I’m […]
Pricing: The Inevitable Question
You may have heard about the quarrel between bookseller Amazon and publisher Macmillan. In a nutshell, Macmillan wanted to sell their eBooks at whatever price they felt was best while Amazon insisted on keeping all eBooks below $9.99. Since Amazon is That Big Market and their Kindle is pretty much the major game in town […]
Sample Scripts: Why I haven’t posted any yet (except now)
One thing I’ve always enjoyed on other people’s sites is the possibility to download and read scripts. It helps a lot when you’re preparing to write your own, and it’s still fun when you’re used to writing your own. Always keen on being helpful, I’ve started posting some scripts of mine over at my German […]
Lessons from Dollhouse
I’m sure you heard about FOX sacking DOLLHOUSE, Joss Whedon’s current show featuring Eliza Dushku? They won’t get a third season, for the usual reasons – not enough viewers by Fox standards. If you know me, you know how much of a Joss Whedon fan I am. So, bummer. But I’m not just writing as […]
