Next Episode: We’ll be talking about Character Depth!

The Webcomic Beacon is hiring! (not really)

Hiring impies payment or sompensation. What we are doing is recruiting. We have a few “positions” available.

Chat Room Members
Since we are switching to a more “Live” version of the show, we would like a lot more chat room participation, as well as call-ins. The best way to call-in, is by listening LIVE! You can call-in on Talk Shoe’s number, during the Talk Shoe broadcast, or call us at 1+320-210-0922.

Guest-Hosts
Non-Interview Guest-Hosts, to be exact. Meaning that we’ll be periodically looking for people to come on the show to talk with us about whatever. Please keep in mind, this is not a call for people that want to be interviewed. HOWEVER, that does not mean we won’t introduce you and plug your work. We just to be clear they are not interviews, and the focus is the show’s topic… if we have one. So this should be fun!

Just get a Skype account, and add “fesworks”. Also, e-mail us as at webcomicbeacon@gmail.com and list yourself and your webcomic.

Webcomic Creators
More information is coming up in the 50th episode, but we are wanting to try a communal webcomic for WebcomicBacon.com. Either as an open source project, or as a loose Creative Commons project. More details will be posted with Episode 50.


Webcomic Beacon #48 - Dead Webcomics

Fes and Mark host today’s show on DEAD WEBCOMICS!!! WooOOooOoOOoOOoOooo! *makes spooky fingers* *ahem*  We also discuss Webcomic Reviews again, as we beat the subject to death. Still… good times.

Didn’t have time to write the notes up. I’ll get it later. SORRY! But I got the show up for you guys. Still in a transition stage.

The cover was drawn by Darcy of Code Name: Hunter. And Howard Taylor of Schlock Mercenary introduces the show!
