Screen Tones: A Webcomic Podcast

We’re recording this in 2026. We’ve all had convention experience. There’s a lot of things that are shifting in the conventional convention wisdom, maybe things we took for granted, things that we miss from the past, or things that got a little better over the years (maybe??). So let’s talk about the directions things have gone! In this Episode: What changed? What kinds of things are different now about selling comics in person than when you first started? Are you relying more on other side merch or fanart over your books? How do you balance it? Are there any good changes? What should people expect financially or interest-wise from conventions today? ---- Episode Release Date: September 16, 2026 Episode Credits: Kristen Lee (Krispy) - she/they, https://ghostjunksickness.com https://www.lunarblight.com Star Prichard - she/her, https://thestarfishface.com/ https://castoff-comic.com/ Claire Niebergall (Clam) - she/her, https://www.phantomarine.com ---- The Intro "DO IT (feat.

We all know that making the webcomic pages themselves is the main course of our webcomic offering, but there’s lots of reasons you might make extra side content, too! Whether it’s little bonus treats for your most loyal fans, or ways to rope new folks in, the options are endless…. sometimes TOO endless. Let’s dive in!

Protagonists are the main leading characters of your webcomic who drive the story forward, and this can be through either internal arcs of development, external conflicts with antagonists, or both. Whether or not a reader is invested in those main characters can make or break your audience’s engagement with your story, so it’s worth exploring what makes these characters compelling to follow in a long-form webcomic.❓Tell us about your protagonist(s)! ⭐️Support us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes and bloopers⭐️https://www.patreon.com/screentonescastCheck out https://www.screentonescast.com for webcomic episodes, blog posts and more!☕️ Buy the hosts some coffee on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/screentonescast----Episode Credits:Ally Rom Colthoff (Varethane) - she/they, https://chirault.sevensmith.net https://wychwoodcomic.com Christina Major (Delphina) - she/her, https://sombulus.com Miranda Schwemmer - she/her, https://mirandacakes.art https://intotheswellcomic.com Claire Niebergall (Clam) - she/her, https://phantomarine.com----The Intro "DO IT (feat.

Networking is a buzzword that can feel a little weird to use in webcomics, but what we’re talking about here is basically the concept of connecting with other creators. This can have a lot of benefits, like getting to share opportunities with other creators, helping share your audience with other creators, and generally make the whole process of making webcomics a lot less lonely. But it’s also something that can get a bit awkward if we don’t approach it in a natural or respectful way.

Sound effects are a classic in comics for a reason: we have a flat noiseless page and sometimes we want to give it a noise or two! There are all kinds of approaches to integrating sound effects depending on the mood of the scene, so finding ways that work with your webcomic-making process is an exercise that can really make your story more immersive!

All of us here may or may not have one or more characters that we favor in our webcomics, that we rotate in our minds slightly more than the other characters. We’ll borrow the term “blorbo” for whoever this is in your webcomic project. But webcomics take time, and telling a compelling story might make it so that you go a couple scenes (years) without that exciting blorbo. So let’s talk about that itch, that compulsion, because it can be a major motivating factor that keeps you fueled in your comic journey, but it can also be a roadblock when you are making parts of the story without them!❓Tell us about your Blorbo!⭐️Support us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes and bloopers⭐️https://www.patreon.com/screentonescastCheck out https://www.screentonescast.com for webcomic episodes, blog posts and more!☕️ Buy the hosts some coffee on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/screentonescast----Episode Credits:Star Prichard @TheStarfishface - she/her, https://thestarfishface.com/ https://castoff-comic.com/ Claire Niebergall (Clam) @phantomarine she/her, https://phantomarine.comBob Appavu - any, https://intothesmokecomic.com https://www.demonoftheunderground.com----The Intro "DO IT (feat.

SCREEN TONES WILL BE AT TCAF (TORONTO COMIC ARTS FESTIVAL) 2026. STOP BY OUR TABLE FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WEBCOMICS. Depending on the scope and needs of your webcomic project, a webcomic platform can be a great addition, or alternative, to an independent website. Many platforms have come and gone across the years, but today in 2026, the most well known options are Webtoon, Tapas, and Comic Fury. There can be a lot of confusion about what webcomic platforms can and can’t do for your project, so we’re going to dig into what they’re all about and what you can expect when you use them. ❓What do you like about your current webcomic platform? Either as a reader or creator. BONUS NOTES (things we weren't able to elaborate on in the episode): Yes, when it comes to webrings, Webtoons and Tapas give your website a URL, but you can’t post other comics' links on your Webtoons or Tapas sites the way you can on a Comic Fury. Webrings are about other sharing links on your page as well as having others link back to you. Comic Fury has the capability to use custom URLs. People can be rude when commenting on websites as well. We all know this. However, there is a lot more ability to moderate commenting on a personal website than on premade platforms. So there's more frustration in general with commenting platforms on Webtoon and Tapas. Tapas allows more mature content than Webtoon, but when you mark an episode or series mature, it gets much fewer views, and mature series are hidden on the app from new readers. A very important plus to joining the Tapas contracted non-exclusive paid programs (Creator Bonus Program, Early Access) was that people who participate get a lot of extra promo. The promo opportunities were Bob's primary motivation in joining; the sandwich money was just a nice bonus. Their other passive income opportunities (ad revenue, ink donations) don't result in extra views/promo. Webtoon is the best site of the 3 for younger audiences. What I did not mean is that comics for older readers do worse on Webtoon than comics for younger readers (they don't), and I just wasn't sure if I made that clear enough. ⭐️Support us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes and bloopers⭐️ https://www.patreon.com/screentonescast Check out https://www.screentonescast.com for webcomic episodes, blog posts and more! ☕️ Buy the hosts some coffee on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/screentonescast ---- Episode Credits: Christina Major (Delphina) - she/her, https://sombulus.com Miranda Schwemmer - she/her, https://mirandacakes.art Bob Appavu - any, https://intothesmokecomic.com https://www.demonoftheunderground.com ---- The Intro "DO IT (feat.

We spend a good chunk of time in one spot, drawing and writing our webcomics, so it makes a lot of sense to think about where that physically happens.

❓What do you look for when you join a community? A lot of webcomic creators think about maintaining a place for our readers to connect with each other, and enjoy our comics and other art. This might be the comment section already built into your host, a Patreon or YouTube comment area where folks can look at your side content and chat, or a real-time chat space like Discord or Twitch. They’re all a little different and can attract all kinds of attention, good and bad, so we’re going to dive into what that looks like. ⭐️Support us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes and bloopers⭐️https://www.patreon.com/screentonescastCheck out https://www.screentonescast.com for webcomic episodes, blog posts and more!☕️ Buy the hosts some coffee on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/screentonescast----Episode Credits:Kristen Lee (Krispy) - she/they, https://ghostjunksickness.com https://www.lunarblight.com Star Prichard - she/her, https://thestarfishface.com/ https://castoff-comic.com/ Claire Niebergall (Clam) - she/her, https://phantomarine.comBob Appavu - any, https://intothesmokecomic.com https://www.demonoftheunderground.com----The Intro "DO IT (feat.

We all love creating characters, and we want to make them feel like they could be real people. But at the end of the day, characters aren’t real people - they act as tools to help tell our stories, while hopefully still coming across as having a three-dimensional history and personality. Today we wanted to talk about how to interpret characters as storytelling tools - and what to do when your audience gets a little too invested. ❓How have your characters helped you make your story better?⭐️Support us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes and bloopers⭐️https://www.patreon.com/screentonescastCheck out https://www.screentonescast.com for webcomic episodes, blog posts and more!☕️ Buy the hosts some coffee on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/screentonescast----Episode Credits:Ally Rom Colthoff (Varethane) - she/they, https://chirault.sevensmith.net https://wychwoodcomic.com Rae Baade - they/them, https://empyreancomic.com Star Prichard - she/her, https://thestarfishface.com/ https://castoff-comic.com/ Claire Niebergall (Clam) - she/her, https://phantomarine.com----The Intro "DO IT (feat.

Contract work is specifically entering into some kind of agreement, where someone is paying you for your comic-related skills. It can be a simple illustration commission that you draw for someone in a day, or it can be something long-term that spans years and years.

So here’s our scenario: you’re making your webcomic, your readers are following to the best of their ability, but you’re hearing the feedback that they can’t tell some of the characters apart. This can be about how you draw them, the styles and coloring you’re using… OR there could be aspects of your writing that are affecting how they’re perceived. For whatever reason, people are getting confused.

If you’re like… well… everyone on this podcast, you’ve had some pretty epic webcomic ideas. They’re really cool and exciting, maybe you’ve even been developing them for years without even drawing a page, and it's such an expansive idea it's probably going to even longer to draw, maybe even ten years! (if you’re lucky). This is a situation that can be both exciting and scary, and today we're going to talk about taking this BIG idea and using it to start your webcomic journey.

There are a lot of approaches to comedy in comics, and I wanted to get an episode together about that. Humor is OFTEN rooted in all kinds of cultural trends: current events, age groups, time periods, and styles, so it can be hard when people ask about how to learn to write comedy to find a way to talk about it! But Bob and Delphina are going to do their best today to break down at least their experience and approaches, and hopefully that’ll help you too. We hope you've enjoyed our 2025 podcast season of Screen Tones! We're going to be taking a break to recharge and integrate a few changes into our show, and we want to know what webcomic questions YOU have for us on an upcoming special Q&A stream!

We’re not here to tell you how to live your life. If you want to post every comic page as soon as you’re done with it, that’s valid. But! A buffer of comic pages can help keep your comic on a steady release schedule, set healthy reader expectations, and prevent burnout or stress during the times when you can’t be at your drawing desk as often.
