cheapwaves asked: So, I've always been interested in making comics and I've finally been able to (nearly) finish a comic for the first time in my entire existence. The problem is I have to debut it at my first convention ever (comic con of all things) and I'm pretty freaked out. I wish I could've done smaller conventions first but time was an issue. And now I'm scared that I will not be...

A Few Hot Tips For Making Better Comics
1. Get a ruler.
2. Get a triangle. A triangle is like a ruler, only it’s shaped like a triangle. It costs like a couple of dollars.
3. Draw straight lines for your panel borders. Use right angles for the corners. That’s what a ruler and triangle can do for you.
4. Measure a distance between your first two panels and then keep using the exact same distance between all your...
yearlongwintercomix asked: What types of art supplies would you recommend to a person on a relatively low budget (few hundred dollars?). I'm just looking to ink a few comics and sketches in, but looking at your set-up, obviously I don't have the assets to purchase a large format printer, or to regularly use vellum finished paper. Any suggestions for good, yet relatively cheap supplies?
morphmaker asked: Hi Bryan! I was at your TCAF spotlight panel and I remember you recommended a manga where the main character wakes up with a lizard head - what's the title again? Thanks!

drhawkins asked: I saw the io9 article about unused happy endings, and I had no idea they shot an alternate end for SP. I'm not sure which one I like better- they're both good- but I was wondering what you thought about the one that doesn't match the comics?
tricycleguy asked: Andrew Hussie replied to a question once and mentioned that having to continuously work to produce content left him in a media consumption stasis of sorts; He just basically worked too much to catch up with the latest games, books, and shows. Would you say you experience the same thing? If so, where on the timeline does your media familiarity end? Any concerns about maintaining "pop-culture...

the-timinator asked: Hi there. First off, I can honestly say that Scott Pilgrim was the best part of 2010 (I discovered it that year) with the possible exception of Armageddon expo. That's a New Zealand gaming convention. (I'm from NZ. It's a super cool here) Secondly, I want to make a short film of Babyfood. Would you have any advice about something you'd want to see in such an adaptation? Things...

corwinwebb asked: Hey! Huge fan of your stuff, I'm very new to the whole comic book process. I was wondering if you rough an entire book before you start your inking, or do a set of pages at a time? And when it comes time for ink do you often find yourself altering your roughs or do you get them pretty set in stone beforehand? Thanks!

theambiguoushero asked: Hey there! I, just like the fantastic Scott Pilgrim, have the birthday of September 27th. There is a whole study, similar to astrology, about birthdays, and I found out that September 27th is "The Day of the Ambiguous Hero". I was wondering if that had any effect on you deciding that date to be his birthday, as the title seems to fit his character pretty well!

Junot Diaz on Men Who Write About Women
The Atlantic: It sounds like you're saying that literary "talent" doesn't inoculate a writer—especially a male writer—from making gross, false misjudgments about gender. You'd think being a great writer would give you empathy and the ability to understand people who are unlike you—whether we're talking about gender or another category. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Junot Diaz: I think that unless you are actively, consciously working against the gravitational pull of the culture, you will predictably, thematically, create these sort of fucked-up representations. Without fail. The only way not to do them is to admit to yourself [that] you're fucked up, admit to yourself that you're not good at this shit, and to be conscious in the way that you create these characters. It's so funny what people call inspiration. I have so many young writers who're like, "Well I was inspired. This was my story." And I'm like, "OK. Sir, your inspiration for your stories is like every other male's inspiration for their stories: that the female is only in there to provide sexual service." There comes a time when this mythical inspiration is exposed for doing exactly what it's truthfully doing: to underscore and reinforce cultural structures, or I'd say, cultural asymmetry.
