Ben Towle on the webcomic to print process
Web serialization of a comic intended for print is one of the standard models of comics production now (Although it still isn';t profitable but that's a whole other post) and here's avery insightful post by Ben Towle on the conclusion of his webcomic, Oyster War. I've been enjoying his account of local skirmishes between 19th century Chesapeake Bay oyster farmers since he started it in 2008, and much has changed in how he put the comics out in that period, including the rise of Tumblr and yet more social media.

Reminder: Walt Disney was a sexist Jerk
Yeah yeah, Walt Disney was a genius and a trailblazer and a visionary...but he was also a racist and a horrible sexist. The letter informing a woman applying for a job at the studio informing her that "Women do not do any of the creative work in connection with preparing the cartoons for the screen, as that work is performed entirely by young men. For this reason girls are not considered for the training school." has been floating around for years, but recently a newspaper story by Disney biographer Bob Thomas laying out his ideas of women's capabilities has been unearthed and it's even worse.
