100 FAQ On Making Comics Know the Basics. Avoid the Blunders.

Spend over 3 decades editing comics, you field a lot of loaded questions. Here are 100 of my favorites from art and english majors to industry hopefuls and seasoned pros. From oft-asked to oddball, the answers might surprise you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sxb...

I'd add to this: Don't just read it. Have more experienced and/or legally savvy friends read it.

Graphic by Trung Le Ngyuen featuring a drawing of Liam Ramos with his bunny hat and Spidey backpack and a small smile. Text reads: "Comics 4 Liam / WE're asking artists to draw pictures for Liam Ramos that you think might make this particular boy feel happy and cared for. / Maybe drawings of things he might love; maybe pictures of Liam himself as you think he might like to be seen. / Please post your art with the hashtag #Comics4Liam and a link to comics4liam.com, which lists fundraisers for Liam and others victimized by ICE and links to organizations that support immigrants.

A few other guidelines: 1. Please avoid images of Liam in danger or sad. 2. Please avoid images that include violence or would otherwise by inappropriate for a five year old. 3. Please NO "A.i." USE AT ALL. 4. Please DO NOT POST YOUR IMAGE ON X (Twitter). Thank you!

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!

A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Here’s to 2026
