That’s where my Youtube channel and social media presence will be about. Speaking of my Youtube channel, my newest video is about how to set up your comic right so it’s made for the intended goal and so it’s future proof. When I started my webcomic, Recollection City, I wanted to get the technical things right up front so it’d save me redoing things in the future. I wanted to be ready for print but also have a comic that could be read well on the internet. What about sizes, formats, font sizes, etc? A digital comic can get very technical and the digital landscape changes all the time. 💫 However, some
