Opening the door to a wider world of expression
Deciding that it was past time that someone start posting some comics on a platform intended to host, you know, comics, I took it upon myself to create a comic and post it. I’m sorry. I’m sorry because it’s not very good, and because that’s not what OpenDoor Comics is about; I didn’t create this…
…well, not for rent, but I’m not sure that saying “This Space For Free” would make much sense. Not without some additional context, at any rate. So here I am, providing some additional context. What do I mean by “This Space For Free,” you ask? Exactly that. This space right here? Free. Less flippantly, I’ve…
As I continue to grapple with the task of getting the word out about OpenDoor Comics and getting creators to begin posting content, I have to admit that it’s difficult to avoid getting at least a little discouraged. When I look at the traffic stats – or lack thereof – it’s a little depressing, even…
As I’ve been toiling away working on the Media Kit mentioned in my last post – which is why it’s been a while since my last post – there’s been something at the back of my mind that’s given me a bit of pause. We all know by now (I hope) that OpenDoor Comics is…
Just popping in to quickly share a link to a goood article on a relevant topic by Laura Hudson at Wired: It’s Time to Get Real About Racial Diversity in Comics “The alternative and independent comics scene is leaps and bounds ahead of the big publishers, as usual, and that’s where the real action is happening,”…

Between my day job, being sidelined by a nasty bout of bronchitis, and a visit from my family, I haven’t been able to devote much time or attention to the site in recent weeks. That will change going forward, but in the meantime, I wanted to wish a happy and safe 4th of July to…
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I had to make some behind-the-scenes changes with the OpenDoor Comics site. Anyone who visited the site before and after the changes would no doubt have noticed that the site looked quite a bit different as a result. When I initially launched the OpenDoor Comics site I went with…
While the work on getting the site comfortable in its new house continues, and I continue the efforts to develop it further and turn this house into a home, I wanted to share a link to an interesting – and hopeful – article on Comics Alliance. For Second Year In A Row, Female Readers Are A…
(As part of the migration to the new hosting platform, I’m manually adding back in the posts that were made to The Threshold on the other platform. If there were comments made on the posts, I have no way of carrying them over to the new site as actual comments, so I will append them…
