It’s #SignalBoostSunday! Follow the link to find creators to support. I’ve often talked about the high degree of “comic book insecurity” I had as a young fan. That is, for a variety of reasons, when I was a kid I didn’t have stable, secure access to new comics. There were […]
Last week I launched The Spinner Rack, a site that automatically aggregates information about comics from multiple sources, including publishers’ social media accounts, news sites, and trending hashtags. It was pretty basic, and while most of the content was dynamically-updated, the site itself was mostly static, and the posts linking […]
I’ve been posting some infrequent comics at Journey Into Mediocrity, but I think it’s pretty clear that, while some of them are fun, and I do enjoy making them, my heart really isn’t in doing those sort of one-off (alleged) humor comics. (Which is not to say that I’m going […]
Just popping in to share this comic from Owlturd Comix. View post on imgur.com That whole working with an artist/writer thing? That’s part of what OpenDoor Comics is all about! Doing it yourself?

After a great deal of searching and some trial-and-error – which will no doubt continue – I’ve managed to enable an automated registration process, allowing Creators to sign up and create their own site all at once. The solution – a plugin called BuddyPress – allows for the creation of […]
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 […]
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 […]
While the site itself seems to be languishing with nary a visit nor, more crucially, a comic creator sign-up, I haven’t been idle. As time (and energy) allow, I’ve been working on some projects to get the word out and hopefully increase traffic and generate some interest from prospective comics […]
