Comics Under Quarantine

Today's show is brought to you by Wacom — makers of the incredible Wacom One! Dave and Brad are devoting the entire show to topics related to the coronavirus pandemic. Having been self-employed for years, Dave and Brad share some advice to people who are working from home for the first time.  Also, crowdfunding is proving to be surprisingly resilient so far, so this is no time to get sheepish about Patreon and Kickstarter. Dave talks about writing in moments of grief, and Brad shares some thoughts about ways we can monetize our comics during the months ahead.Questions asked and topics covered...Working from homePatreon experienced an influx of creators and patrons in MarchPatreon sets up a COVID-19 relief fund.How to write in moments of griefMaking money happen quickly under quarantineLimited-edition ComicLab enamel pins are now available at newevilbook.com and sheldonstore.com!You get great rewards when you support ComicLab on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast$10 — Record an audio question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast$50 — Sponsor the show!
