I remember on one of the Comics coast to coast podcasts Justin Thompson of Mythtickle said he got a check of $29 for his first month and I remember he had figures of about 7000. Just wondered if that was the norm or if it differed from comic to comic.

Before this gets out of hand, I need to admit that I really don’t know anything about Gocomics or what there compensation to creators may be. Just wanted to set that straight. I really don’t have any inside information. Just putting that out there. The pack of smokes could be absolutely incorrect.

It may be a Big Gulp and nachos after all.

A Big Gulp and a pack of smokes?
That figures. I quit smoking 6 months ago!

Man if they offered me a big gulp and some nachos, I would go for it. I just want more readers to discover my strip. I am finding that being on Comics Sherpa is like being in a dark alley… in the rain…. No one will come out and see you….

…Then again, maybe my strip just stinks! More than likely that’s the real story here….. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha….

But seriously, just offer me the nachos and a Big Gulp guys…..

Sigh. I’ll take it.

I may be wrong, but I think they just get a Big Gulp and a pack of smokes.

It’s time this list was updated, particularly since United comics have joined GoComics. Pearls Before Swine is really rocketing over there.
