Customer Reviews
These guys I can relate to
There are podcasts out there that speak almost exclusively to the super successful print/web comic producers and while these podcasts can be entertaining I really don't have too much in common with the coast hoping, convention guest list appearing, Übermensch of comics.
Then there's The Lightbox.
The Lightbox podcast features web comic producers Matt Stout and Chris Flick, they make web comics and hold down day jobs, they are the guys who agonize over whether or not to move up to a convention booth from artist alley, these are the super talented producers that just haven't hit huge yet, but that doesn't keep them from making an entertaining, funny and informative podcast about everything an entry-level web cartoonist needs to know. These guys I can relate to.
Keep going guys, I think you're doing great work.
Very informative!
Chris and Matt are experienced cartoonists, but also have a wealth of knowledge about the digital, online aspects that anyone interested in webcomics needs to be aware of. It is cool how welcoming they are to reader questions and comments. 50 episodes, and it gets better and better.
