Description
Webcomics wranglers Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talking shop with Lex Fajardo. He's an Eisner Award winner, Senior Editor of Charles Schulz Studios, and the creator of his own comic series Kid Beowulf. When he asks if Patreon is right for him, he gets an earful... and a top-down restructuring of his entire approach (whether he wanted it or not)!
BUT FIRST, Brad refuses to give that lady at SmartCuts his phone number.

How to Handle Patreon-Exclusive Content: Today on ComicLab, we're taking questions from our Patreon backers: What do you do when you're more invested than your collaborator? When starting a new comic online, is it even worth it to start a website anymore — or should everything just be posted to Patreon? Can you Kickstart a book containing content that was originally Patreon-exclusive? BUT FIRST... Dave grapples with his impending old-man-hood when a barber offers to shave his earlobe hair. by Comic Lab
