Like a disturbing sight upon the horizon, Prestwick returns with Pond to Pond. Because Jules is away trying to escape from the horrors of Las Vegas, we decided to get Amy & Dave (Nancy) from o31.net in on the action.

We decided to talk about women in webcomics, first covering gender in each other’s comics before turning our withering gaze on others!

Listen, drop some feedback and let us know what you all thought!

NOTE: I am still slightly quiet so apologies in advance.

So myself & Jules Rivera of Marsh Rocket fame decided to make a podcast. Its pretty short (roughly about 30 minutes or so) and we cover a few topics mainly:

* Comic Con vendor musings.
* How to get an artist as a webcomic writer.
* Looking into particulars on Hard Graft.

We had a good laugh making it and we’re looking into making it a regular feature so why not check it out!
