To webcomic or not to webcomic?

[Canadian Turtle]

Hey people of the drome.

So I have to admit I am not super knowledgable about webcomics, I don't mind them, but can't say I know of/have read many.

That said I am working on one at the moment and have a few opinion questions. And for the record the comic doesn't have anything to do with the TMNT it's an "original idea"... And I don't write I just draw.

I am looking for your opinions on the frequency of release for a webcomic. As a reader of comics I like a monthly book that I can pick up and read all at once. When it comes to this webcomic business it appears that creators are releasing a set amount if pages per week or something like this. Does this not get annoying? Or would it be better to realize a book all at once per month?

Also in this world of free everything and artists being essentially expected to give away their work for free, how do people suggest one makes a comic "profitable" is merch a good idea if the comic was popular enough? Or charging for printed hard copies special order or something?

Anyways, would love to hear your thoughts on it. And I hope when we officially launch this thing people here enjoy it. It's pretty fun!
