Expert Profile: Brad J. Guigar

Expertise:  I can answer questions about developing a comic strip -- and self-publishing it both on the Web and tthrough print outlets. I can also offer advice on humor writing and cartoon illustration.

Experience in the area
I wrote "The Everything Cartooning Book" and co-wrote "How To Make Webcomics." I have been producing a daily comic strip, Evil Inc, since Feb. 2000. In 2007, I was nominated for an Eisner Award for my weekly comic, Phables. Both comics update regularly on their Web sites and appear in the Philadelphia Daily News and other newspapers. You can hear me discuss webcomics in my weekly podcast, Webcomics Weekly, along with my co-hosts Dave Kellett, Kris Straub and Scott Kurtz.
