Sales Kit Strips
Added 2022-01-18 13:19:12 +0000 UTCSo when you get syndicated there’s a thing called a sales kit that you have to put together. It’s basically six weeks of strips that every paper runs when they pick up your comic. When you pick these comics it’s a good idea do redo any that come from early in the run so the art matches with the current style. It’s also a chance to punch up the writing a little bit. Above is the very first Crabgrass strip redone for syndication. You can see the difference in art style here more than any other strip.

2022-01-19 04:13:52 +0000 UTCCrabgrass should first appear in papers on March 28. No guarantee it’ll be in a paper near you though. Or me for that matter. I’m already planing for a road trip just in case.

2022-01-18 20:01:49 +0000 UTCAll artists improve and evolve over time. I've read a few strips from their beginnings, many years ago. Even Li'l Abner changed a lot. Not to mention Garfield. They all improved and developed. All the Peanuts characters changed and developed. Some of the characters added later would not have worked in the earlier style.
