When a listener asks about Kickstarter strategy, the ComicLab guys are divided! Dave favors the traditional webcomics approach. Build your audience by posting the comic online, then monetize that engagement with a Kickstarter. Brad likes this, but he could also see using Kickstarter's strengths in Discovery to build the audience through a series of smaller campaigns that lead to a big one.SummaryIn this conversation, Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett explore various aspects of creating and promoting comics, including the importance of audience engagement, the role of webcomics, and practical strategies for using platforms like Patreon and Kickstarter. They discuss the significance of consistent content release versus binge releases, emphasizing the emotional connection built through regular engagement with readers. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes and humorous references, making it both informative and entertaining for aspiring comic creators.In the second half of the show, Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett discuss various topics related to comic creation, including the joys of attending the Alaska Comics Camp, the potential of drawing Q&A sessions for Patreon, the nuances of live streaming for community versus audience building, and strategies for overcoming comic paralysis. They emphasize the importance of community engagement, the legal considerations of using names in drawings, and the creative processes involved in writing and drawing comics.TakeawaysThe concept of reality can sometimes feel simulated.Building an audience takes time and consistent effort.Sharing work for free can help monetize later through crowdfunding.Webcomics has a proven track record for audience engagement.Regular content release fosters deeper emotional connections with readers.Patreon should focus on ongoing support rather than one-time rewards.Binge reading can be appealing, but regular updates build stronger relationships.Marketing archived work is essential for ongoing engagement.Kickstarter can be used effectively for audience building.The emotional bond with readers is strengthened through consistent storytelling.Alaska Comics Camp is a unique experience for cartoonists.Drawing Q&As can enhance community engagement on Patreon.Avoid using patrons' names in drawings to prevent legal issues.Live streaming can serve both community and audience-building purposes.Comic paralysis may stem from a disconnect between writing and drawing.Consider introducing time between writing and drawing to refresh creativity.Not all drawn content is suitable for reuse in books.You might be a writer who illustrates rather than a cartoonist.Train your brain to associate writing with drawing to overcome paralysis.It's okay to explore other creative avenues if comics don't fit.

How about a 2011 Jeep Liberty that runs terrible and has trouble on hot days : Ron's next up is a bit of a Frankenstein vehicle; the original engine has been replaced by something different .and well, its bits and pieces being held together in this 03 Tacoma. The OBD II port tests show no codes BUT the check engine light is on. Ron offers a definitive approach to get to a conclusion quickly.  He then covers basic mis-fire diagnostics on an 07 Escalade with multiple misfires. After walking the caller thru the steps he then takes a call on an 01 VW Gulf with a bad voltage regulator  and an owner that can't find the right part. Ron gives him the info he needs to solve his problem.  The last call of the hour is from a listener in Virginia that has an 04 Chevy Trailblazer where the transmission won't engage. Ron's solution and diagnostic step is simple and clear to determine the fault.  Visit us at https://www.cardoctorshow.com  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome, new subscribers, and welcome back, loyal readers! I'm happy you're here.⭐️ Before we get started: If you live near Oakland, join me and fellow Article Clubbers at an in-person gathering on Thursday, Nov. 30, at Room 389, beginning at 5:30 pm. It's a great way to connect with other thoughtful readers and chat about the articles. It'd be wonderful to see you. Here's more info and where you can get your free ticket.Today's issue is dedicated to an interview with Larissa MacFarquhar, the author of “The Fog: Living in Adoption's Emotional Aftermath,” November's article of the month.Originally published in The New Yorker in April, the piece profiles three adoptees who have come out of “the fog,” or the denial of the trauma of being adopted. Not all adoptees have mixed or negative emotions, but many do.They seek their birth parents but are lied to; they can't obtain their original birth certificates; they're told they should be happy they're adopted when their feelings are complicated; they find the adoption system corrupt; they feel like they're living a double life, estranged from the person they really are.By focusing on the lives of Deanna, Joy, and Angela, the article also discusses the history and problems of three categories of adoption: invisible (or closed) adoptions, transracial adoptions, and international adoptions.If you haven't read it yet, I urge you to do so — and to join our discussion on December 3, if you're moved.I got a chance to interview Ms. MacFarquhar last Friday, and it was an honor. I won't give everything away, because it's better to listen, but we discussed a number of topics, including:* how Ms. MacFarquhar became interested in adoption after exploring the problems of the foster care system* how being adopted is a profoundly different way of being human than growing up with one's biological family* how many adoptees feel they're not real, that their stories are scrambled, that their identities are disorientating, and that they learn about themselves bit by bit* how although adoption is sometimes the best outcome for a child, our society should be more supportive of birth parents who love and want to keep their kids Most of all, it became abundantly clear in our conversation that Ms. MacFarquhar is a thoughtful reporter and writer. Her approach to profiling is exquisite; she tells her subjects' stories directly and with compassion. And no matter your background knowledge on adoption, and no matter your lived experience, this is an article that is worth your time and attention.Thank you for listening to this week's episode. Hope you liked it.
