I believe there’s a good percentage of people visiting STC, not only enjoy the comic, but also create comics themselves. I came across a pretty good podcast today. It’s an interview of Tyler Martin done by Scott Kurtz. Without these two guys having done what they’ve done, STC probably wouldn’t be on your computer screens right now. 

Scott Kurtz, of PVPOnline, has one of the most deservingly successful webcomics on the web.  His strip has been around about 2 months after Al Gore invented the internet. If you haven’t followed his work, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Scott is part of Halfpixel, and their podcast (Webcomics Weekly) was what got me into making the serious commitment into doing a comic strip. I blame my passion/artistic direction on them.

If Scott Kurtz and the rest of the Half Pixel crew are the red, yellow, blue, and green lions, then Tyler Martin would have to be the black lion that would form my webcomic’s Voltron.

While Tyler Martin has a very good webcomic ( Wally and Osborne ), he has brought a gift to the online comic creator that I happen to feel is without peer. Comicpress. Comicpress is a customizable theme that when used with Wordpress makes producing sequential art online, much easier. While you don’t need comicpress to produce a successful strip, it sure don’t hurt. Many of the most tech savy guys in the field have made the switch, and I believe more and more will. Scott happens to be a fan of both Comicpress and Tyler Martin, as Tyler did the most recent site redesign for PVP.

Having established my well deserved respect for these two individuals, it should be no surprise how delighted I was to come across this podcast. As I previously stated, Scott conducts an interview with Tyler, talking about his creative process, personal life, and of course Comicpress. If you’re someone creating comics, or you love to read them, there’s some interesting stuff here for you to consume.
