You've mentioned before how Unsounded is meant to be read as a single story as a whole and isn't really intended to be a story read in drips, and a good part of your regular income relies on that. Does it also affect your editorial decisions, in terms of pacing and content? There is surely content you'd slip into a book meant as a single long-form read you second-guess in a webcomc format.
It doesn't affect content but it absolutely affects pacing and layout. I try to never split a sentence or a direct action between two pages, for instance. I'm also really hesitant to decompress things too much, and try to make every page a complete "bite."
I've kinda grown to hate it, but as you said, keeping up the page-at-a-time format is how the comic is able to make money :) In my ideal world, I could release a scene or chapter at a time. Then I'd feel more comfortable stretching things out, including more scene-setting and vibe-creating panels and including fewer, bigger panels on each page. As is, I do my best :)

So looking through the webcomics I still read:
Is Gone with the Blastwave an obscure webcomic, or do people just not read it because it updates so sporadically?
Same question, but for Grassblades.
Otherwise, most of what I read is definitely incredibly well-known for a webcomic.
I guess the problem with trying to put together and "obscure wecomics" bracket that's actually true to its name is that by the last few rounds it would have no meaningful polling audience. Like, how are you going to get useful data out out a poll where the matchup is Catball & Clown Girl versus The Lil World of Meekerz?
#The one possible exception#is Extra Ordinary#but i'm p sure everyone knows that one#the rest are all frequently referenced in nerd circles#or they're part of hiveworks#or they're by ppl who've done other#bigger webcomcs#also do you have a rule for this? Do webcomics that rarely#sporadically update count?
