Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-could-go-for-awhile dept.

Dauntilus writes "Bent Comics is sponsering a web-comic contest. Contestants put $20 into the pool, and they must update their comics 5 times a week. If they fail to update on time, they are out. Last artist in gets the pool. The contest started yesterday with a sweet $1,120 in the pot. A few big webcomic artists like Scott Kurtz (PVP) and Chris Crosby (Superosity) have even show up for the fun."

    Diesel Sweeties would probably win, if R. Stevens signed up. He said he's not going to, though.

    I'll take quality over 5 updates a week anyday.

    Forcing them to update constantly would likely kill the comics we know and love until the contest is over.

    It doesn't appear that any of the strips have to actually be good. Me and my stick-figure-guy could win this one.

    Penny arcade only updates 3 times a week, and I doubt they really wanna change that.

    Nice way to borrow money from those 'big webcomic artists' ;)) I bet at least 2 of them will produce 5 comics a week for a very long time...
