Zoinks! webcomic newspaper has arrived!

Got my Zoinks! webomics newspaper in the post today! Thanks Bill!
So, a big congratulations to the Zoinks team, it's a great publication. I'm off on holidays tomorrow, so I haven't had a chance to read it cover to cover, but I read all the strips and two very good articles - which is testament to the quality of the paper: I really didn't have time to even glance at it, not to mention posting this, but I wanted to let you know about it!

Of course the newspaper benefits greatly from having our 'F. O'Bourke' cartoon in it... :P

Actually, our cartoon suffers a little from being in black and white - the red blood really adds to it in full technicolour. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a full colour webcomic magazine?? I know, I know, it would be crazy costly and push the price up and wouldn't actually be worth it at all... but we can dream right?

Anyway, I shouldn't harp on that because the newspaper is extremely good quality, I was impressed with the quality of the articles. I read an interesting interview with Andrew Kaiko, creator of 'Norm and Cory' and I read a really great article and interview about Blank Label Comics.

The articles are well written, informative and entertaining, and the interviews actually ask pertinent questions which elicit answers that are really of interest - not just the usual self-marketing drivel I have come to expect from so many other sources!

Also, we are delighted to be in it ourselves alongside other really great webcomics such as Dinosaur Comics, Voices in my Hand, White Ninja, Digital Strips and LOADS of others. We're keeping damn good company these days.
