How Not to Run a Comic is a user-submitted webcomic, which lampoons other popular Internet webcomics, including comics drawn on lined paper, sprite comics, or even, sprite comics drawn on lined paper. Other types including comics with dialogues in leet-speak (or 133t-speak), or comics drawn on hand.
The site is fairly popular for its bad entries (which are usually intentional), and while this is a humor website, it is normally viewed as a teaching guide for cartoonists interested in starting their own webcomic, using these entries as examples of common mistakes, and of what to avoid when planning a webcomic.
There are many topics covered by this website, including "How Not to Start a Webcomic", "How Not to Kill off a Character", and "How Not to do Filler".
The site originally began as a joke on the Comic Genesis forum [1], in which users submitted their own bad webcomics; it grew large enough to merit its own webpage.
The web site is most popular among webcartoonists or people who want to start their own webcomics.
