[edit] sources?
I would like to request the information on this page be sourced and/or verified. It seems like a number of comics have been recently added but I haven't seen anything about them fully supporting the artist. Nifboy 01:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've added as may sources as I could find, and then removed the unsourced information from this list[1]. If anyone has a source for these or any other comics, then add the comic to the list but also provide a source. -- Dragonfiend 18:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] another two
I believe that User Friendly has been self-supporting for years. And I think that Unshelved recently made the jump. However in both cases I can't find the references.
[edit] criteria
To clarify, would this be the primary means of support for the cartoonist, or the cartoonist's household? Does it not count if the cartoonist's spouse has a day job, for instance? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Terra Misu (talk • contribs) 15:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
As the first line of the article currently reads: "The following Self sufficient webcomics are webcomics that produce the primary means of income for their artists and/or writers." Generally, if the comic provides enough income to be the primary support the artist/writer and pay for its own webhosting, I'd say it is self sufficient. That should rule out the 13 year olds with comics whose parents pay for the hosting but let the kids pocket the adsense money. Making "Self-sufficient" require being the sole income for the whole household might be too strict, as in these modern times, both spouses will likely work.--Kyace 20:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. McNinja?
According to the July 16, 2007 news item on drmcninja.com, the comic makes enough money to support the author, but not the inker. Does this count as 'self-sufficient'? Marvin 04:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Foglio
Phil Foglio was a notable cartoonist before there was a Web. Has he no current non-Web projects? —Tamfang 01:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
