Advice re: Restarting my comic?

Questions

Updating within the same Chapter?

Questions

I noticed the same thing recently. When I started uploading I was thinking along the lines of "if my comic were an animated series, each chapter would be an episode's worth of content" but then I realised readers wouldn't be notified of updates, and there'd be no way to leave a note with each page. …

What job do you work at other than create comics?
