Thanks for reading! This zine was inspired by the changes I saw in the webcomics scene over the last couple of decades. And yes, I'm a frog here! Frogs are cool. I might be changing my avatar to be a frog at some point. (🧵 9/12)

A black-and-white panel from the zine "Comic Relief". We see an anthropomorphic frog saying a lot of text.

The text reads: "Thank you for reading “Comic Relief”!

This zine is inspired by the changes I’ve seen in the comics space over the course of the last couple of decades. It’s hard to believe just how much things have evolved over the years, and unfortunately how much of it has negatively impacted creators over time.

To that end, seeing how limited current tools are for making a comic website (and being a currently-unemployed software engineer), I knew that something needed to be done.

Myself and a few others have been working on a tool called Comix Cleric that helps artists to make the comic sites they’ve always dreamed of—all modernized, customizable, easy-to-use, and most importantly: FREE!

But unfortunately, we can’t do it without help. We’re currently running a Kickstarter campaign that will help us to get over the finish line, and we’d appreciate your support.

You can check it out using the QR code on the back cover, and following us on social media would go a long way.

See you around!

The text reads: "It was this kind of environment where things like webcomics began to thrive.

Thousands of people, making their own works for the love of their craft, and gaining readers through word of mouth and recommendations.

After all, who doesn’t love comics?"

Here's the Abstract, for the slightly-longer short version.

Black text on a white background that reads as follows:

Background

Webtoon, a digital form of comics created in the Republic of Korea, has spread widely with advantages that anyone can become a cartoonist and that autonomy of creation is guaranteed. The purpose of this study is to identify the working conditions of webtoon writers and analyze the relationship between these conditions and depressive symptoms.

Methods

A survey was carried out on webtoon writers and a survey data of 312 webtoon writers were analyzed. The questionnaire included basic socio-demographic characteristics, webtoon writers’ contractual type, fields of activity (webtoon creator, story writer, illustrator), and working environment (labor discretion etc.). We investigated depressive symptoms and analyzed its relation to the work environment of webtoon writers.

Black text on a white background that reads as follows:

Results

Webtoon writers were exposed to long working hours, high labor intensity, limited labor discretion, negative comments from readers, and had a high prevalence of depressive symptoms. Compared to story writers who contracted directly with platforms, story writers and the illustrators who contracted with content providers (CPs) were 9.51 times (OR = 9.51, 95% CI = 1.47 - 61.33) and 6.47 times (OR = 6.47, 95% CI = 1.08 – 38.75) more likely to have depressive symptoms, respectively.

Conclusions

This study emphasizes the urgent necessity to improve the overall working environment in the webtoon industry and implement measures to tackle the escalating mental health challenges faced by illustrators and story writers contracted with CPs, especially given the increasing popularity of novel comics.

It's 3am and I'm tired as heck but I made a little zine with a friend and I'm really proud of how it came out and I thought you'd like to see it.

I tried out that "Too Good To Go" app recently to help reduce food waste (and get some good deals on food), and if the one place near me gave over 2 POUNDS of pastries for $5, imagine what sort of amazing deals are near YOU! Highly recommended. www.toogoodtogo.com

Platforms like #Webtoon and #Tapas are already known for becoming overly-corporatized, having poor pay & working conditions for creators, and using AI where it doesn't belong. Welcome to the club, #GlobalComix! We're feeling more and more confident about launching #ComixCleric every day. :)

As sites like Webtoon and Tapas keep getting bigger and bigger, consistently putting shareholder interests above the creativity of their platforms' creators, it's clear to see why a project like #ComixCleric is so important. It's time to put back the "Indie" in "Indie Comics". ⬇️ [Info below!] ⬇️
