Comment
Welcome to our first Question and Answer session for the currently running story arc (which begins here). I’m really eager to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have.
The way this works is you will need to post your questions as comments to this post. You can do so anonymously or you can register with the site. Also I”ll be moderating any questions before they appear in the comments section (to prevent trolling) and approving them as quickly as possible. The Q&A will remain open through the rest of the story arc (and for a brief period afterward) so feel free to take your time. Once I feel we’ve gathered enough questions I’ll answer them to the best of my ability and post the results here and on Facebook.
Thanks for participating and as always thanks for reading.
So, something kind of cool happened, last week.
Folks, I was contacted by Andrews McMeel Syndication (AMS) about a digital syndication deal for A Problem Like Jamal. You hear me? That’s Universal. They want to run Jamal on gocomics.com, you guys!
What this means is that starting September 17th Jamal, will share a house with such greats as Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot, and freakin’ Peanuts! And, even though you won’t see Jamal in your local newspapers (YET), this is the absolute fulfillment of a lifelong dream! I have been floating an inch off the ground since I first got the news.
This week, I’ll begin getting things ready for the gocomics.com debut. Getting files ready. scheduling updates. You know. Normal, Professional Cartoonist stuff. But, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to catch Jamal here, as well as on instagram, Twitter, and of course facebook. But, I hope I can also count on all of you to visit us at gocomics.com and show your support. See you all there in September!
A Problem Like Jamal is now on webtoons.com. This is good news for all you mobile comic readers. You will still be able to catch updates* in all the usual places. But, now you can keep up with Jamal on Web Toon’s mobile platform. All you’ve gotta do is download their app and you can read specially reformatted versions of the strips that have been optimized for reading on mobile devices. Web Toons also lets you comment, rate and subscribe (IMPORTANT). If a comic gets enough subscriptions they get pulled up to Power Caller Status and actually get paid!Plus subscribing means you get notifications to your phone the moment the comic updates. What’s better than that?
*All updates except for the Sunday format color comics. Those will be posted exclusively on this site.
Steve and Jason over at Digital Strips podcast were kind enough to review Jamal today! These guys are hilarious and thoughtful and probably handsome. I don’t know. They seemed to like my strip and so far everyone who’s liked my strips has been an absurdly attractive person.
You can get dat podcast hea.
Just wanted to take a minute and welcome all the new readers from the Facebook page. We’re only just getting started here, but I hope you’ll keep coming back for more! Visiting the site regularly and spreading the word about A Problem Like Jamal are some great ways to support the comic. Here are a few other ways! Be sure to check back every few days for the latest installment!
