Making a Webcomic Book on Amazon Part 2 - Tom Ray's Art Podcast

I recently made a series of videos about publishing my webcomics as print-on-demand books on Amazon. I thought I would share this on the art podcast as I'm doing the setup for my fourth book this year.

I gave some background about how I started my webcomic in the last episode of the podcast. 

This time I share how my webcomic transformed from something I was just posting on my website, to a thing that I could find multiple uses for at once.

It's so weird, in my books I'm telling very personal things in my webcomics themselves but the cover is the thing that is making me anxious. I mean this is gonna be what I show when I say to people, hey I created this book you should check it out!  Maybe I'm being silly I don't know? ( Related post: Using Google Photos and Google Docs To Make My Webcomic Book ) Using other books as references for the cover What I did to kind of help me with this is I would reference these old comic strip books that I have.
