Starting today, Webcomic Planet is now under new management and ownership. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Byron Wilkins, the comic artist behind 1977 the Comic. Today, Webcomic Planet and the Webcomic Planet Collective have been taken over by me.
I intend on continuing the WPC and the WCPC. There will be some changes, but not until I have communicated with everyone, either via posts on the site or in emails. This is a great website and will continue to be so. It will grow too, but with your help.
For now, if you have questions or concerns, send them to me at byron@1977thecomic.com and I will address them as quickly as I can. There is a lot to do around here and I am still in transition with Phil.
Phil is still around as our technical guru and his chat room is over at Frumph.net. So if you need help with your Word Press/Comic Press site, he’s the person to see!
As for this site, sit back and relax for the moment. We’ll grow this thing together. Rock on, man!
Byron
glad to have you, Byron. Looking forward to seeing how things develop!
Thanks Dawn! I’m excited by this too. Will be fun… that’s how I work. :)
Congrats to you, Byron! I’m sure WCP will continue to be great.
And I’m glad to know that Frumph is still going to be around, too. YAY!
This site would not function without Phil’s knowledge. It was a requirement of mine that he stay to do that function as technical guru. I’d be lost on that stuff for sure!
Thanks for the support too! This is and will continue to be great! :)
Cool! Congratulations! This explains why no one ever got back to me about whether or not I could become a part of the collective.
I’ll be sending all the apps to Byron tomorrow =)
Let me get caught up and I shall get those applications processed. Patience! We’re getting there!
Grats on that Byron :)
Thanks, Kurt!
Byron, that’s great news! I was worried but now feel 1,000% better. Congratulations!
Everything works out in the end. That’s how it goes, right? Yeah, right, Byron…
Anyway, good things are coming! :)
Awesome stuff Papa!
Thanks, son! :)
Congrats Byron! – Heres wishing you the very best of luck with WCP!
Very cool Andy! We’ll all get there together. That’s what a community does.
:)
Guess we’ll see what happens then, eh? :)
I make things fun, know that. If it ain’t fun, then why do it?
WOW, this seemed to come out of no where. First Byron took over as co-host on TGT Webcomics, and now this. I’m glad Frumph is still around but I wonder what made him give up his baby? I hope Byron will be able to keep up the high standards already set in place by Phil
I plan on focusing my attention on serving the design needs of the webcomic community more =)
I will do my best to carry on what’s been started here. It’s a great foundation and building on it will be fun to do.
As far as TGT and this, those two events are separate and really not tied together. I know Phil like the rest of us… as a talented guy who more than knows his stuff about programming. I value Phil’s friendship and that’s how my taking over the WCP happened.
In terms of the Co-hosting Byron is just a Special Guest Co-host. In fact anyone can be a special guest co-host on TGT; Past guests, Collective members, People that I’ve worked with or had intelligent conversations with.
Just need to twitter DM me or email me and I’ll mark down and get you involved.
Awesome Byron! Thanks!!
Thanks! It will be awesome, it already is! :)
Let the media empire begin! MU-HAHAHAHAHA! (Just remember the little people on the way up the ladder, brutha!)
“Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design…. Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle station!”
Something like that… I love “Return of the Jedi” :)
Wow! I’m looking forward to what’s in store Byron!
Me too! To quote Indian Jones, “I’m makin’ this up as I go…”
:)
Best wishes to you with the WCP & the WCPC Byron! They will both be in very capable hands!
For a guy who, only two years ago, couldn’t draw a decent hand holding a joint to heading up the WCP, it has been quite the ride! I’m having fun, and I want everyone else to have fun as well.
BTW, I do look like your avatar at times… :)
You only like my avatar “at times” huh?!? *grin* …do I want to know what yer thinking the “other” times?!? LOL
I am SOOOOOOOO happy about this news. <3 =)
Hooray for the save!!! :D
Glad this making everyone happy… that was the idea! :)
Good news. Congrats Byron.
Thanks for all you have done Phil. Good luck on the next phase.
Thanks, man!
Thumbs up an hats off to Byron and Phil! Want to tAke this time to salute Phil and the work and love he’s put into this baby. Respect. Looking forward to the new era!
Heroic regards from Germany to the two of you, Byron and Phil! These are awesome news!
What the F##$%. Whats the reason for the change?
You will have to ask Phil about his reasons… I hope as the new features of the site roll out, You’ll be happy with them.
Well cool. Glad you were the one to step up and grab the wheel. I was among those that had pretty much given up hope for WCPC ages ago. :-D
Curious to see where it goes from here.
I’ll be contacting everyone very shortly and explain a few more things. Sit tight, we’re just about to rock and roll.
:)
I for one (belatedly) welcome my new funky doped up overlords! Great news!
