I had a friend alert me to this post! I have some suggestions. I just started making comics this year on my substack. The substack called The Gutter [ https://thecomicsgutter.substack.com/ ] is a great place to submit and see new artists. And finally there's a podcast series about making comics that's got a lot of energy and is super encouraging called "The Terrible Anvil" which is on the Sequential Artists' Workshop (SAW) substack [https://sawcomics.substack.com/ ] .

Thanks for sharing! Been looking for more cartoonists to connect with and check out their stuff. Definitely recognize a number of people on the list!

I would like to suggest my substack for your list as well, where I have been publishing a psychological comic called Processing as well as a new series called STEPPERS about political resistance. Appreciate your consideration!

I’d like to humbly submit my comic for consideration. I’ve been drawing a daily autobio comic for close to 9 years now and moved them over to Substack a few months ago.

Also, what wonderful list. I knew some of the authors, but it’s exciting to read even more!

I'm not currently updating it at this point--but I might do an update later this year or early next year. Congrats on getting a new substack going :)

Great list, I can't wait to dig into it! I also make indie comics, they're free here on Substack: https://roseannethorne.substack.com/

Subjects such as: Psychotic Victorian housecats stage mutinous uprising against their slatternly mistress. And: No-Touch Sanitary Smart Trash Can develops a will of its own
