Hi everyone!

The one thing harder than actually making the comic is promoting it! This is one hard fact that I’ve realized lately!
It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a ground breaking masterpiece of a comic in your hands if no one’s reading it… Promoting a comic on the net is a very hard task indeed, but if you keep at it, it’s going to pay off.
I think I’ve joined about five comic portals now (the ones you can see on the right, plus a few others) some of them offer hosting for your comic, and some of them are just listings… Most of them have got forums, which is a good thing, because they often have sections called “Self promotion” or “Site showcase” etc. where you can tell people about your comic and answer questions and stuff, so that is definitely something you should check out.

I’m thinking of adding a “links” section where I could put links to good sites for people who want to learn how to improve their drawing skills or find art resources and stuff… if you have any suggestions on this or other ways to improve this site, drop me a line! Either by e-mail (mailman-AT-pierreonline.net) or by commenting in the shoutbox to the right.

Now, enjoy page 9! And thanks for checking in and for supporting my comic! \(^O^)/

PS: Completely off-topic, but if anyone’s got a Spotify invitation they can spare… I’m here for you! hehe ;)

Hello everyone and welcome to my webcomic ‘Pierre the Baking Cat’!

This is the first serious attempt at making a webcomic I’ve ever done. I don’t know much about anything that revolves making comics really, so I guess we’ll see how it goes :D The only thing I know is that it’s a lot of hard work and that I’ll have to be persistent and don’t give up! Don’t worry, I won’t! (^v ^ )

To the right you can see my Twitter-feed, here you can follow my progress with the comic between my posts here on the website. I’ll twit about stuff like how far I’ve come with the comic pages, what I’m doing at the moment and maybe post some useful or funny links from time to time.

Oh, and this comic reads from RIGHT to LEFT – Japanese style baby! (’ ▽ ‘ ) I know some of you are going to have a problem with this, but to my defence I can tell you it’s for a reason.

Except for wanting to tell you this story about Pierre, I’m also making this comic because I’m planning to enter contests with it; like the ‘Morning International Comic Competition’ for instance, which specifically welcome foreign comic creators.
There are other contests too (Japanese ones) that require your work to be in Japanese, black & white and of course, read from right to left…

As for me, it has become second nature to read this way. I lived in Japan for over 5 years, I have always loved manga and even now when I’m back home (in Sweden), if I go to the book store to pick up a manga, it still reads from right to left.
How about your country? Do the company that translates the manga also make it read from left to right?

Anyways, if you can live with the fact that the comic reads this way, and also that I’m a complete beginner at making comics I hope you’ll be able enjoy the comic as much as I enjoy making it!

Peace! (^▽^)v
