OMG We’re Famous!

September 14, 2008

Got featured in Indian Express! A good article about how cool the webcomic people are, by Sharon Fernandes of Indian Express. Also featured are Anshul of Brainstuck, Amrit of Shitoons and Ramkrishna of Rambling with Bellur.

Yup, read the article.

Somehow, you don’t look like the way my mental image of you was.

Oh, well…

@Hades: No use living now. I peeled off my face with a blunt, rusted knife. Will starve to death later..

Thanks.

@Hades: You hate me just because I’m famous now! :(

5 Hades 09.14.08 at 6:59 PM

I never miss Sunday Express and today as I got the copy from the stands today, I found Saad Sahab on the pages. Your blog really deserves it. Great work. Keep it up dear.

No content restriction and an infinite canvas. First Line. Defines the story.
Cheers.

@nomad, RD: Thank you, thank you!

@indscribe: Thank you. Read an Indian Express after a long time. I think they redesigned. The new layout and design is great, and the articles are much better than my current HT. Maybe a time to shift (unless HT does a front page article on Indian webcomics ;) Then I’ll love HT even more!).

@katya: Yup! That’s whats the great thing about webcomics is. Try printing this in a mainstream newspaper/magazine :D Also the infinite canvas really helps, specially people like me who cant draw well (or at all). It must be really tough working for a 3 panel column. Hats off to those guy who’ve been doing this for years.

16 Amrit 09.15.08 at 6:22 PM

Hi. Congrats. I will look into my feeds. By the way I didn’t ’scan’ the image. I saved it from the IE e-paper. :)

17 Saad Akhtar (Author) 09.15.08 at 6:33 PM

@amrit: Fixed the error. Registration for reading ePapers sure is irritating…

18 Abhiroop 09.15.08 at 8:06 PM
