You'll do better here if you don't come across as a blindingly obvious /tv/ shitposter forum sliding to /co/. Lose the shitty pic, to begin with.

People can like... two things

BCB or some other comic?

I don't see much of this, abd it usually happens because the author cannot into proper networking and community building or speedy update rates.

You need to put in the time to building fanbases on everywhere from Reddit to 4chan to Tumblr to fucking NeoGAF if you want people to follow your comic.

>cannot into proper networking and community building or speedy update rates.
You mean being lucky enough to befriend someone who's already famous so they can shill you?
Because that's pretty much the only way now.

>waah X comic doesn't get readers
post about it, then

furfags get other furfags on furaffinity to shill their comic
tumblr gets anyone reading their blogtumblr to share the pages around tumblr
same with devianart
and with mspaf when it was still alive
and twitter
and reddit
hell, even facebook

and if someone is retarded enough to make their own site instead of growing out of an already existing social platform, best they can do is join something like smackjeeves, tapastic or whatever

>completely ignored and unpopular outside of a niche following that only barely sustains that author through a patreon

It's okay Burlew, just lurk some /tg/ and it will all feel better.

It Hurts, don't it

Or you get your start making OC for fanbases, making a name for yourself off the requests of emotionally starved underaged, while improving your art, then when you have enough popularity you start your work and let word-of-mouth do the rest.

The idea that "just make good content and popularity will surely come" is or has ever been the norm for ANY creative industry is retarded.

There's a 70% chance that whenever Gob makes a work with consistently good art he'll explode as a creator, as will all his older works.

What comic is that second one?

Achewood should be /ourwebcomic/ and yet maybe 1 in 200 people on this board read it while it was around.
