Has anyone ever done a webcomic? Thought about it? I'm thinking of maybe trying to create a webcomic and launch it in the summer. I've been watching (too many) videos on how to start a webcomic, but really, they didn't cover anything I already didn't know. People talk about writing a script (which I'm horrible at but don't feel obliged to watch a nine minute video on) and creating characters and such, but everyone seems to have their own way to do it. I've never made storyboards before, but lots of people mentioned them and I'm starting to think I should make a storyboard. It's practically the same thing as sketching the page out, right? Has anyone on here made storyboards before and have advice? The problem with storyboards (when I do them) is that it takes too much time and by the time I'm done the page has lost it's glamor, the dialouge seems chuncky, and none of the characters are positioned right.
That's a really long chunck of text that I tried to break up and couldn't. There's another thing--text. Is it better to go with a sterotypical comic-book font or to go with something like Hectiva? That's really a thing of preferance, but so much of this is preferance, I don't know where to start!
Does anyone have any suggestions/advice?

I know nothing at all about art, but I suggest you use Comic Sans or something similar, since that's what most digital artists use as far as I can tell.

@Maggie, I have settled for a font I believe is called "SC Cartoonist's Hand" which looks similar to Comic Sans but a little more professional and handwritten.
This is after going through hundreds of fonts online, finding the ones avalible for public use, then narrowing it down to the ones that matched my work, and finnally which ones I could get to actually run on my program.
