But Willie! We neeeed you! We neeeeed ITCH. *cling*

Maybe you could sucker some more people in to helping out with ITCH on a voluntary basis? I don’t know how that would work, but maybe it would help take some of the pressure off your one-woman band.

Onward!

Thank you everyone! ^__^

Toffeeliz: yes, getting attention from NEO was definitely a high point. An iphone thing would be very cool, but like you, I’ve no idea how to go about it. X| One for the research list.

Hoshii! You know you my favrite rite? *lol* Don’t worry about giving back, just be awesome. That’s enough. (And buy my stuff. That’s good too. )

@Yakumo: I do use POD. The prices not being great is part of what’s created my problem, I think. But the alternative is dedicating half a room in my two room flat to book storage. o_O As you say though, I’ll find a way. Yes.

[...] accountable. The lovely Willie Hewes – who’s celebrating the second birthday of her comic book publishing company, ITCH, is my butt-kicking partner, and we keep one another on track. I also have T, a friend at church [...]

Happy Birthday brave little publisher!
And Happy New Year Willie! ^_^
I think it’s okay to halt growing, as long as you do continue
Here’s to wishing my comrades will find time this year to get involved with Itch. Other than that, it kindof sounds like a print-on-demand service would suit your capacity issues well, even if their prices aren’t so great.
But I’m sure you’ll find a way. You’ve made commendable efforts and it’ll be interesting to see what you’re up to next.
Best wishes for the new year to you ^.^v

“Rather than trying to publish all the cool stuff out there myself, I can give you the tools and knowledge to do it”

This. This is special. The blog that you do here is one of my main resources and online-bibles, and I’m sure other people feel the same way. That being siad, I’m starting to wonder what I(or we) can give back to you for doing this for us.

I had always assumed that ITCH did cover its own costs through the book sales, quite a suprise that it doesn’t! You really do more than you ever had to for us <3

Hey Willie, happy new year to you.
It sucks to hear you’re struggling at the moment, but I’m glad to hear you aren’t closing up shop on Itch. It’s been a great year for you from what I can see; the review of Leek and Sushi in Neo being one of those highlights I’m sure. I hope you get even more success this year.

A free/cheap way of getting publcity and money for Itch may be to publish the comics through an iTouch/iPhone app like Keenspot do? I don’t know how you’d go about that though.

Have a great year!
