Keith and Anthony chat about the ways they market their comics.
Our heroes discuss the various methods they have considered and used for advertising and sharing their comics. Some methods are more personal (such as conventions), others rely on automated distribution (e.g. stores available through one's website), and Keith has even dabbled with advertising on websites other than his own.
