RANDALL MUNROE (XKCD) ON MAKING COMICS
According to this article, Munroe says there are 3 ways he makes XKCD:1. starting from the punch line and working backwards
2. setting up a situation and letting it play out
3. drawing a panel somewhere in the middle and working to both ends of the strip
On using personal experiences for material:
Two years is about the time it takes to stop being emo about things and make it funny.
Munroe giving a talk @ Google:

Makes a wonderful observation: in Nicholas Gurewitch’s strips, color is often used as a punchline.
PBF is definitely one of my favorite strip comics, along with Achewood and XKCD, because it doesn’t just create a world—it’s a UNIVERSE of worlds.
