He’s hilarious, already does philosophy comics, and already has quite the following on twitter (@ethicistforhire)Report

Another excellent webcomic is chaospet- a lot of my favorite philosophy comics are there, like this one: http://chaospet.com/250/ He’d also be worth considering.Report

Chaospet would definitely be my vote! The “oh, no, a consequentialist” in the middle part of his Trolley Problem series makes me laugh every time I re-read it. http://chaospet.com/31-trolley-problem-again/Report

I’m personally interested to know what this “small compensation” is. Artists (especially beginners) often go underpaid for their work on the assumption that the “exposure” will make up the difference. There’s also the idea that since visual art tends to be perceived as a fun hobby that artists would be pursuing anyway, it ceases to be perceived as a form of labor. Given that this hypothetical comic artist will be doing the concept work, writing, as well as the art itself on a bi-weekly basis, how much exactly will you offering per comic? As a philosopher who does art commissions on the side (not comic-style art, however), I know that even one comic strip (sketches, inking, colors, lettering, etc) can take hours of work, not to mention the effort it takes to come up with amusing ideas. Are you prepared to pay this artist at least minimum wage for their work? Pardon me if this was your intention all along, but this is a big problem in the freelance art community and the almost playful tone of your offer with the exposure-talk tacked on at the end makes me a little suspicious.Report
