Duo's or Trio's making a comic.

JJMitchell:
Sideways could probably give you some ideas ... if he is willing and has time at least.

I believe there are three people who work on his comic.

Sideways:
Yup.  There are three of us.

But ours was a marriage of convenience.

Dean: Writer
Kev(me): Cartoonist
Ryan: Tech guy

It works well because while Dean /can/ draw, and well at that, he doesn't have the photoshop skillz.  His biggest love in life is the written word, and he has come up with some funny (and some really obscure) comics.

I can't think up a funny comic idea to save my life, but I can draw pretty well, and I have some photoshop skillz.

Ryan can't draw... but he's a tech guru.  Seriously, there's little related to computers that this guy doesn't know about.

So Dean writes all the comics, I draw them, and Ryan created our site (from scratch) and maintains it.

Keep in mind that the three of us have also been friends for over a decade now.

soulmoose:
In response to Sideways, I have the same set up as you basically. I write, my friend Sage draws, and we have a photoshop skillz/tech guru Helen. So far all of our specific areas work quite nicely, but we're having some troubles with work ethic. Sage and I have been wanting and planning this out for a year or so, and Helen joined just over a month ago. Sage and I work our butts off and Helen just kinda sits there with a comic while we pester her to color and put it on the webpage. She's an awesome person but I don't know how she's gonna work out.

tasteslikeevil:
Aye, the work ethic's always the rub when it comes to something you need to put out consistently, like webcomics. Things will become oh so much easier once we figure out a way to project ideas directly onto the page from our brains.

Primate:
Unfortunately, the free time in your age bracket sometimes means running into people with the interest but not the work ethic. If you and Sage are serious, then it may be time to have a discussion with Helen and be willing to find another partner if she doesn't start pulling her weight. Friendship is great, but isn't enough by itself for a project to work.
