...that, and how the hell does building a website even work. Or paying for one.

you can use webcomic sites! there's free ones for everyone to use (like comicfury and uh, this one site with ducks in the url i forget which one it was) and there are comic circles, i.e. people who buy a domain/has a website and add comic artists who do a specific kind of comic genre to it. alternatively you could buy a domain and host it with comicfury/another comic hosting site, usually for free.
...i was p. serious about this when i started lmf 8D

Now that I think about it, I should probably stop fretting over the daunting things like HOW DO I WEBSITE and actually work on material first. Then cross the website bridge when I actually have stuff to have a website for.

LMAO. i learned the website stuff before i started doing comics so that was my problem solved, but yeah. you could go with smackjeeves or comicpress default layouts to start with and slowly code things here and there as you go along.
