Hey Shawn,
8-bit theater has all their comics for free Brian gets his money from donations and from selling stuff........ At Megacon in Florida he was there and I would have bought his $35 dollar book that's unrelated to the web comic just because it was made by him. If you make a webcomic it should generate more hits and more die hard fans who will buy your stuff just because you made it and they love the whole pink lemonade thing!
