It's the November Newsletter Spectacular!!

Autumn… the time to shine for fun guys.

Wow, November already! A big thanks to everyone who signed up for my newsletter at Zine Machine and the Flart market! For everyone who’s new here, this newsletter is where I post updates on my current projects and more! For everyone who’s not new here, hi. Thanks for coming back!

INOSCULARUM UPDATES

an in-progress panel of the comic Inoscularum, where Ariadne, one of the main characters, is looking down at two books and saying, "I never saw any book like this."

Exciting news!! I have pencilled out all of the pages to issue 1 of Inoscularum!! I’m still hoping/planning to have this issue finished and printed by this coming spring or summer. I’m also almost done with my thumbnails for issue 2, so I’m excited to break ground on that soon!

It’s wild to take on such a long-form narrative, because I’m realizing with my current amount of available time, I’ll probably be making about an issue per year, or maybe per nine months. The story is most likely going to take 30 or more chapters to tell, which means…

COWBOY KITTY IS OUT OF PRINT (FOR NOW)

Slasher Bunny and Cowboy Kitty sitting in a cardboard box under a streetlight on a windy night. there is a sign taped to the box that says "out of print."

I sold my last copy of The Adventures of Cowboy Kitty at the Flart market the other weekend! This means it has officially joined Slasher Bunny in my list of out of print comics (for now). But don’t worry, you can always read both of them (and all of my other comics) over on Comicfury.

I’d like to finish both of these one day, but I think I’m going to refrain from reprinting them until I can compile each of them into “complete” editions, with the entire story in one book. I’ll post any updates I have online in the meantime!

OTHER STUFF!

Alright, alright. I know why you guys really read this newsletter… it’s for all of my Anole updates. Well, the Anoles are still out and about, in spite of how chilly it’s gotten. They’re almost exclusively brown now, to blend in with all of the dead leaves on the ground. I get to see them get up to all sorts of silly things!

Here’s a comic I made this past spring about some of the silly things I’ve seen them do:

Vernal pool season is one of my favorite times of the year, but I guess hidden among all of the frog calls is a fair amount of reptilian heartbreak. Also, I realize now that First Love, Late Spring might have been a more fitting song for the jilted lizard to be listening to on her walkman, but at least where I live, vernal pool season happens in early spring, and I’m not one to spread misinformation.

Song of the Month-

November’s Song of the Month is Sat in Your Lap by Kate Bush! I just turned 30 this month, and it basically feels like this.

END OF NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Well, that’s it for now! Thanks for reading, and until next time, be sure to take some time to go outside and look at the moon. We’re all looking at the same one! The next full moon will be on December 4th.
