A Bit About Klobásníky
I mentioned these briefly in my last newsletter about kolaches, but there’s more to say on the topic of klobásníky.
Since making a few comics about kolaches for this newsletter, I’ve been mulling over the kolache minicomic I had been planning, and I’ve decided to reorganize it completely. It will have my kolache recipe, but also full recipes for the fruit, cheese, and poppy seed fillings, plus recipes for buchty rolls, Moravian style double-layer kolaches, Wallachian frgály (big pie-sized kolaches), klobásníky, and maybe even a few more things. It’ll be a little pocket kolache comic book cookbook! I’ll share the art here as I work on it – honestly, this newsletter will probably be the best motivator for me to actually get this comic made.
I have really, really missed this. When I started “I Think You’re Sauceome” as a webcomic 15 years (!!) ago, it was my excuse to draw regularly, but it was also my sandbox. I used it to experiment, to try using different media or layouts or techniques. I’m very happy to come back to another platform where I can stretch a bit, preview new work, and try new things.
Don’t worry, this won’t become an all-kolaches newsletter. We’re almost into pawpaw season here in the American midwest, and I’ve been meaning to draw some comics about pawpaws for a while. I can talk your ear off about pawpaws.
(Not everything is about kolaches, but one time I made a batch of kolaches with homemade pawpaw jam, and they were fabulous.)
Shameless self promotion:
I’ll talk more about this soon, but I will be out of the country from 9/19-10/5. I’ll be closing my online shop during that time. If you’d like a signed book or print or holiday cards, make sure to place your orders before 9/18.
My Threadless shop is separate, so it will still be functioning while I’m gone. Speaking of, everything there is on sale until the morning of 9/2! $12.50 Tees + up to 40% off Everything!
Upcoming things:
October 11: I will be leading a recipe comics workshop at the Logan Square Library in Chicago!
October 18: I will be exhibiting at SLICE in St. Louis!
October 24: I’ll be in Madison at the Wisconsin Book Festival!
December 6: I’ll be speaking on a panel and selling books at Sulzer Regional Library in Chicago!
What I’m into lately:
I forgot I did this, but months ago, when I heard about Chuck Tingle’s newest book, Lucky Day, I put myself on the library hold list for it. It’s here! I only just picked it up this weekend, but I can’t wait to dive in!
What Toki’s into lately:
Toki’s soaking up that summer sun while he can, and we encourage you to do the same! (^_^)
