MEETING COMICS

IT’S HOT

Be careful out there. It’s very hot and very humid where I am. Spring is very over!

HEROES CON REPORT

My report on Heroes Con is very simple: I went down to Charlotte on Sunday, talked to friends and acquaintances, and bought a few cheap old Archie comics. It’s always great to spend time with my comics pals.

MAKE A TERRIBLE COMIC DAY

Yesterday was Make a Terrible Comic Day, a holiday which was created by Pseudonym Jones. Here’s her post on Bluesky about it, and here’s my terrible comic that I posted yesterday.

KICKSTARTER

My kickstarter ends in eight days. Maybe less, depending on when you read this and on when the email goes out. There’s a note at the top of my browser window that says “Sending emails is paused while we perform a routine account review. This usually takes less than a day, and often just a few hours.” Maybe the best bet is to say that my kickstarter ends next Thursday, July 3.

The kickstarter is currently up at just over a grand!

If we hit $1500, the page count on the bonus zine will go up to 24 pages!

What bonus zine? Well, all the information is on the kickstarter page, but: in addition to my new comic, NO RACCOONS IN HELL part one, backers will get a pinup zine called PEEKS AND VALLEYS as well.

Here’s the link to the kickstarter. Please check it out if you haven’t already, but keep in mind that if you are a patreon backer at the $3 level or higher, you’ll already get the comic and zine in PDF form, and if you’re a backer at the $5 level or higher, you’ll get them in print form.

Thanks for reading!
