MEETING COMICS

KICKSTARTER!

Hey folks! As I type this on Sunday, my kickstarter is at $2210 of $2500, and has ten days to go. It's been at that amount for a few days now. All my campaigns have kind of stalled out for a while in the middle, and this one is no exception. I'd like to have it hurry up and hit $2500, so I can quit worrying about that, but I think it's going to reach the goal, so I'm not too worried.

Above is the image of a stretch goal zine. If the campaign passes the $2500 funding goal and hits $3000, I'll put together some kind of companion zine for backers, and if I print it, I'll also make sure patreon people get copies as well. Anyone at the $5 or higher level will get it in print, and the $3 tier will get it digitally. And if it doesn't hit $3K, I don't have to put a zine together.

I don't even know for sure what to put in the zine yet. Probably some pinup art and commentary. It will almost certainly not be a zine about Tina and Ellie baking a cake. I just really liked there being an ancillary zine for TINA AND ELLIE TAKE THE CASE called TINA AND ELLIE BAKE A CAKE.

Here's the kickstarter link!

MORE RACCOONS

I’ve finished two more pages of NO RACCOONS IN HELL since my last email newsletter, and they are up at my patreon!

Here are preview panels for both of them:

I’m excited to be back on track and making these comic pages regularly again.

ASSORTED ART

Here’s a bunch of recent art I’ve done!

and then here's a drawing I did to illustrate something I observed that I was trying to describe to someone:

This was what made me draw this:

I saw a roughly 12-year-old boy wearing Crocs who was sitting at a computer, and who had, using the floor and the motion of his feet, folded the backs of the shoes to where they were almost at a 90° angle from normal, and when I saw this sight, I said, "this mf wearing chunky heels."

OK, great. Take care, and here’s that kickstarter link again!

Thanks for reading!
