Well. This is one that really needs color. But here it is anyway, a bit earlier for once. The things that are important to note is that panel two is sepia (we're not really looking at it, it's happening somewhere else) and that, in panel six, the weird force-field effect in the doorway disappears...

You know, I remember how exciting (albeit dystopian) cyberpunk was back in the '80s. I never foresaw this stupider, more boring future: me sitting in a room surrounded by computers and anime crap, screaming like a muppet as everything I try to fix takes me down yet another hellrabbithole: looking...

We're coming near the end of the volume. I can't believe it.
I need to step up our release dates.
I'll try not to forget the time tonight! Sunday night Cheyenne sent us a low-res for approval, but then the high-res took a while to get here for some reason, and I went off to do s...

I've spent most of the day watching tutorial videos for ShipStation. ShipStation is in many ways wonderful, and is saving my bacon as far as Australian shipping is concerned, but the interface is not as user-friendly for me as something like PirateShip. Pirate Ship is amazing, and their branding ...

Ok! Here's Friday's page, and I'm finally getting my feet under me after a week of all kinds of discombobulating events, the worst of which was the death of a friend that I liked very much but didn't know as well as I meant to, and now it's too late. So yeah. I've been processing that.
But ...

I've found a way to get the packages to Australia, so I am very happy. ShipStation can do it via Stamps.com. They have a special Global Advantage Program where they pack up everything and send it via one of their carriers. They say it takes a little longer than USPS, ...

So the toilet overflowed and there was water all over the place, and now I'm trying to deal with figuring out how much water got into the floor (a lot) and how to dry it out properly. Adventure!

Clarification on the Webtoon thing, my intention was to start with book one and play with the format to match the kind of thing they do there, serializing it a little at a time. It won't affect anything about the main pa...

Happy Lunar New Year!
It looks like I'm going to have to delay the Kickstarter for Volume 20 until March, so in the meantime I'm going to be working on getting the word out about it.
Edits AGAIN: It's because I have other stuff I wanted to do tonight, isn't it? I CANNOT GET THIS PAGE RIGHT. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT I NOTICE SOMETHING ELSE!
Okay, yes. Skifander is underground. Something like a Hollow Earth situation. Agatha would already know this, because she, you ...

Edit: and now it's in color!
I'm going to keep this short, because back in November we mixed up a batch of eggnog, and I just had some, and it was, ah, quite strong. So I'm feeling dopier than usual.
In the last panel, I got the lines mixed up, so I've fixed it in the final. You can still see the earlier version in the...

Well. What's going on here in the Studio, eh? I'm prepping the next Kickstarter campaign, which will just be flat paper things. Like books.
