Well, this is a first, isn’t it? And here you thought nobody’d ever start howling in this comic. I’m looking forward greatly to drawing some Very Different Things in the next run of pages. It’s been yonks since I’ve gotten to just hunker down and do a bunch of designs and development doodles and such. Normally it’s so fun that I avoid doing it, lest I enjoy myself too thoroughly and get sucked into a deadly FunSpiral.
We are approaching Holiday Event Horizon! If you live in the US, there is still time for some last minute orders over at the store; domestic orders get a free upgrade to priority shipping this week.
Until next week! I’ll see you all on the other side of the solstice.
And, just like that: here we are.
Today (Friday, December 9th) is your last day to take advantage of the SPINOZA discount code at the store – 20% off your order! That includes special-order prints – if you’ve been dying for a specific page, the discount: APPLIES! You could also order a personalized book with an original sketch in it – for the price you’d normally pay for a blank copy. Diggity.
But this magic will only last until Friday is finished here on the West coast of America. Move quickly, my chickens!
All sorts of familiar things making (re)appearances! It’s fun to draw circles.
Holiday shoppers! This is your last week to use the code SPINOZA in the store to get 20% of your order. If you’ve already got the delightfulness on offer there, keep on eye on my Etsy store today. Starting at 12pm Pacific, I’ll be posting over a dozen itty-bitty, one-of-a-kind watercolor paintings, most 2.5×3.5 inches, for sale throughout the day! I don’t sell art very often, and these paintings are fun because they’re way more affordable than bigger pieces.
Also! Last weekend I appeared on the 3rd annual Freelancer Roundtable, hosted by Katie Lane of Work Made For Hire and featuring fellow knuckleheads Bill Mudron and Erika Moen. We answered audience questions and said inappropriate things and just generally had a delightful time. You can listen to it in audio form or watch our antics on camera at the bottom of the Podcast page.
Lastly, there’s a new set of Notes up, for pages 210-219! Possibly the sauciest set of notes I’ve written yet.
Dramatic ankles! And so much wolf fur. Oh lord so much. Man, if you knew the anxiety and anticipation I had coming up to this page! But in the end it all comes down to poinking in individual strands of fur.
Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow Americans (and the American-resident). I would hardly be patriotic if I did not provide an economic stimulus for the holiday season, so if you make your way to the Store and enter discount code “Spinoza” at checkout, you will get 20% off your entire order! (Note: Bite Me! is still between printings, but there is plenty of other fun to be had.)
Thank you for ordering – and happy incipient holidays, y’all.
Just when you think you’re going to spend a nice evening devouring a rabbit in the peace and quiet of your own snow-filled valley… Last week will be the end of this little sequence, and then, friends, we will officially be Getting Places.
Thank you to everybody who came out for Comics Underground last night! Portlanders, it is a genuinely delightful event – consider attending in January.
American Thanksgiving looms before us this coming week. I’ll be spending the holiday weekend updating the Notes section (hurray!) and then on Thanksgiving Sunday I’ll be appearing in another annual Freelancer Roundtable podcast, facilitated by Katie Lane and featuring Bill and Erika. Stay tuned!
