Ahh, Reona feels. :(
HEY! Hey. We’re going to be doing a kickstarter soon for Volume 3! I’ve almost got all the volume 2 artist edition books drawn in and out, and we wouldn’t want me to not have to slave over book sketches, now would we? No, we would not. Anyway, watch for it! I hope you’ll help if you can! More details on it soon!

Hey all you Zaplings out there! Pascalle and I are going to be on the Moonhawk Studios Podcast tonight and we’ll be talking, and chatting, and answering questions and just generally being heard by peoples’ ears.

Kickstarter Rewards
Hey there, ladies and jellyspoons! In case you didn’t know, Pascalle and I will Β be trying out Kickstarter to get the funding for Volume 3! This will be never before published volume (not an updated reprint) of some of my personal favorite bits of the comic! If you would like to see the video explaining it a bit better (and with the two of us a bit shloshed) check it out HERE!
Now that I’m sure you are just bursting with excitement, I’ll get to the point at hand. I’m trying to finish up the details on our Kickstarter and we were wondering what kind of rewards would you guys like to see for this campaign? Never say we don’t try to make you people happy! Leave a comment here with your ideas.

((DON’T CLICK THAT IF YOU WANT TO TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN!))
Everything is getting so complicated! Almost like some big, massive plan was set into motion and now all the parts are falling into place…
HMMMmmmm.

I mailed out a few Artist Edition books last week! I hope you all got them and love them! More will be going out this week! If you want to order your own, they are still available in the webcomic bucket store! yay!
Closing Time
So, yesterday I was working on outlines and story details, something I do from time to time to make sure that I’m on track with everything story-wise before I draw, and as I was scribbling the outline it really hit me how close Zap! is to being over. I knew we’ve been well over the halfway point for a long time, but I just kept saying to myself “Oh, there’s two arcs left” but there isn’t! Not anymroe!
There’s just one whole story arc left after we finish this one, and this one is starting the uphill climb to the roller coaster finish. I kind of can’t believe it!
Zap! has been a daily part of my life for the past nine years. In that time I graduated high school, went to and graduated college, got jobs, bought a house, and so many other life experiences, but there wasn’t a day that went by were I didn’t think about Zap! in some way. I’ll be honest with you and say that I kind of had a moment when I realized where I’m at in drawing this thing; that I’ll be drawing the ending in the not-so-distant future.
Now, don’t fret about it being over so soon, you guys. It’s still going to take me a couple years to draw through it all, and there’s so many amazing things about to happen in the story, you’re going to love it! I’m so excited to be able to show it to you. I know many of you have been waiting for something very specific to happen, and I just know the wait is going to be worth it for you!
When Chris and I started this comic all those years ago, we thought we’d have a few readers, but I don’t know! I never thought about being here. I never thought we’d go to SDCC or print books or be invited as convention guests. I never thought I’d meet so many amazing people. Some of you have been reading since the beginning and I’m just so grateful! I’ve made friends with some of you and I’m sure there are more of you who are really neat people who I’ll never meet, but I’m still glad you found us and sat down and read this thing. I hope it brought you all as much joy as it has brought me over the years!
I don’t know what spurred this. It’s kind of mushy, I guess. I’m not normally emotional about stuff like this, but I guess this comic has grown to mean a lot to me. I just appreciate all of you, and this experience! I’ve learned so much.
So, as we wrap up the last two story-arcs, I hope you all can take a moment to enjoy your Zap! experience. We’ve still got a few years left together. I think they will be good ones.
xoxo

HAPPY ZAP! #600! Wowee! I have been drawing this comic for 9 years! Thank you so much to everyone for reading! We just have a couple more story arcs left and I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE REST OF ZAP! <3
To celebrate, here’s a little scribble comic I did about how Holly met Inman.
