513 | What Is Your Deal
Poor Naveed! She’s pretty much killed Reona several times and crazy stuff just keeps happening. And now there’s like all this splashing.
Originals on SALE!
So, pretty much I want to clean out my studio space and the darned thing is just full of the original pencil drawings from the comic. I’m lousy with them! I want them to go away! You should buy them! Then you can have them and enjoy them and I can have some drawing space back.
I’ve started with the most recent few, but if there is one page in particular that you would like, drop me a line and I will see if it is one that I still have and can get to you. Since I started working on the cintiq a few years ago I’m just left with all these pencil pages that I don’t need once they’re scanned and inked on the computer. Right now they are just a massive pile beside my scanner and spilling out of the bookshelves.
So, there you have it. Have a look!
New Fan Art
Here’s a cool new star wars inspired fanart from zapling KryptonAngel. Don’t you miss Zap’s old bomber jacket? I sure do. Thanks, KryptonAngel!

Things are getting SUPER intense.
Today is my brother Pat’s birthday! Here is what I got him! 10 out of 10 nerds agree that it is awesome.
Hey, and don’t forget that volume 1 preorders are still happening and that the squid toys are now shipping.

Welcome back, Reona.
Did you see the news about volume 1 preorders and the crazy book clearance we have going on right now? I feel that is something that you should check out. It is highly likely that it is relevant to your interests.
Zap! Volume 1 preorders & mega book sale!
So, things have been pretty busy behind the scenes here at Zapland. In addition to managing the site and drawing pages I’ve been remastering volume 1 for re-print. Our books used to be through keenspot and when we parted ways with keenspot, we were left with very few of the books in stock. So for the past month I’ve been revamping pages for the printer and double checking proofs so that we could get our very own, creator-owned and published Zap! books out.
Now the books are being printed and should be ready to ship in early February. I’m really excited about them! They have beautiful, bright glossy covers, more vibrant interior colors and are in general prettier than the keenspot edition books.
These books are 140 pages, that’s 4 pages longer than the 136 page keenspot editions! But I made sure to keep the story pages the same because I didn’t want to screw those of you who have the keenspot editions and just want to collect the whole story in book form. The extra 4 pages in these are bonus art and the Excelsior Unleashed side comic omitted from the original keenspot editions.Β Both books are manga-sized 5 x 7.5 inches.
These babies are on pre-order now. There are artist edition and standard edition available. Artist edition comes with a drawing of your request, up to two characters!
ORDER ARTIST EDITION $20 | ORDER STANDARD EDITION $15.95
In addition to this new book, the old keenspot covers are on mega sale to clear them out. There are deals all around!

Zap! Cast Doodles
I thought it would be fun to do some doodles of the entire cast at the start of the new year. Due to the way the comic is structured, I sometimes go a whole year in between drawing certain characters (when was the last time we saw Prez Billings & co??) so for my warmup sketches this week I did sharpie sketches of each character. It was a fun exercise and I’d like to do a follow up series in a year or so.
Anyway, there it is. Hope you enjoy it!

Ganny is my favorite too.
Squids now Arriving!
Zapling Yohshee sent me this awesome shot of their Billy squid! I’ve heard from a few people who have gotten their squids, so I’m super glad they’re starting to arrive at their new homes! Send me your pictures!
If you don’t have a squid and want to get one, they’re shipping now from Patch Together and are still listed at $9.95:
I think we’ll need to have a ‘Kill Billy’ picture contest once the squids get here.

Here is a link for those of you who don’t remember what droppers are.
