507 | Back to the Surface

And now you know why Reona didn’t drown!

506 | Butter-Fingers

Poor Zap! He’s having a tough time, for sure. How can you tell mean apparition Reona from real falling through the mindscape Reona? Maybe the stump? Is the arm stump a giveaway? Come on, Zap. Get on the ball guy!

Quick note:Β  US CUSTOMERS: If you are planning on getting something from the store, you are down to the wire on the holiday shipping timeline. Order now so we can be sure that your goodies make it in time. INTERNATIONAL PEEPS: We can probably still get something to you in time, but we’ll have to charge a little extra for rush. Contact us first with your location so we can crunch the numbers.

Also, you guys, this weekend I got a haircut! AND saw Tangled (It was a very hairy weekend!). The chameleon’s name is Pascal! I never see movies with characters named Pascalle, Pascal, Paschal (or any other spelling) so that was kind of a big deal for me. I maybe freaked out a little.Β  Plus, the movie is really great! It felt like good old golden age Disney from the 80s and early 90s. If you haven’t seen it, go and enjoy.

505 | Fancy Meeting You Here

BUTT CHEEK!

There. Now you all don’t have to comment on it. Reona has been upside down for the past three weeks! That’s a record, I bet.

You guys, I have a serious fear of commitment, but I got over it enough to finally get Netflix. WOW. It is great. I love to put on documentaries while I work on the comic, and there are so many! I am in love with Netflix. I think we are in it for the long haul.

Thanks for reading. :)

UPDATE: Oh, and I forgot! I started a Zap! group on Deviant Art this weekend. FOR YOU.

504 |A Little Off the Top

OMG! Things are getting intense! What is going on in that bottom panel, you guys??

Also, fun fact, if you read through this scene again, starting here, you can watch the sun set in the background. :)

I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes here to get volume one ready to go back to print. We’re almost out of both volume 1 and 2 and I wanted to redo some stuff (like removing the keenspot banners, updating the covers, etc) before printing them again. So, be on the look out for the updated books (hopefully soon, if the proof comes back okay). If you have an older version of volume 1 or 2 you won’t need to re-buy these books. I’m making sure the story pages are the same because it doesn’t seem fair to make you buy them again for no reason. Now, if you want to because you want the new covers, don’t let me talk you out of it!

In my life news I bought a new fridge and I am SO STUPID EXCITED about it. My old one pees all over the floor at various times, for no reason that I have ever been able to discern. I told it that it’s days are numbered. (I’m giving it away with the warning that “It has a bladder control problem, but it does keep your food cold.”)

Thanks for reading! <3 you guys!

503 | Pirate vs. Ninja

[the artist has fallen asleep at her computer. please accept this humble offering of webcomic, which she slaved over a hot cintiq to deliver unto you.]

[also, she has a doodle blog. Where you aware? She always forgets to mention it.]

502 | These Situations

Robot might be on to something…

Also! Here is an art:

Billy The Squid Update part 55867

Here is the latest Squid Update I got from Patch Together:

All made and ready, we have 100 units shipped to us for NYCC (without box) and we are waiting the rest shipped to us via ocean freight. We should receiving them by the end of Dec.

So, the real thing to take away is that, unless the freighter sinks and all the squids return to their natural habitat, they should be arriving and going out to you guys soon. It only took a year… right? *crosses fingers*
