Happy Monday, everyone! UPS stopped by a few minutes ago and dropped off these beautiful prints from Secret Room Press! I think they came out great. The colors are really bright and fun — I can’t wait to make another one. If you placed an order for a physical copy of Tiny Dracula #1 and are regretting that you didn’t add one of these beautiful prints to your order — send me a DM on Kickstarter. I still have a few left. I’ll send you a payment link and slide one of these into your book order when it ships!

Thank you all for making the launch of Tiny Dracula #1 such an incredible success! I’m proud to announce that I hit my funding goal early this morning — less than 48 hours after launch!

I decided to teach myself Clip Studio Paint this summer. If you’re not that familiar with Clip Studio Paint, it’s probably the #1 app used by cartoonists these days to make comics. Except for me, I guess — I’ve always just used Photoshop. And because I’ve been using Photoshop for over 20 years, I wasn’t too eager to learn an entire new app when I thought Photoshop was capable of doing everything I needed. I’d also tried an earlier iteration of CSP called Manga Studio and found it difficult to learn, so that also made me less than enthusiastic to give the newer CSP a try. But… like… everyone uses CSP these days. Like… everyone. So it has to have gotten better, right? It turns out, there’s a good reason why CSP is being used by more and more cartoonists these days — while the tools it offers are similar to Photoshop, they are better designed for making comics. I still find that some things are better done in Photoshop (editing type, for one), but there’s a lot that CSP just does better (coloring is waaaaay easier). So I’m learning to switch between the two programs and Larry, the magical

Candles and Cauldrons And Witches, Oh My!

Something magical happened this past October! A clever witch, her crafty niece, and a cranky old bird have taken over Sundae Comics! This past Fall, I took part in the month-long Inktober art challenge, attempting to make a new comic strip out of each of the daily word prompts. As anyone who has participated in Inktober can tell you, it’s difficult enough to just make a clever drawing out of each prompt. Coming up with an conceptual idea that uses the prompt, figuring out a composition, finding the time to draw and ink the finished art — for 31 straight days? Not easy. Adding in the challenge of turning each prompt into a comic strip with a punchline? Let’s just say it’s a really, really hard challenge. Really, really hard. My first attempt at this challenge was in 2019. Sundae Comics was less than a year old. I was struggling. It was taking me over a week to write and draw a single comic strip — I was just too slow and I knew it. I needed to shake things up. The comics I made in the first few days of Inktober that year were… awkward. Rushed and unfinished. But
