A single-panel color comic by Madscott set against a bright blue sky with mountains and tropical foliage visible. A small, purple bird-like creature with a long neck, single yellow eye, and a shifty expression stands in the center wearing a red outfit, delicately holding a cream-colored egg with a crack forming on it. Looming in from the left, filling nearly a third of the panel, is the enormous green head of a very unamused dinosaur — one large eye fixed directly on the small creature and its egg. The creature's speech bubble reads: "I swear that I'm not planning to eat this." The caption below reads: "Egg sample collection sounded like an easy job."

WIP

I’ve been slow with the comics so I thought you might like to see how far I am on the latest one. work in progress

Method

So I am trying out a new system starting this week. I am going to start drawing a comic on one morning and finish it on the next and then start on the next comic. Maybe that will mean a regular schedule. As a reminder we have a store now. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. If you’re looking for a custom card or drawing let me know.

We have a store!

I do in fact have a shop… now.. Okay it’s an Etsy shop but that should work out for the best. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. Please do stop and look around. It’s a bit sparse yet but more to come soon. We will be listing items from both myself and my family. Eventually we will have sketches, photos, crafts, quilts, and likely more for you.

State of the site

So things are actually good.
  • I still want to upload the years of old strips. I’m torn between waiting until the comic easel bulk up-loader works and just doing a week at a time until I’ve caught up.
  • No comic this morning due to snowplowing. We got 12 inches of snow and I normally get up early to draw but instead I had to plow the driveway. Maybe tonight.
  • Holiday Geek Expo was a blast and profitable. I still have some prints for sale and I think I’m going to blow out my old sketch cards to freshen the set up.
