As promised last week, I’m posting the short comic that was dominating my personal project life earlier this year. It’s going to be printed in a book that will be ready by end of summer/beginning of fall, but I wanted to quick share it before taking off the web and making it print-exclusive.
I’ll be posting three times a week–Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays–until the story is over and then it’s back to Next Adventure (Chapter Four!)
I really enjoyed making it and it was refreshing to do something a little different. Short stories are fun, guys. Don’t you forget it.

Yep! That’s it for chapter 3! I’m sure the (half a year?!) hiatus didn’t help, but it feels like chapter three has been going on for some time. Also, thank you for the congratulatory statements for page 100 : ). Having excellent readers makes working on these pages all the better. Still…we’re only at chapter 3!

Here’s the low down on upcoming posting. As mentioned in previous posts, one of the reasons for the extensive hiatus was a short comic (not Next Adventure related) I made for an anthology that myself and a group of comic artist friends put together. The comic is going to be printed, almost exclusively (meaning it won’t be up on the web). EXCEPT.

Between this  Next Adventure chapter’s end and the beginning of the next, I’m going to be posting chunks of that short story comic and it will be available to read  here for a limited time. I’m thinking of posting three pages a week…Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, until it’s completely posted. It may be up for a week or two after that before I take it down and from there, print it is. Not to mention the return of our regularly scheduled programming.

So stay tuned for that, starting next Monday, July 26th!

There’s a few new pieces of fanart I’d like to direct attention to. Both feature a character that hasn’t been seen here yet (but you will, soon enough!). I realize as I’m posting this that this is her cameo appearance on the Next Adventure site. People that watch my sketchblog will recognize her from many a sketch; I enjoy drawing her quite a bit.

The two newest pieces of fanart are gifts from two friends that enjoy copious amounts of time in which I talk about the development of this story, hence their knowledge of upcoming events. I have to mention it today because remembering and viewing the pencil drawing by Naki actually shed a ray of light into what was a pretty crummy day. It’s a gorgeous drawing and I have the honor of owning the original, which is to be framed and hung on my wall.

Oh! Yeah! I almost forgot…here’s another by Roxy! This sign is used to tell whether or not the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty, because I can never remember. (Perforations are thanks to the cats. Good job guys.)
