Hello my dears! This week I’ve posted the first Monthly Family Man Mini-Podcast! It is almost exactly 16 minutes of me talking about the state of the comic, answering some of your questions, and blithering about Romanticism. If that sounds like your kind of good time, head over to the Patreon and sign up at the […]
Ah, there’s our old friend, Full Page Panel of the Moon! Lucky me, getting such a simple page for Christmas week. Telling scary stories is an important Christmas/Solstice/dark part of the year tradition in much of the English-speaking world. (Sadly for me, America tends to stick to cozier tales – “A Christmas Carol” is the only real […]
Happy new year, my dears! This is the last of our full-page spreads taking us out of the chapter transition. Tally ho, chapter 4! All the pages for print volume 2 are now with my pre-press technician. I’m a lucky duck to know so many talented people, and setting up my files to be properly printable […]
Hello, my dears! I think the Rector has had a long night. In cartoonist-supporting news: after a fair amount of pestering, Jenn Manley Lee has finally put her lovely sci-fi epic Dicebox (a major influence on my work) on Patreon! Dicebox’s print incarnation shares a storage unit with my inventory of Family Man books, and that is […]
Hello my dears! It’s a dreary winter night here in Portland, so I’m a little jealous of Luther getting some sunshine (and some toast). You can tell he’s been looking forward to that toast because he is holding on to it for dear life. Meanwhile, over on the Patreon, we hit $300 a month! That means […]
Well, that’s one more cat out of the bag, isn’t it? This week! The amazing Katie Lane has opened registration for the Ace Freelancer’s Guide Guide to Getting Paid, the first installment in her online course series on how to make business development and client negotiations not-scary for freelancers, small businesses, and other creative enterprises. Katie is sasvy, funny, […]
Hello my dears! This week’s page went up a few hours early on the Patreon. Every so often I don’t come in with my hair on fire right at the midnight deadline, and on those days, I celebrate with my patrons by sharing early, and then I go into the backyard and sacrifice a black rooster to […]
Did you all forget that Nolte’s office has a curtained day-bed? I sure didn’t, and I’ve been waiting to use it this whole damn time. I’ve spent most of this week cranking away on production work for Volume 2 – adding art around the edges of pages that are too closely-trimmed, resizing things, tweaking little art […]
Hello my dears! Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you who celebrate it. Here at Family Man we prefer to honor the spirit of Valentine’s Day with grim, tense scenes in dark, airless rooms. This week in books you should read! For the first time since my school days, a book made me cry so hard that I needed […]
Hello, my dears! This week I’m stuck with a gimpy drawing arm (from lifting a literal ton of books!), a head cold, and two work days lost to the administrative glories of sending my entire publishing catalogue to Diamond Comics for wholesale distribution. But that means I have the excuse to post the almost-final central image […]
