You don’t come here to read! You come here to BUY! (At least, I wish more of you would!) Well, Here are some new prints (available in my store) to make your den, mancave, reading nook or grotto more fun for everyone! Just click the images to purchase!
Mark your calendars for Monday, September 18th, 2023! This is the date that I launch the Kickstarter for Source Code, a limited edition, 24-page sketchbook that is Phase 1 of my plan to bring my humorous science fiction comic book Kobayashi Maru back to life in earnest!
Kobayashi Maru! You’ve all heard of it! It’s the black sheep of Whatisdeepfried.com! I created the first issue of Kobayashi Maru a few years ago, and then put KM on ice to pursue other projects. But this sci-fi parody (which I intended to be my next big project before Aftershock distracted me) has never been far from my thoughts!
Now I want to redraw the first issue with new story elements and with the help of a new creative team, after which I will pitch it to major publishers (Or, if things go really well, self-publish it as my own graphic novel!) And Source Code is my first step towards the goal of making Kobayashi Maru an ongoing series!
Source Code will be filled with development material, character bios, spaceship designs and secret data (ooo!) that is intended to generate a small amount of money to hire the artists I want to work with. The goal is modest (just $3400.00), and in a way, this will be my first true Kickstarter, in that it is meant to get this project off the ground, not complete one I have already begun.
I hope you’ll check out the campaign once it launches! See you next week!
Unfortunately, I might have more in common with HeelvsBabyface than I thought! Read why!
I am hard at work on the contents of the upcoming Kobayashi Maru sketchbook that I will be Kickstarting next month, but next month also marks the debut of Weapon Brown: Aftershock in comic shops nationwide!
Several people have told me that they think Weapon Brown ought to be featured on a popular YouTube channel called “Cartoonist Kayfabe”, which does a daily show highlighting the creators’ favorite comics and graphic novels. With Aftershock about to hit the stands, now would be a great time to get some coverage!
CK invites their viewers to recommend comics for their program, so if anyone would like to drop a recommend for Weapon Brown in the comments section for their latest video, you would make me the opposite of a Sad Panda! (Which I believe is a “Happy Bandicoot!” )
Here’s a piece of art for the next Kickstarter I am planning, which will resurrect Kobayahsi Maru!
