Monthly Roundup: December 5, 2025

The geese are cold!

In this newsletter, you’ll find out about everything I released over the past 30-31 days.

Anything not labeled “Patreon” or “paid” is free and publicly available.

November 5 to December 5, 2025

Announcements

Over the past few months, I let everyone know what was going on with my webcomics, the current change in my schedule, and why I needed higher funding to be able to continue making them. If you missed all the details, you can catch up on them here. But here’s the latest update!

Full funding goal (keeps current schedule): +$750/month
Amount to continue making comics with some delays/reduced scheduling: +$375/month (midpoint)
Amount as of 11/30: +$430/month

The number fluctuates a lot the first ~5 days of the month due to many older patrons having the 1st as their renewal date. But I just wanted to let you know that, for now, we’ve passed the midpoint with a bit of wiggle room to accommodate high-dollar patrons who are pledging temporarily. So I can at least continue on for now, with those aforementioned occasional delays. And that also means I won’t be starting every Monthly Roundup this way in the future!

Anyway, big thanks to everyone who pledged, gave on ko-fi, bought prints, or bought from my itch.io shop!! And if you haven’t yet and are interested:

And now, the usual monthly roundup!

Into the Smoke

Into the Smoke is my new free vertical-scroll webcomic. It updates every other Wednesday. “When gay medium Blaze binds himself to an evil spirit, he hopes solving the ghost’s murder will help bring him peace. But Alastor the Angel Killer has other plans…”

New Episodes This Month:

Extras:

1. For November’s Secret Gallery post, I did a slightly spicy minicomic showing one of Judd’s especially difficult exorcisms. (Patreon)

2. For November’s Bonus Tier post, I finished my trio of ITS character pencil drawings with Alastor’s portrait! Plus a digitally colored version like the others. (Patreon)

3. If you want a tiny WIP preview of the next ITS episode, check out this Tumblr post. No spoilers, but you might regret it for other reasons.

4. The pdf download of chapter 2 episodes 13-16 is now up on itch.io! You can download it for free/pay-what-you-want.

5. It’s a new month on Top Webcomics! Still the same voting incentive since I’m in graphic novel deadline hell. But votes are still greatly appreciated!

Demon of the Underground

Demon of the Underground is my longest-running webcomic. It’s about Pogo, a half-demon with telekinetic powers who falls into a treacherous underground world beneath Chicago. The first 300+ pages can be read for free at demonoftheunderground.com. Current pages are being released on Patreon, with plans for new free pages in the future.

Demon of the Underground is updating with free public pages on Tapas! We’re up to chapter 4, page 85!

Every episode I’ve been posting to Tapas has been newly converted to vertical scroll, which is why I haven’t had time for too much additional DOTU work. But starting in January, we’ll get brand-new public pages through the end of chapter 4!
