A New Character Appears! Plus an Exciting Milestone!
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.
February 5 to March 5, 2025
Exciting news on top of exciting news right now! I’m still waiting for the okay to share one of them, but we’ll start off with the other!
Big Announcements
We hit 500 paid+free members on Patreon!! This is a really encouraging milestone, with a ton of free follower growth! Thank you so much to everyone who’s pledged or followed. To celebrate, my most popular tier is on sale!
I feel so lucky to be able to work on Into the Smoke while I can. I probably have enough funding to get through the end of chapter 2, but if we can grow in paid patrons, there’s a much better chance I can continue to chapter 3!
And if we can get to 250 PAID patrons this month, I’ll do a bonus illustration that patrons get to vote on!
Join the Bonus Tier and use Promo Code 99F34 to get 40% off your first month!
Also, March is a Quarterly Sketch month on Patreon! Every 3 months, I do a batch of original sketches including DOTU, ITS, and more. All patrons get to see them, and patrons in the Sketch+Secret Gallery tier get to choose one that I send them in the mail. Pledge or upgrade before the end of the month to get a sketch!
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…”
Someone IMPORTANT just showed up in Into the Smoke……
New Episodes This Month:
- Read Chapter 2, Episode 3 at intothesmokecomic.com
- Read Chapter 2, Episode 4 at intothesmokecomic.com
- MIRROR SITES are back from hiatus! Subscribe and Read on Webtoon and Tapas (censored to PG-13)
Extras:
1. Into the Smoke: The Clybourn House is now COMPLETE!!! Read all 13 early-access chapters on Patreon as part of the Secret Gallery tier! (That includes a whole bunch of NSFW chapters too.)
The Clybourn House is an 18+ (blaze/ghosts) prose story that tells what happened the last time Blaze and Judd saw each other before the start of Into the Smoke. This story will never be released for free (it’s too spicy for that), but it will be released to more Patreon tiers in the future!
- The Clybourn House: Chapter 13 Early Access (Patreon)
- The Clybourn House: Full Collection (Patreon)
2. Check out this tumblr post showing how I work on comic pages in batches!
3. I think we established last month that shitposts count as “releases” if they include “art,” so here’s another one. 🙂
4. Ode to Baguette (Includes some process art from 2023!)
5. For this month’s Secret Gallery post, we got to see a recent Into the Smoke episode adapted to single-page format! (Patreon)
6. The patron credits sheet updates early next month, so be sure to sign it in March if you want to be included in ch2 episodes 6-10! (If your name’s already on it, you don’t need to sign again.)(Patreon)
7. It’s a new month on Top Webcomics, and time for a new incentive: Vote and see a sketch of shirtless Judd, because why not? Voting helps new people discover the comic!
- Vote for Into the Smoke on TopWebcomics
- You can now find all past voting incentive images here in the Bonus Tier! (Patreon)
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 tentative plans for new free pages in the future.
Demon of the Underground is back from break, and we’ll have 2x monthly pages for the remainder of the scene! (Beware: Merritt POW flashbacks!)
New Pages:
- Chapter 5, Page 46 (Patreon)
Patreon Extras:
- In March’s Character Interview video, we find out how Annie gets the attention she deserves, and what everyone’s election platform would be. (Patreon)
Minicomics
Alas, this month was heavy on ITS and light on goose hijinks. I have some goose art queued on Tumblr for tomorrow, but that’ll have to wait till next month’s roundup. In the meantime, have a throwback that came up recently when I was talking to my fellow weary and aging friends.
And that’s everything from this past month! See ya next time!
