April 5 to May 5, 2025
Lots of exciting stuff went up last month, and some exciting stuff is coming up in May!
Big Announcements
I’m a part of the Cartoonist Cooperative, and we’re having an awesome new event this month! Nib & Ink Fest is a new online comics fair with tons to check out!
✨ Check out the marketplace for a collection of great comics to buy! (Into the Smoke chapter 1 is in the shop!)
✨ Pick up the FREE Sampler to discover new webcomics! (A preview of Into the Smoke is in the sampler!)
✨ Buy the Oops All Comics! charity zine to support the cooperative and read over 50 minicomics on the theme “colorful”! (I have a Canada goose comic in it!)
✨ Check out the list of free events and panels and add them to your calendar!
Speaking of events…
I’m appearing on a panel with some of my favorite fellow webcomic creators! We’re going to be sharing a ton of behind-the-scenes tips and tricks on how we make our comics. The this is a FREE Zoom event, and you can visit the event’s home page to add it to your calendar!
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:
- Read Chapter 2, Episode 7 at intothesmokecomic.com
- Read Chapter 2, Episode 8 at intothesmokecomic.com
- MIRROR SITES: Subscribe and Read on Webtoon and Tapas (censored to PG-13)
✨ Read the “canonically accurate” NSFW versions of these two episodes where Blaze wears nothing to sleep! (Patreon Bonus Tier and higher)
Extras:
1. Inksgiving on Tapas!
In April, we had Inksgiving on Tapas, which is a special event where readers can support creators with Ink to help them achieve some creative goals. We hit a bunch of goals with both Into the Smoke and Demon of the Underground, which means I’m posting some bonus content on Tapas for everyone to see! There’s some stuff coming to Tapas for the first time, some stuff that was previously Patreon exclusive and posting for free for the first time, and we hit one goal for a brand-new spicy ITS sketch!
A couple of the bonuses will post in May (one of them is coming in a few hours!), but here’s what’s gone up at the time of this email:
- Blaze, Alastor, and Judd’s Painted Portraits (previously posted to the ITS website)
- Blaze’s extended character bio (previously exclusive to Patreon)
2. Blaze and Tech: An Into the Smoke minicomic! (Bonus Tier)(Patreon)
3. We have a new Top Webcomics voting incentive! Vote for Into the Smoke and see an old pre-release sketch of Blaze holding Otto. We’re coming from behind this month since the comic’s update days aren’t at optimal times, so votes are greatly appreciated. Let’s see if we can get back into the top 100!
Vote for Into the Smoke on TopWebcomics!
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.
New Pages:
- Chapter 5, Page 48 (Patreon)
- Chapter 5, Page 49 (Patreon)
- MIRROR SITES: Subscribe and Read on Tapas (censored to PG-13)
In case you missed it last month, Demon of the Underground is updating again with free public pages on Tapas!
Extras:
Inksgiving on Tapas!
As I mentioned with Into the Smoke, we hit a bunch of goals for Inksiving, so I’m sharing some bonus content on Tapas! The DOTU bonuses are all Patreon bonuses that are posting for free for the first time!
One more DOTU bonus will post in May, but here’s what’s gone up so far:
- Idiot Sandwich Minicomic (previously exclusive to Patreon)
- Pogo/Samsid Illustration (previously exclusive to Patreon)
Patreon Extras:
1. Since we reached the end of a scene, we had a new scene compilation on Patreon!
2. For April’s Secret Gallery post, we had an AU illustration of the DOTU gang as high school classmates! You can see it directly on Patreon, or in the offsite Secret Gallery! (Patreon)
Minicomics
My Cotton Candy Geese minicomic is finally live! (If you’re in a few specific Discord servers with me, you may have seen this “famous” goose as an emoji before!)
- Buy the minicomic and support the Cartoonist Co-op as part of the Oops All Comics! Charity Zine
- Read the comic on Tumblr
And that’s everything from this past month! See ya next time!
