Bankrupt my pants

*** Programming Note ***

I’ve rarely written about my health travails, but when I do it is in the hope that others can get more information or the “inside scoop” about what it is really like to face certain issues. Most of mine revolve around a heart, or lack of one. Continue reading →

Bankrupt my pants

Yeah, it’s clickbait. Kinda.

First: Merry Christmas! We’ve been having trouble getting into the Christmas Spirit so I’ve forced the fam to 1) turn on Christmas lights; 2) go tree “shopping”; and 3) listen to Christmas Music. Like Sabaton.

Bankrupt my pants

I was supposed to have a couple of written pieces published by now. Not happening. I’m having a bit of a rough go. I’ll get over it.

They *are* in process, but… wildlife happened. Wildlife and trials. Wildlife, trials, victories, and celebratory whisky. But I’m blaming wildlife.

On Wednesday, a bobcat came sauntering down our driveway. At first I thought it was a stray dog – we get them from time to time – but as I was putting on my shoes to try to corral him… something was off. Continue reading →

It’s the End of the Year as We Know It

This has always been a difficult time of year for us and 2021 is no different. We could ignore the holidays and keep cranking out story comics. That would be the easy thing. The straightforward thing. The safe thing. The boring thing. Continue reading →

Bounding Into Comics Reviews… Vegfolk Fables!

You can read the whole thing for yourself here.

The quick breakdown:

Codex, Glyph, and I hammered and hammered on our descriptive text on the Arkhaven site. When we were done, we hammered some more. I think the final version was the 6th or 7th draft. Time well spent: BIC printed it in full.

They re-printed parts of the first two comics, which is very nice because it gives potential readers a feel for our art, style, and humor. My only regret is that we didn’t have a different second comic: Of the first story arc (six comics) #2 is by far the weakest. It is still good, just not as good.

The Dark Herald, the author of the review, talked about how great VeggieTales was – and he (she?) is right – and reviewed the sad ending of Big Idea Entertainment. New episodes are still being produced, but they are shadow of those made by the original creators.

“It’s time for something new. Something for today. That’s where Vegfolk Fables comes in.”

High praise indeed!

Thank you Bounding Into Comics and The Dark Herald for your kind words.

The Arkhaven Publishing Escapade

Tempest in a Teardrop is proud to announce The Churchians will be published at Arkhaven, an independent and superversive comics aggregation site. It’s similar to Webtoons, but without the weird, the sick, and the broken that pervades many (most?) online comics in our woke, clownish world. The Churchians is called Vegfolk Fables at Arkhaven. We might officially change the name here at some point, but that’s a different post for a different time. Continue reading →

Late! But…

Tomorrow’s comic is going to be late. Again. Apologies. We should have it out sometime in the afternoon our time, so call it 9-12 hours later than we normally post (5am Pacific).

But…

We’ll be making an announcement within 24 hours of that comic which we’ve been keeping secret for nearly a month. At least, I think it will be within 24 hours. There are multiple time-zone issues involved, and that’s before everything gets screwed up again on Saturday night (technically Sunday morning).

In the meantime… don’t take any mystery shots that might include ‘veganism’ as a side effect.

Man Down: Wilder

https://wilderwealthywise.com has been down for most of the day. John did put up a “Can’t Post Today” post but we can’t access it. I can access Friday’s post by clicking on it through email (I left a comment and subscribed) so we’re hopeful this is a WordPress thingy and not a “You’ve been deleted from the internet” HaHa thingy.

At any rate, John has our email amongst others, so if he has been canceled we’ll give a pointer to his new demense as soon as it becomes available. It’s all of us, folks. We anticipate being canceled one day, too. So should you.

PS Today’s comic is definitely going to be published tomorrow morning. Sorry about that!

 

Art Emergency!

18 Monday Oct 2021

We suffered a severe art emergency that carried over through the weekend. Everyone is okay. The drawing devices are fine. Today’s comic will be published later tonight, or possibly tomorrow morning at our usual time (5:00am Pacific).


For those wondering, an art emergency occurs when an opportunity comes along that you’d like to take advantage of, but it involves extra work that has to be done right now. We’ll provide more information at a later time, as we are still working through said emergency.
